Good to have you back on the show 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four. Now, before I get into what's 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: happening in Catherine and some of the good stuff and 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: all the you know, all the various things that are 16 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: happening in Catherine, I do want to focus on education 17 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: and you are indeed the oppositions will shadow spokesperson for Education. 18 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: It's understood there's a number of vacant positions still being 19 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: advertised online, but the departments told the ABC that there 20 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: are no remaining vacancies. Now we're talking about this report 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: that there's at least three staff from the department, two 22 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: of which are former principals having to be deployed to 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: the school to help fill a shortage. 24 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 3: Joe, what are you hearing on the ground, Katie. 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: Last year a new principal came in at the end 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: of the year, and I have heard those reports of 27 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: six teacher vacancies still ongoing. Last year, Catherine South had 28 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: I think three principles for the year. Some of the 29 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 2: kids that I aspect two were saying they had four teachers. 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: Just in the last term. There was, you know, some 31 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: concerns around teachers leaving, and just a couple of weeks 32 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: ago I spoke to the principal and they were seven 33 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: teachers down. But I have spoken to him just via email. 34 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: Symphony said, yes, there is a teacher in front of 35 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: every class, but I do know that some of them 36 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: are from the department, And you know, I think the 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 2: preschool teacher there is from the department, and she's there. 38 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: My understanding is for a couple of weeks, but she 39 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: is also willing to stay on for the term it 40 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: needs to be. But it just gets to a bigger 41 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: issue that you know, there needs to be well our priorities, 42 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: Sell priorities. You know, if we want to build a 43 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: best strong territory, we've got to focus on you know, 44 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 2: key issues to get kids to school, you know, increase literacy, 45 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: numeracy and attract teachers to Catherine or and not just 46 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 2: Catherine but other regions and remote But obviously we're talking 47 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 2: about Catherine today and it is a concern that you know, 48 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: potentially there's still six vacancies at the school. 49 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: Joe, what do you reckon? 50 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: The reason is you know that they're not able to 51 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: fill those vacancies. I mean, nationwide, we know that there 52 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: is a critical teacher shortage. It's been spoken about even 53 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: in places like New South Wales and you know, no 54 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 1: doubt it's having an impact on us here in the territory. 55 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: But is it more than that, Well. 56 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: Yes, obviously we do hear that Australia wide, there is 57 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: you know, an issue with teacher vacancies in Catherine and 58 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: in the territory. I know that crime and anti social 59 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 2: behavior is an issue concerning teachers. Teacher housing is an 60 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: issue because you know, the rents are very expensive and 61 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: there has been you know, quite a few teachers that 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: have left. But there's a bigger story going on around 63 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: Casts South that I think the department are trying to 64 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: work with the school, you know, around the issues of staffing. 65 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: Many staff have moved to other schools around the around 66 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: the town. But you know, at the end of the day, 67 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: we do need to try and to track people to 68 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: our town and focus on keeping them safe and keeping 69 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 2: them house. 70 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: Joe, what is the biggest story when it comes to 71 00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: to Catherine South? 72 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 3: Is it? 73 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: I mean, and I don't like I'm certainly not wanting 74 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: to rag out one of the schools or anything like that, 75 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: but is it, like, what is the concern? 76 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: No, there's been. I mean, my children went to Catherine South. 77 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: I had a very long history with Catherine South, and 78 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: years ago it used to be a likehouse school. And 79 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 2: I think schools do go through cycles of you know, 80 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: when principles change over, maybe they have a bit of 81 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: a different style and potentially people move on because of that. 82 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: It has actually happened before in Katherine with a previous 83 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 2: principal years ago, and I think, you know, the department 84 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 2: needs to better support the school and work with the 85 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: principal in getting teachers to the school and having you know, 86 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: teachers that are just not filling teachers because obviously they've 87 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: left their role up here in Darwin to come to Catherine, 88 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: and like, so who's doing their role where their role 89 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 2: is to support the teachers in the region. 