I don't know how 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: it is if you're in your electorate in the daily 16 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: at the moment, or if you're a bit closer to town, 17 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: but yeah, wet weather or about Yeah. 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: No, I'm actually sitting in a park in Pine Creek 19 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: and it's a little bit overcast, but it's a bit warm. 20 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: We haven't had any rain here as of yet, but 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: it's got that kind of muggy feeling where it would 22 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,639 Speaker 2: rain at any time. 23 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: And is there a bit organized like in Pine Creek obvious, 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: So we've got such a rich war history here in 25 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: the Northern Territory. Is there a bit organized out your 26 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: way for today? 27 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: I believe Adelaide River there's a service on today at 28 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: eleven o'clock down at the War Memorial, so there. I know. 29 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: At Waggat Beach where I live, there's people getting together 30 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: to cormemorate people there. So yeah, there's a few things 31 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: happening around the electorate and obviously the big one in 32 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: Darwin today as well, which a lot of people will 33 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 2: be heading to. 34 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt now Durand there's lots happening around the 35 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: place this morning. But we're keen to talk to you 36 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: today because we know that we've obviously heard hundreds of 37 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: health support workers are set to walk off the job 38 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: in public hospitals right across the Northern Territory and coming 39 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: days now. The United Workers' Union members who work in 40 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: health support services in Northern Territory hospitals last week voted 41 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: to take that protected industrial action. What do you make 42 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: of the timing of this action given that well up 43 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: until yesterday we were still experiencing those code yellows across 44 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: at least our two major hospitals. 45 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Katie. And you know, firstly, I do 46 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: just want to commend our territory healthcare workers right across 47 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: the board from our hospitals that are in there and 48 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: under those extreme pressures that they face every single day. 49 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: I did a hospital visit last week and met many 50 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: staff and got to walk through and that the incredible 51 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: work and the pressures that are under must be extremely exhausting. 52 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: And you know when I was there at the time, 53 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: I was told that, you know, this is actually quite 54 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: a quiet day, but the amount of people coming through 55 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: those front doors was extraordinary in those pressure EDGs you 56 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: see we're in the hospital. But you know, I think 57 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: it's unfortunate it's got to this, but it's clearly needed 58 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 2: by the staff. I think it's I think, you know, 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: the minister does need to sit down with the union 60 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: and actually just work it through. My understanding, he hasn't 61 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: even sat down with the workers, and you know that's 62 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 2: something you have to do with part of the negotiations 63 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: around the EBA agreements. You know, you're not going to 64 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: agree on everything, but at least sit down, come to 65 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: a common ground and hopefully you can work through those 66 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: agreements that can be put in place so we don't 67 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: have strikes like this today. What's that? 68 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: What's planned? Yeah, and we're going to catch up with 69 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: the union after ten o'clock this morning, so we'll find 70 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: out exactly where things right when they're planning to do that. 71 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: I mean, do you think that they should just get 72 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: paid more even if the budget doesn't really allow for it. 73 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, well definitely from what you know. Like I said, 74 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: I visited the hospital just recently last week, and those 75 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 2: pressures that they're under are huge, and they do an 76 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: incredible amount of job. You know, this is about the 77 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 2: primary healthcare of all territory ends that those pressures are big. 78 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: And you know we've seen a code yellow that have 79 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: been called last week or the week before, two weeks ago, 80 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: and you know that's from my understanding. You know, a 81 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: lot of the time there should be Code yellows called 82 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: a lot more frequently, but the Silky government have decided 83 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: to hire the freshold so they're not called. So what 84 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: we're seeing now is a lot more pressure put on 85 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: those hospital staff and the doctors and nurses at the 86 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 2: front line. And having to work longer hours under higher pressures. 87 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: But if you actually call the code yellows, you can 88 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: take some of that pressure off, looking at the lower 89 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 2: needs of patients that are in the hospital and that 90 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 2: they can be taken back home and that their health 91 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: care can be sorted at home. But then you can 92 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 2: actually deal with the really serious health care that's needed 93 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: for those patients in the hospital. 