Are you ready to get started? 7 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 3: I am. 8 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: Let's do it all right, Danny. 9 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: Why did you decide to put your hand up to 10 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: run for the seat of Blaine. 11 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 3: Well, Katie, I think, as you know, in the last election, 12 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 3: I did run as an independent, and then being unsuccessful 13 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: at that point in time, I got to know more 14 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 3: about the parties in general, and then in the following 15 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 3: year I put my hand up for the City of 16 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: Parmerston and was very lucky enough to be elected as 17 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 3: a counselor at that time. 18 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: And so through that period. 19 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 3: So since twenty seventeen when I was elected, I really 20 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 3: spent a lot more time with that. I guess the 21 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 3: parties have started with Evil in particular, and I've gotten 22 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 3: to know that my values really do align with the 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: Labor Party values and the Territory Labor Party particularly, and 24 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: so throughout the time that I've been on counts, and 25 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 3: I guess all the time that I've lived in Palmerston. 26 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 3: I've been here for over twenty years. I'm a community 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: person and I really want to see more done for 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 3: our community and more of that grass roots approach being 29 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: worked on in partnership with our residents. So with the 30 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 3: redistribution of blame, We've got three really really different suburbs 31 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: in the electorate. So with Molden, wood Driff and Bella 32 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: Matt they are different and we need to be I 33 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: think the representative and hopefully it's me, needs to listen 34 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: to the residents of each suburb and understand what those 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: differences are so that when we're working with whether it 36 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: be local government from the territory of perspective or advocating 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 3: with federal we need to be making sure that that 38 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 3: is very specific and targeted for those for those residents. 39 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: And as I said, just focused in on the communities, 40 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 3: particularly Danny. 41 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: What do you see as being the biggest issues in 42 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: the electrodes. 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 3: Katy, I've been out a lot ive door knocked or 44 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: attempted to door knock every house in the electorate. And 45 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 3: I say attempted to door knock because in both Molden 46 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: and Woodruff we do have a lot of six foot 47 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: sensors and a lot of dogs, so actually getting to 48 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: the door is somewhat difficult, but I've done a lot 49 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: of phone calling as well, and the majority of people 50 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 3: that I speak to. The issues that raised is predominantly 51 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: around public housing. And some of that can be attributed 52 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: to crime and any social behavior, but some of it 53 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 3: is just simply attributed to the lack of support that 54 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 3: they might be some of the tenants are feeling, or 55 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: it could be anything really the issues coming from both 56 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: neighbors and tenants. And with that, I've spent a couple 57 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: of years as a director as a director within housing 58 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: and so I've got a very very good understanding of 59 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 3: how that model works, and also an understanding of the 60 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: rental tenants is at and the Housing Act. And one 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: of the really good things in this space for the 62 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 3: Electricive playing is that on the first of July we 63 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: had around two hundred and fifty properties transferred over to 64 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: the community housing model, which for this area is venture housing. 65 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 3: And whilst it's still in its infantile stages, then we'll need, 66 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 3: you know, to work through some bumps, I'm sure as 67 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 3: it goes that the community housing model as I've seen 68 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: it and I was thankful last year to go along 69 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: to a national Housing conference where I got to learn 70 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: a lot more about that the community housing model is 71 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: about providing a great deal more support to both tenants 72 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: and the neighbors in response to issues, in response to 73 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: maintenance and you know, around that case management of the 74 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: particular dwellings and the families as well. So I'm really 75 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: really excited about that change, and as we can start 76 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: to see and feel that change moving forward, and hopefully 77 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 3: I get the opportunity to work closer with Venture and 78 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 3: insure that gets implemented correctly. 79 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: Danny in the electorate, the oval out there at Malden 80 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: has caused some real concerns in recent weeks for a 81 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: number of the clubs and indeed for the school. Some 82 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: people questioning, well, why the government hasn't done more to 83 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: ensure that it didn't fall into the state that it did. 84 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: I know you're not part of you know of the 85 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: government at the moment, but I mean what do you 86 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: say to the I was living in the elector and 87 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: who feel as though labors filed them with this. 88 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an interesting one, Katie, because I was well 89 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 3: and as of what David at the thirty first yesterday, 90 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 3: I've officially stood down from council for the period of 91 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: the election and what was probably unknown to a lot 92 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: of people is I was working in the background with 93 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 3: counsel trying to get the ball fixed. I was in 94 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: contact with particularly people from the Northern Charts at the 95 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: time because they were using the oval and really trying 96 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 3: to you know, help get that process moved along, and 97 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: I was talking to the principle of Multipart School also. Unfortunately, 98 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 3: it did get to a point where the boar was 99 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 3: broken and the parts for the boar, which at that 100 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 3: time was managed by the City of Palmerston, was taking 101 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 3: you know, they did take us quite a long time 102 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: to get here. And then but as soon as they 103 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: were here, I know that to workmen were out, all 104 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: the work people were out and really got that ball 105 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 3: up and running as quickly as possible.
