1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Now, just a little while ago we revealed that the

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Chief Minister, Michael Gunner had posted on his Facebook page

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: that there is no new cases of COVID announced well

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: so far this morning, we are still expecting the Chief Minister,

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: Michael Gunner, as well as the Chief Health Officer and

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: indeed the Police Commissioner to front the media, hopefully well

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: within the hour. I think it's probably going to be

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: closer to midday is what we've been told by his

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: office earlier this morning, but we will wait and hear

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: exactly when that's going to happen.

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: Now.

12
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: I had questions sort of how many of those tests

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: have now been conducted for those close contacts and indeed

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: those casual contacts, whether they've received those results back. And

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: we've got quite a few calls through. Joining us on

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: the line right now is Chris, who I believe is

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: in Catherine. Get a Chris, not bad mate. What's the

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: situation with you? I understand that someone you know is

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: a close contact.

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 3: Well, my boss's daughter was the one that served him

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: of Woolli's right and was a direct direct contact, and

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: they were told that the results would be pretty much instantaneous,

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: and they still haven't received any notification whatsoever, and as

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: a result, the whole family has had quarantine self quarantine

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: isolated at this stage, not knowing when, what, how you

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: know things are going. So it's and I'm I'm left

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 3: on my own because I was the only one that

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: wasn't the contact with them at the time. So yeah,

29
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 3: it's quite frustrating for them because they've got a they've

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: got a business to run and they can't run it

31
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: because they're at home and they were told they'd be

32
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: told straight away.

33
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: So Chris, what you're telling us is that your boss's

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: daughter was working at Woolworth. She's the person who served

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: the COVID positive person and she still doesn't know whether

36
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: she's received a negative result.

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: That's right. They've heard nothing yet at all. They're told

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 3: they were told they'd here on Tuesday morning and heard nothing.

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: They were told they here Tuesday night. They still haven't

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: heard anything. They still haven't heard anything today.

41
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: So then what is.

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: Your reaction when you you know, when you see or

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: hear that the Chief Minister's put on his social media

44
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: page that there's no positive cases from overnight, I'm pretty.

45
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: Pretty dumbfanded by it all. I mean, they I mean

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: follow I've been following this quite quite closely on the

47
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: news and stuff, not only through the territory but Australia wide.

48
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: And for everybody chastised gladysparagingly. I think I was for

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: putting a post on Twitter and et cetera regards to

50
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: situations and labor in particular, slamming her for what she did,

51
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: and then they go and do it themselves. Yeah.

52
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: Look, I just think, you know, they've got to make

53
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: sure that that communication is really direct with people. We're

54
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: talking about a pandemic, you know. We're not talking about

55
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: sort of you know, announcements prior to an election or

56
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: different policy announcements.

57
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: We're talking about a pandemic here.

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and people's lives and livelihoods that are being affected

59
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: by idiots that want to play play little games. And

60
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: it's not it's not games, it's it's people's as I

61
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: just said, people's livelihoods, et cetera, and stuff like that.

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: And I believe listening this morning, what's the one on

63
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: the Breakfast show?

64
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: Oh Sarah who's on Breakfast?

65
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: Yep?

66
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: She was. She was absolutely fantastic this morning. She gave

67
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: Darwin an absolute caning as opposed to Katherine, who the

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: people down here have been absolutely fantastic. Yeah, absolutely fantastic

69
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: of doing the right thing. She said, what's wrong with

70
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: you guys in Darwin? Do you think you're better that

71
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: we're not better than everybody else? Start doing what everyone

72
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: else has to do well.

73
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: And this is the thing. We all have to look

74
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: out for each other. We've all got to make sure

75
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: that we're doing the right thing.

76
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and not just the territory, I mean, it's all

77
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: of Australia. And it's been so disappointing to see the

78
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: Australian way. You just fall apart, you know, like, oh,

79
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: they've got nothing to do with us. They're not part

80
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: of Australia. We are New South Wales was part of Australia.

81
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: Territory is part of Australia, West Australia, Victoria, et cetera,

82
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. And we've just segregated ourselves and

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: everyone's saying, oh, we're not part of Australia. But it's

84
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: just weird. The Australian way of helping each other out

85
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: has just gone out the window.

86
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you're right?

87
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: You know, we've got to all be looking out for

88
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: each other. We've got to be looking after each other.

89
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: We're all fellow Aussies.

90
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: Chris, can you keep us up to date mate with

91
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: what happens with your boss.

92
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will do that.

93
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'd really appreciate it. Yeah, thank you. I really

94
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: appreciate you having a chat with us this morning.

95
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks, good on you, Chris,