94 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: I know that there'll be people listening this morning, and 95 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, some saying, yes, we definitely we need to 96 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: make sure that our healthcare workers and those in those 97 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: support roles do need to be paid more because we've 98 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: got to keep them here and we don't want them 99 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: to be moving into state. There'll be others that are saying, look, 100 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: we just don't have the budget for it. But then 101 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: the other part of this argument. We've spoken to the 102 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: Australian Medical Association's Anti Executive or NTI head, doctor john's 103 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: Orbis last week who said to us, Katie, the situation 104 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 1: here is that we are massively underfunded by the federal 105 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: government when it comes to our health services, and until 106 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: that is boosted, we're really always going to have these concerns. 107 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: I mean, is that something that Labor locally is going 108 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: to be pushing on the federal Labor Party about like 109 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: we do need a funding boost here when it comes 110 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: to those health services. 111 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, i'm sure where. I was actually down in 112 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 2: Canberra last week and I met with Minister Butler to 113 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 2: advocate on behalf of territory orans around the health services, 114 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: from maternity services to funding for the Northern Territory. And 115 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: you know, we have had a thirty percent increase to 116 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: the health budget overall. Am I saying that's enough or 117 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: that's perfect? No, I'm not, but I think it is 118 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: something to celebrate that we have had a thirty percent 119 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: increase in the health budget. We've seen the federal government. 120 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: You know, we've got the healthcare clinic for Palmerston and 121 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: one that's currently being built in dal and that's going 122 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 2: to alleviate a lot of pressure off Darwin and Palmerston Hospital. 123 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: We're seeing the improved of bulk billing, which means it's 124 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: cheaper for people to go and see a doctor, cheaper 125 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: medicines as well. And we've also seen the announcement with 126 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: the new age care facilities, sixty million dollars for age 127 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: care facilities, so that will also take those pressures off 128 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: the hospital system as well. So there is a lot 129 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: that the federal government are doing. But you know, we've 130 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 2: seen term million dollars also put into the maternity services. 131 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 2: We're studentsure and upgrade, we've in the and to Health 132 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: Darwin Hospital for maternity services. 133 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: But you know all that, do you reckon we still 134 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: need more. I mean that's what the IMI is saying. 135 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously, like I'll always advocate for more money, and 136 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: that was part of the reason why I went to Canberra, 137 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: and it's it's it's something that I would encourage the 138 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: Health Minister, Steve Edgington to actually go down to Canberra, 139 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 2: get in the face of the minister, sit in front 140 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 2: of him and just map out exactly what funding you 141 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: need to draw it up because you know the concern 142 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: I had, and you know, I'm not trying to fry 143 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 2: stones here. It's it's we're trying to work together to 144 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: get to get a good outcome of terratoins. But with 145 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: the maternity services, for example, they were just asking for 146 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: like thirty four million dollars. There's no really business case 147 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: or a breakdown of costings or funding of that. And 148 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 2: that's that's you know, you need to actually break down 149 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: and so to ensure that the money is well spent. 150 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: And if if Steve Edgington thinks that that's a good case, 151 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: well he should be flying down to Canbra and physically 152 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: putting his face in run of the minister and just going, look, 153 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: we really need this money and this is why, this 154 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: is why we need it. 155 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: That you are working together. But do you reckon that 156 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: everybody is? I mean, given the tip for tat that's 157 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: been going on between the Northern Territory government and Luke Gosling, 158 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: and I know you're not Luke Gosling, but do you 159 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: reckon we are actually all working together here? 160 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: Well it's the responsibility of Steve Edgington to go. Now 161 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: he is the Health Minister for the Northern Territory. He 162 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 2: has oversight of all the hospitals and the healthcare in 163 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: the Northern Territory. Now, I know Luke and Marion advocating 164 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 2: in their roles down in Canberra, but Steve has a 165 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: whole department behind him. He can break down those business 166 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: cases for maternity services and it is really important to 167 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 2: have a really good strong relationship with those federal ministers. 