1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: And joining me on the line right now is the 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: independent member for going a Kezia Puric. 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: Good morning, Cazier, Hey, good morning, Katie. Good morning to 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 2: push people listening to your show. 5 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: There's plenty of people that listen out there in the 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: rural area. You know that you always get plenty of 7 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,479 Speaker 1: love when you're on the show. 8 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 2: Easier I do to show. 9 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: I know that, Oh, Casier, we've just finished well the 10 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: acting Police commissioners first sit down interview there following on 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, from the fact that he'd been announced acting 12 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: in that role. I've got to say, it sounds as 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: though he's got a tremendous amount of work underway and 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: he's really hit the ground running. 15 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 2: I think so. Yes, I did listen to some of it, 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: not all of it, but and I do know Michael 17 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,319 Speaker 2: Lerson not well but a moment. I've always found him 18 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: to be a very approachable person, given his high level 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: within the police force, and happy to talk about anything, 20 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: happy to assist, you know, even this little issues that 21 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: I might have in my elected or out and the 22 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 2: rule are so and things seem to be happening and 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,919 Speaker 2: it seems to be positive, you know, like not making 24 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 2: it mandatory that, you know, goppers have to spend twos 25 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: that are posting the bush type of thing. You know, 26 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: Like there's lots of people actually want to go and 27 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: live in remote communities for whatever reason, you know, apart 28 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: from doing their job. You know, they just love the 29 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: love the environment, love the outdoors, love working with the 30 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 2: people in those communities. Plus approaching people who perhaps recently 31 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: left the police force. I think that's a great idea 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: because you know, you know, and I know, when you 33 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: lose people who've been in the force for fifteen twenty 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: years or so, you lose a huge amount of corporate 35 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: memory and corporate intelligence. So if he can if he 36 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 2: can put a big lasso around that and bring it 37 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: back into the police force, I mean, that's just going 38 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: to be a huge bonus. 39 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really will. 40 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: You might also you know, well it will bring all 41 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: that back. Plus it'll just you know, bring some old 42 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: old blokes, old women back into the fold who just 43 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: left because they're unhappy for whatever reason. 44 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say older, I would say experienced. 45 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: Oh that's it, experience of mature experience. But I will 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 2: be writing to him, and I will write to the 47 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: ministry well in regards to the school based constables, because I, oh, yes, 48 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure he would be responsive to that, because, 49 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 2: as you know, we've talked about it in the past, prevention, prevention. 50 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: These young people in schools, you know, who are a 51 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: little bit confused, a little bit not sure which way 52 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: to go, perhaps a little bit vunable to some peer 53 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: group pressure. You've got those school based constable figures there. 54 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: They can sound things often, they can assist them, they 55 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: can talk to them about drugs. You know, we know 56 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 2: it works. It definitely works. So if he's going to 57 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: attract more people back into the force, then I think 58 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 2: there's another way that we can also help with some 59 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: of our current society problems is to get these constables 60 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 2: back in the schools because the auxiliaries, it's nice as 61 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: people as they are, they're probably good at what they doing. 62 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: They're not the same as a constable an officer. 63 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: Hey, I want to ask you, Kysia. We know that 64 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: I've got a couple of messages here. There's one here 65 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: from the Room for all People, and it says, Katie, 66 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: can you please ask easier about the Water Act from 67 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon and explain it and will it mean putting 68 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: meters on bores. 69 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: Hell no, I said that upfront in my speech. So 70 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 2: the Rule people listening over my dead body, and Jared 71 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: Mayley said over his dead body too. The meters on 72 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: boars domestic balls is not in this. It will never 73 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: be in this, and we will never accept it is. 74 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: It is a problematic issue. The government has given up 75 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 2: on it three times to my knowledge, whether it's it's 76 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: usually not driven by the Ministry. It's usually driven by 77 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: someone within Water Resources. They come up with a bright idea, 78 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: we must find out how the Rule people and what 79 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 2: they're doing with their water rubbish. So this has got 80 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: nothing to do with that. The Minister of the Water 81 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: Act I supported what it basically means. I've got ten acres. 82 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: I can cut it into two five laker locks tomorrow 83 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: because that's the zoning rules. I've got one boll And 84 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: what happened is I put my application into the DCA. 85 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: They had to go to Water Resources and say can 86 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: subdivisions support another bore? Invariably water Resources would come back 87 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: because there's pressure on our acohoers and say no, the 88 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: subdivision can't support an additional bore. So the subdivision gets 89 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: knocked back. So I can't cut my block in get right. 