90 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, good question. 91 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 2: So you're basically robbing Peter to pay Paul. 92 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 93 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: Jo. Look, there has been what sounds as though it's 94 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: some good news this morning. I know that the government 95 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: sending out a release saying that Catherine High students are 96 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: set to benefit from a new science, Technology, Engineering, Arts 97 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: and Mathematics center ESTEEM Center, with the construction tender awarded today. 98 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: So it's this fifteen point four million dollar contract to 99 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: build that state of the art educational facility at Catherine 100 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: High School. Good news, but still in the early days. 101 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: I guess that is great news. And from the minute 102 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 2: I hit my grant, they hit the ground. As a candidate, Katie, 103 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: I've been advocating for the high school again because my 104 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 2: children went there and as a long term resident of Katherine, 105 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: we need to support not only the students but the 106 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 2: teachers in a state of the art building like I 107 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: see up here in Darwen, and it has been a 108 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,679 Speaker 2: very long time coming. The infrastructure there is for years old. 109 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: It's interesting that that is now a fifteen million dollar project, 110 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: because I'm sure it started off as a nine million 111 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: dollar project three years ago. 112 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: A bit of a blowout, you reckon. 113 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely, it was a blowout, and that was brought to 114 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 2: the attention last year in a meeting at school I 115 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: was at. Anyway, I welcome that and I look forward 116 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 2: to that being built. But I just hope that Catherine 117 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 2: High School does get the support it needs to drive 118 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: that infrastructure and get that happening pretty soon, because it's 119 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 2: been a very long time coming. 120 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 121 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 122 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes sometimes the announcements get made and then 123 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: they sort of feel like they take forever to come 124 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: to fruition. So hopefully that all gets going pretty quickly. Now, Joe, 125 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: how have things been going in Catherine in terms of 126 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: have you guys been getting quite a bit of the 127 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: wet weather or has it been going. 128 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 2: Well the wet season. I did have a little breakover Christmas, 129 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 2: and I wasn't there for the massive storm over the 130 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: New Year period. But yesterday we had a beautiful day 131 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: of overcast and drizzly rain nearly all day, only a 132 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: little bit about eight mel overnight. Oh that's what we 133 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: had anyway, But yeah, it's been you know, the storms 134 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: have had trees down around the area and there's been 135 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: some cleaning up going on after that, but for the 136 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: whole it's you know, we've had the crime and anti 137 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: social behavior. My local United just had an incident with 138 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: an edge weapon yesterday morning. There are still you know, 139 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: crime and antisocial behaviors going on. I'm constantly writing to 140 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: the police minister, which if he's listening, can you just 141 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 2: answer my email or what have. 142 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 3: You written to him? What are you wanting to know? 143 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: Well, I want to know why the youth and Catherine 144 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: and I think this can go across the territory. There 145 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: is a very small amount of youth that are doing 146 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: the crime, but there are no consequences, Katie, and what 147 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 2: we need is to have the victims feel like they are, 148 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: you know, in front of the perpetrator, when the perpetrator 149 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 2: goes to court and just gets let out that is 150 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: not accessible. There does need to be a consequence, and 151 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: it just goes back to attracting the teachers to the 152 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: school and the doctors to the town, the health professionals. 153 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: You know, we can't attract these people if we don't 154 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: have a say, strong territory for them to actually. 155 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: Come to So on that Catherine service station situation that 156 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: happened earlier in the week, we did. 157 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 3: We reported on it yesterday. 158 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: Have you spoken to those operators or how are some 159 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: of those servo operators going in Catherine at the moment, 160 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: because you know, we again we focused on that a 161 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: little earlier in the week about different service stations in 162 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: Darwin being targeted. 163 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 3: How is it for you guys? 164 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was listening to that Katie and my local 165 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: as I said, United, you know, it's just when it opened, 166 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: it was a very welcoming open service station. Now there's 167 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: you know, the person up everywhere. You can't get to 168 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: the people. I didn't.
