1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: One of them is going to be joining us this morning,

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: and I believe that I've got him on the line

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: right now. Chris siver Trees, Good morning to you. Hang on,

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: let's try that again. I'm having no luck in here

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: this morning. Good morning to you, Chris.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: Good morning Katie.

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: Sorry mate, we're just scrambling a bit in the background

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: this morning. Now, just to get this really clear, how

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: do you pronounce your last name? Siver Torees. Good on you, Chris. Now,

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: I think Max has explained to you how it's all

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: going to work. You've got five minutes to answer a

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: series of questions. Are you ready?

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: I'm ready.

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Chris. Firstly, do you live in

15
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: the Electors?

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: Look, Katie, I don't currently live in the electric I've

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: spent the last fifteen years living and working in remote

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: and regional areas across the territory. But the last twelve

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: months I've been back and forth between Tenant Creek and Darwin.

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: My wife and I have been looking at property in

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: Berry Springs, and funnily enough, we have an inspection on

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: a property next week. So I am committed to living

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: in the Electorates and win or lose. I will be

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: living in the Daily Electric.

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: Now, what job were you in before putting your hand

26
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: up for this by election?

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: I was working or was working for the family business.

28
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: My family has a construction business that has worked in

29
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: Tenant Creek and the Darwin region. So I've been traveling

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: back and forth doing work for them.

31
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: And why did you decide to put your hand up

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: for this job?

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: Well, look, I've always been one that's been of the

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: opinion if you're not happy about something, to put your

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: hand up and have a crack at it yourself. So

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: I'm obviously not happy with the current government and how

37
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: things are going, and unfortunately, with the current member for

38
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: Daily Inflame standing down, it was the perfect opportunity to

39
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: put my hand up and have a statum stand up

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 2: for the region.

41
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: Now, I know we've got a lot of listeners in

42
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: the Daily electorate, particularly those who live in the likes

43
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: of Dundee and Berry Springs tell a community and also

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: the lack of health services out in Dundee are issues

45
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: that are raised with us regularly. What do you see

46
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: as being the issues in the electorate at the moment.

47
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: Oh, look, it's a very wide electric There's a lot

48
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: of areas and there's a lot of different issues, but

49
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: it's the same as most places across the territory crime, roads, health,

50
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: lack of telecommunications, infrastructure, housing, water, just basic services.

51
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: And taking those issues into account. Why do you feel

52
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: that you're the best place to work with the community

53
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: in an effort to try to fix them.

54
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: Well, as I said, I've spent fifteen years living in

55
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: regional and remote areas and I understand the challenges people

56
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: living in these areas face. I know what it's like

57
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: to be below the Barrimerligne and just be forgotten about

58
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: by the current very dull and centric government. I want

59
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: to be a strong voice as part of a strong

60
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: team and stand up for the region, make sure their

61
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: voice is heard.

62
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Chris, why should people vote for you?

63
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: Well, as she said, we don't want to see the

64
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 2: bad labor government get any stronger. I'm someone who is

65
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: a good listener and I will go out constantly and

66
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: fight for the people of daily. I want to make

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 2: sure their voice was heard and they get fair representation.

68
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: The Gunner government needs to remember that there's a northern

69
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: territory below the bar of my Ligne.

70
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: You've still got a bit of a two minutes left.

71
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: Is there anything else you came to add.

72
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: Oh, look, I've just been out and about the last

73
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: couple of weeks talking to people on the ground, and

74
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: like I said, these concerns they've been repeated by everyone

75
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: across the electorate. They just feel like they've been forgotten

76
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: and they've had enough. So I encourage everyone to send

77
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: a strong message to labor government and put them last.

78
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: Well, Chris Sivatoes, it's good to speak with you this morning.

79
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for your time and all the best.

80
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Thanks having on the show, Katie,

81
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: thank you
