1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Hello, Katie Wolf and three point sixty online at Mix

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: one O four nine dot com. It's just a couple

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: of minutes or five minutes away from ten o'clock. We're

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: running a little late. Following on from that impromptu interview

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: with the Commander Martin Dole there. We are very appreciative

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: though that he came into the studio and spoke to

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: us about that very serious situation that unfolded in Karama

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: at the end of last week. But joining us in

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: the studio now on the phone, I should say a

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: bit of a change of pace. The Lord Mayor convat Scarlets,

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: good morning to you, Con.

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Good morning Katie.

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: Firstly, can I just ask you Con. I know that

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: you penned an opinion piece for the Northern Territory News

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday, The Sunday Territory in there was much, you know,

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: sort of taken from that opinion piece. One of those

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: one of those points was the call for police to

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: be under council authority. What did you mean by that? Con?

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: A great way to throw attention and to throw a reaction.

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: I don't want the police. The police can stay with

21
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: nothern Territory government. My point was to highlight that the

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: community out there is calling for better policing and more policing.

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: For community policing. There is a problem without dissocial behavior,

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: there is a problem with law and order. We have

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: to address it now. Country is doing its bit, we're

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: working together with the police. But it's not only the

27
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: police or the council issue. Everybody has to be involved.

28
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: And that's the reason why I want to call a

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: round table to engage the industry, to engage the police,

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 2: to find solutions to this undisocial behavior and of course

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: law and order. And I mean there's nothing better than

32
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: actually throw red scarring and everybody jumps up and down.

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 2: I don't want the police. I don't want troubles and

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: you can keep the police. What I want I want

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: a better reaction, a better policing, a community policing. As

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: many in the police force is spoken to me privately,

37
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: they would like to see more police on the streets.

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: I know the police is stress the limit. I acknowledge

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: that one, but at the same time must be a

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: way to contrast the problems with faces today nasty.

41
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: You would like to see around table with counsel with police,

42
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: with industry leaders. You want everybody to sit down and

43
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: talk about this. I mean, is that just going to

44
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: slow things down. We know what the issue is here,

45
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: we need to get it sorted.

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: Not at all. Everything happened can happen at the same time.

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: I mean, the police can put their fit on the

48
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: ground and already seen the same ways out in the mall.

49
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: But we need more than that. Our rangers are out there.

50
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: Council supports the government with the patrols in the CPD.

51
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: We have put one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty

52
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: new systykevis that they have to be monitored. It can

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: be monitored. We improve the lights in our streets. We

54
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: already done things and we will continue to do things.

55
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: But let's get together. Because everybody's throwing ideas out in

56
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: the newspapers everywhere else. We'll get together and make these

57
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: ideas a reality. Let's see tell the police what we

58
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: really need and let the police tell us what they

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: can do.

60
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Con You did also right though, that you've got concerns

61
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: about the Police Commissioner obviously also overseeing the Howard Springs

62
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: quarantine facility and still trying to deal with the issue

63
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: of crime. What did you worry that in that respect.

64
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: Are you are you concerned that you know, he's sort

65
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: of got too many eggs in one basket.

66
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: I'm worried that we're actually asking police to do more

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: than they can, or they're putting more pressure on the police.

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: You can't do everything. I mean, we had a very

69
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: successful arrangement there. Why we want to change it was

70
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: much did a great job and we continue to a

71
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: great job and all from experience. To put now the

72
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: police there and to try to find four hundred new professionals,

73
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: it's a very very difficult task, and certainly why do

74
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: we want to spread the policy even more? There were

75
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: very stressual with coming up orders. They're st already because

76
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: the demand for law and order wishes in down and

77
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: other cities like other springs as we saw yesterday. Now

78
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: we want to put them now in impact. We asked

79
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: him too much to be done. Have they got the

80
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: resources because the capacity? Are they're trained to do it?

81
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Are they going there to be blamed if something go wrong?

82
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: I don't think it is the right idea. Was Mad

83
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: did a really good job there. Let them continue their

84
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: jobs and let it pull us to the jobs that

85
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: they're no better to do. Policing our suburbs cities.

86
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: Con can I just ask you very quickly because we're

87
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: running out of time, and I apologized we were running

88
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: late for you this morning. But on those pool fees,

89
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: just on a separate note, I understand that you're re

90
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: looking at those pool fees and there is potential that

91
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: the price to get in the pool could go up

92
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: in order to try and keep those those fees a

93
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: little bit fairer for the various clubs.

94
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: Well, we asked the clubs and actually they came in

95
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: with this idea that a small increase would be better

96
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: for them rather than a big decrease increased in the fees.

97
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: So we did not increase the fist just because we

98
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: felt like it, But we consulted the local community and

99
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: swimming clubs and tribal clubs who have provided submission to

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: council proposing what they believe to be as a standable

101
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: model for increasing the pool. So we go from four

102
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: dollars to five dollars for adults and from two to

103
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: two dollars dollars fifty as president. And that was not

104
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: what Cash besided in isolation. This is what the clubs

105
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: believe that we're a better a model of increase rather

106
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: than something else.

107
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Well, I don't have an issue with it. I'd be

108
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: quite happy to pay five bucks to get into the

109
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: pool to swim my twenty laps, and especially if it

110
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: means that then for all of those clubs, you know,

111
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: it's more affordable for our kids to be able to

112
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: stay active and stay part of those swimming clubs and

113
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: triathlon club no matter what sport you're playing.

114
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: And that's what we want. We want to continue to

115
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: have our young people's trend. We want people to have

116
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 2: access in a very very reasonable price to our swimming pools.

117
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: We don't try to make money out of it. We

118
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: heavily subsidize every streamer goo goes to our simming pool,

119
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: but hey, we live in Darwin. One place to avoid

120
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: the hit is a swimming pool. Keep using them.

121
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: Contact Scarlet's always good to catch up. We'll talk to

122
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: you again very soon.

123
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: Thank you. Have a good morning, Keith, you too,