90 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 91 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: What this has done is they will no longer have 92 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 2: to consult with water resources. I can put my application 93 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 2: into subdivide my ten acres into two five. I will 94 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: then have to nominate which property will have a bore, 95 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: and if it's the existing one, that's what I've got. 96 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: The new block won't have a ball. They will have 97 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: to have rain water tanks or water comes from my 98 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: block or whatever. It's actually quite a good move for 99 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: people who have been wanting to subdivide their land according 100 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: to the zoning without having to get knocked back all 101 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: the time because they have to put down a bore. 102 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: That does that make sense to people listening. 103 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: I think, So to give them a call, I'm sure 104 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: they'll message. If it doesn't easier, they'll definitely get in 105 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: contact with us and let us know. Hey, while I've 106 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: got you, and you know that I'm always watching question 107 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: Time and I'm always trying to keep an eye on 108 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: what's going on in Parliament. But I've got to tell her, 109 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: I was listening to Question Time yesterday and I felt 110 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: a bit confused. It was a very bizarre situation where 111 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: you saw the government sort of choosing to focus on 112 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: the COLP. I mean focusing on the former CLP government 113 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: shortfallings and goodness knows there was a lot of them, 114 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: but actually sort of asking themselves questions about the former 115 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: CLP government. I've never really seen it before. 116 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: Kesier, No, it was a bit bizarre. I have to say, 117 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: you know, where I can observe a lot, you know, 118 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: and have done over the years, and I feel that 119 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 2: the government's a little bit on the run. You know. 120 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: They shouldn't be asking questions of the CLP, of the 121 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: former COLP government. They should be sproken their own work 122 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: and their own performance, not questioning what's gone before. On 123 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 2: the opposition benures, you know, and a few of them 124 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,239 Speaker 2: use this tactic of oh, you know the acting opposition leader, 125 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: you've been appointed, you know, blah blah blah. Yeah said 126 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: it before. People are tired of that willinginess, you know, 127 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: like you can be clever, and you can be smart, 128 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: and you can be a bit funny, but at a 129 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: certain time in regard to a certain subject. Question time 130 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 2: is where the opposition and US as independent are trying 131 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 2: to get an answer from the government in regards to 132 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: a particular issue or a particular problem. Or they're responding 133 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: in regards to their constituencies people generally, and they're wanting 134 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 2: to hold government to account and get quests, get answers. Yeah, 135 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: but the government seems to you know, the just views 136 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 2: that expression goes dick around trying to be smart asses. 137 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: And I tell you, o, Katie, it's worn really really 138 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: thin with people out there in the community. 139 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: It truly is, especially when you hear them continuously using 140 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: that line talking the territory down. I don't think they 141 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: realize how much it grates on people. 142 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: It's really just a nonsense statement, you know, and as 143 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 2: sooner they stop using it, the better. It's the same 144 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: as they use the expression, you know, one trick pony, 145 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: you know, like it's just it's a nonsense. Okay. I'll 146 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: give you an example of what people out there, the 147 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: sentiments out there. I went to the Big Mile the 148 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 2: other day to buy a little groovy gadget chainsaw best 149 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: thing ever, best toy anyway, that aside. When I was 150 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: talking to the fellows there where you go in and 151 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: get your oils and get things fixed and everything, they 152 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: were saying, the most topic at that counter is not 153 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: your chainsaw bars, not the oils not Europeirs. Crime. Yeah, 154 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: that's what people are coming in to talk to about 155 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: in there, and there's usually about three or four fellows 156 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: on the counter. They've been there for ever and that's 157 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: what they're talking about. And it was quite shocked, you know, 158 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: because I expected in some places where you know, perhaps 159 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: more retail because they seem to be more of a 160 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: target and that's broken windows, et cetera. But this is 161 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: a I don't know what you call it, a semi 162 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: industrial kind of business, and it is a very busy business, 163 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: so a lot of traffic coming to and from that business. 164 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: That's what they're talking about. It's a clime and how 165 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: it's impacting on people. 166 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: That's exactly right, and it's something that impacts absolutely everybody. 