168 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: So when times do get tough, like we saw the 169 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: closure of the maternity services, you can actually pick up 170 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: the phone or get down there and put your case 171 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 2: forward to advocate on behalf of Northern people expect. 172 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: It's sort of what they expect from both, you know, 173 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: like from the federal member for Solomon as well. They 174 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: expect both of them, I think to sit down and 175 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: to work out what's bace for the Northern territory. But Durun, look, 176 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: we're going to have to move on. I do want 177 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: to ask you quickly about the welcome return of the 178 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: barge services to what Air. I know that that certainly 179 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: you've welcomed that return, but you have been critical of 180 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: the government for claiming credit. Can you explain in your 181 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: view what happened behind the scenes to get this service 182 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: back up and running. 183 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I was pretty disappointed in Steve Edgington. 184 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: Again. 185 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 2: I've raised this issue with him a number of times 186 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: in good faith, you know. I sent him a letter, 187 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: I put a question to him at question time. I 188 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: was talking to him behind the scenes during sittings to 189 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: let him know where things were up with the barge 190 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 2: you know, Malanderie and myself went out there a couple 191 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: of months ago to meet with different organizations to talk 192 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 2: about the barge service to get an understanding of what's 193 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: really going on. And ultimately what was happened there was 194 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 2: an expression of interest put out which was run through 195 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 2: the government, and there were some organizations that were cut 196 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: out of those negotiations, so not everyone was included in 197 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: how that barge service was run, and to the point 198 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: where one of the organizations actually pulled out of that 199 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: negotiation period, and so it actually took Summer Development Corporation 200 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: to get people together to actually negotiate it with the 201 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: top end barge service. And so then what was disappointing 202 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 2: was Steve puts a statement out criticizing Maleanderie and myself 203 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 2: when we were actually both keeping in close contact with 204 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: the organizations to have an understanding where it was at. 205 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 2: I was keeping him updated in good faith, and then 206 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,599 Speaker 2: he comes out and tries to take credit for it, 207 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: and I just thought it was really poor below the 208 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: belt politics when we're talking about potentially a food security issue, 209 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: a humanitarian issue in whatever if that arch service wasn't 210 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: up to get running. And I know that the organizations 211 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 2: out there weren't happy because they called me straight away. 212 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: Hence why I also had the backing to put that 213 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: statement out to call on Steve Well, actually, what a 214 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: get I knew you didn't go out there and meet 215 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: with the organizations. You know, he should have actually gone 216 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: out there and physically sat down with the community to 217 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 2: have a broader understanding of what was actually going on. 218 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: And you know, I'm quite happy to work with people, 219 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 2: and that's why I was keeping Steve updated about what 220 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: was going on. And then I thought it was a 221 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 2: pretty low blow to come out and criticize myself. And 222 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 2: you know, Summer Development Corporation have come out and thanked 223 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: Melanderie and myself for keeping engaged in that to ensure 224 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 2: that we were ready to go if it needed to 225 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: take it to the next step. But I do want 226 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 2: to thank the community of whatever stations actually, you know, 227 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: coming together and getting the service it's needed. And I 228 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: believe the first barge will be coming in on Tuesday. 229 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: Excellent, Jo, Well, hopefully it runs smoothly. All run smoothly 230 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: for Tuesday. 231 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I hope so too. And yeah, we see 232 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: that barge service come in because it is it is 233 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 2: an important link to what air you know, it's security 234 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 2: as well, it's your medicines that go out there, it's 235 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: the infrastructure programs that are happening in what Air, the 236 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 2: school us at the age care center, so it's all 237 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 2: the services that really rely on that community to function 238 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: well and deliver their services on the ground. 239 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: Well, Duran Young, the deputy opposition leader, good to speak 240 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: to you this morning. Really appreciate your time. 241 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 2: You two Katie and thank you for your time. I 242 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 2: appreciate it. 243 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: Thank you.