167 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: And that is why, you know, we really need to 168 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: get a hold of it and the government needs to 169 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: take it as seriously as territorians are taking it. And 170 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, that sort of laughing it off in question 171 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: time or you know, saying that people are talking the 172 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: territory down. It just doesn't. It just stinks, you know, 173 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: it doesn't. It doesn't sound good at all. 174 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: It's not showing leadership, it's not nothing is resonating with 175 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: the community at this point of time. They're looking for 176 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: some direction, they're desperate for some direction, and I think 177 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 2: the new acting Police Commissioner is giving that kind of 178 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: direction and leadership at least his employment situation, like to 179 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: the troops, whether it be police, fire, emergency services. And 180 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: that's what people want. They you know, there's a time 181 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: for laughing and mucking around, and it's not now, and 182 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: it's not in this chamber like it's you know, you 183 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: can have your light moments, but that's not the kind 184 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: of thing. So yes, you know, we're getting business done here, 185 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 2: and legislation is passing like the one I think you 186 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: might have spoken about us hands and officers using mace 187 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: and things of that nature. That's pretty important stuff, you know, 188 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: because we're trying to give the tools to the people 189 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: to maintain law and order on our public transport. Given 190 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: that so many people depend upon public buses, you know, 191 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: you've got to make them safe for lots of oldies 192 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: and lots of young es as well. Plus plus I 193 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 2: should ad Katie and the what do you call it? 194 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: The bus exchanges? Like I've had a parent come to 195 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: me about the Palmerston bus exchange and she's just horrified 196 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 2: and has started a petition at the people that hang 197 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: out there for the out o'clock buses to take kids 198 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 2: to school. They're drunk, they're defecating, there's rubbish everywhere, they're 199 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 2: sleeping there, and that's the main interchange. And what do 200 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: you call them the security people for the bus exchange. 201 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 2: They're not doing anything. They're just standing by because they 202 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: probably don't want to get involved because they've probably been 203 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: lashed at. So this is what people are hurting about. 204 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: They're hurting impacting on their family. Absolutely, this mom will 205 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: not leave her children there. They're about ten and twelve 206 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 2: a people their bbouts and she will stay with them 207 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 2: till they hop onto that bus. And other mums and 208 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: dads are doing that. 209 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 1: Too, Oh one hundred percent, Kezia, I'm gonna have to 210 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: get ready to go because we're about to catch up 211 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: with the Northern Territory Police Association. But I'm very keen 212 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: just to hear from you quickly. I'm not sure whether 213 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: you've heard. Over the last couple of days, we've had 214 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: a lot of discussion about changes to school counselors within 215 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: those schools, and a lot of students also school counsels, 216 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: and indeed teaching staff really very concerned about these changes 217 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to school counselors and what seems as 218 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: though a real lack of school counselors. What do you 219 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: make of it all? 220 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 2: I don't know what this Department Education is doing, but 221 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 2: they've sort of held full of load of bullshit, that's 222 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: what I say. They call it carpetland where they live 223 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: in the big city, you know, in the big building 224 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 2: in the big city. I have struggled on behalf of 225 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: my constituency to get the two counselors into tomm in College. 226 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: Sometimes I don't even have the one there. I listened 227 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: to the education person on your radio yesterday or the 228 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: other radio station, and she wouldn't answer your question, you know, 229 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: and it was all this fluffy Oh, we've got these units, 230 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: and we've got this, and we're doing that, we're doing this. 231 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: Just answered the question have you got I've got twenty 232 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: seven councilors and we're recruiting for another five. I was 233 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: told they were recruiting for the Second Amendment Council nearly 234 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 2: twelve months ago. Wow. So I don't know who came 235 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: up with this bright idea to put them all back 236 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 2: into corporate office and then to share them out. It 237 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: won't work nice And as taking the school based constables 238 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: out won't work hasn't worked. I put a question on 239 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 2: a question through to the Minister's office. How many incidents 240 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: have happened at our high schools since you took out 241 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: the school based constables because auxiliaries can't respond, they have 242 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: to go and get the police in. You know what, 243 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 2: the minister right back to me. Ask the questions during 244 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 2: estimate time, that's your time to ask the questions, and 245 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: I thought that is. 246 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: Just lazy, it's not fair, you know. Like the thing is, 247 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: there's actually people in your electorate that want to know 248 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: the answers to those questions as well, and that is 249 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 1: where I always think it's a bit disrespectful and disingenuous. 250 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: Then when you get responses like that, Kisie, I'm really sorry. 251 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to wrap it up, but we will 252 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: talk to you again very soon. 253 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 2: Thanks Katie, Thank you,
