1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: We've spoken before on the show well over the last

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: few months about the Stand. Now it is part of

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: the campaign, the No More campaign, which was launched a

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: long time ago by Charlie King. But then we've seen

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: the STAND launched just a few months ago and the

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: aim was to get ninety domestic and family violence action

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: plans honoring the more than ninety women who've lost their

8
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: lives to domestic and family violence in the Northern Territory

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: since two thousand.

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: Now joining us on the show is.

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: Norell Gostre, Catholic Care NTS Violence Prevention Manager.

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, NoREL.

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: Morning Katie. How are you on fine Friday?

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: Oh? I love a Friday, NoREL. It's always nice to

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: know you got the.

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: Weekend ahead of you, isn't it?

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: Now, Therell's some good news I know that you guys.

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: Obviously, you and I have spoken on a few occasions

20
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: about the Stand. You launched it a few months ago

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: and it really called on workplaces, sporting clubs, community groups,

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: businesses to take practical steps to end violence. Now, tell

23
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: me how have things gone over the last ninety days.

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: It's been amazing, Katie. Obviously, when we set our target

25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 3: of ninety domestic violence action plans. We were thinking it

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: was really aspirational and hoping that we were going to

27
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: get to that figure. And the exciting thing is that

28
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 3: Tuesday was day ninety and still a few trickling through,

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: but we've hit one hundred and five, so absolutely smashed

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 3: our target.

31
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: That is awesome.

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm so pleased to hear that one hundred and five.

33
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: So their businesses, their government departments, the different NGOs, non

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: government organizations, are you able to tell us about any

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: of them?

36
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely, So You're right, there's we've reached out into

37
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: much more diverse organizations. Historically No More has really focused

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: on sporting sporting organizations, but you know it's hard to

39
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: pin out or call out one or two organizations. But

40
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: I think we've had a great relationship with n R

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 3: L and T over a long time, and you chattered

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: to Tony Crowe and through that connection, Tony's been a

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: big supporter. He brought Dad's Got into the fold and

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: Dad's Go have done their domestic Violon's action plan. We

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: had a morning tea with them last week. We shared

46
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: it with the staff and they've developed stickers and posters

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 3: for their for the around the office, their training staff

48
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: in how to recognize and respond to DV. So there

49
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: they're one of our really exciting stories. There's been a lot. Yeah,

50
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 3: it's really really good and we're being really happy that

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: a lot of businesses have come on board. It is

52
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: the first time we've sort of gone into that space.

53
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: So they're one. Ozzie Pooch is another. We've had two

54
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: or three. We've had Mad about Coffee and Trader and

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: Alli have been putting stickers on their coffee cups. Yeah,

56
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: and they're still coming through. Traffic Works has done a

57
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: fantastic one and they're all available to have a look

58
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: at on our website, which is the stand dot org

59
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: dot au. So nearly all of the organizations have given

60
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 3: us permission to share them publicly, so anybody can go

61
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: on and have a look at them.

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Norell, what I love is as you're reading those business

63
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: lanes out like a lot of those businesses we work

64
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: with here at MIX, A lot of them I know

65
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: as well. Have you know wonderful wonderful men and women

66
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: that work for their organizations, but wonderful blokes that work

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: for those businesses, And I just think it's fantastic to

68
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: see them sort of standing up and going, hey, we

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: want to be part of this, and you know, for

70
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: all like for all of those businesses.

71
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. And the thing what's really exciting, so not

72
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: just one hundred and five devaps that have come in,

73
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: but within those, there's over I'm still counting there's over

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: six hundred in individual actions of things that organizations are

75
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: planning to do. And I'm already hearing stories of completed actions.

76
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 3: So nap caan who are an organization who does support

77
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: for child abuse and neglect. They've included recognizing domestic and

78
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: family violence survivors in their acknowledgment of country and or

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: not in there with their commencement of meetings, and they're

80
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: doing things like that. So ari I n T is

81
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 3: another one. I'm just trying to think of who I

82
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: should be able to give a shout out to. But

83
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: it's amazing, And this is not the end. It's the

84
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 3: end of this particular part, but it's the start of

85
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: all these actions that are going to be coming to

86
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 3: fruition over the next twelve months or so.

87
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: And no rel I mean, you know, obviously I think

88
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: of these very often in the sense that you know,

89
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: it's great for them to have those action plans in

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: place in terms of, you know, demonstrating that they're taking

91
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: stand against domestic violence.

92
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: But I would imagine it's also really.

93
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: Important for those businesses that you know, if they've got

94
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: victims of domestic violence as well that work with them,

95
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: that you know that they understand that they're supported as well.

96
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and that's one of the ones that we've been

97
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: encouraging a lot of organizations and have taken up is

98
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: being able to know that their staff can recognize and

99
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: respond and refer when people are impacted by violence, but

100
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 3: also that their staff know that they can access domestic

101
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: family violence leave, so a that they know that they

102
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: can access it, be they know how to access it,

103
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: and see they feel comfortable in their safe and supportive

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: workplace to say hey, I need to take this leave

105
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: m now.

106
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think this demonstrates as well

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: to the broader community, the fact that you've had so

108
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: far and it sounds like you might have more one

109
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: hundred and five already sign on, you know, to take

110
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 1: the stand. What do you think it's a small broadly

111
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: about our community. Oh.

112
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: I think firstly, it says that people want to make

113
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: a difference. And I think secondly, it's actually it's giving

114
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 3: people the opportunity to work out what they can do

115
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: individually and as an organization, because we've found even though

116
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: in the past people are like, yeah, we don't think

117
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: this is a good thing. People were unsure about what

118
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: they could do and the resources and everything that we've provided,

119
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: and people have been they've either used some of the

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: ones that we've suggested, or as I was saying before,

121
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 3: some of them have come up with their own that

122
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: are just you know, we would never have thought of.

123
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: And that's community led power. That means, yeah, we've engaged

124
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: and they're empowered and they're going out and doing it

125
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: for themselves.

126
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: All good stuff.

127
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: Well, Norelle, it's been great to speak to you, and

128
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: I'm so pleased to hear that the community has come

129
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: on board in the way that I know we'd hoped,

130
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, from that first time that you and I

131
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: spoke about the stand. So I think it's a really

132
00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: great thing to.

133
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: Say thank you. And can I just throw in if

134
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: somebody hasn't so two things. If somebody hasn't done a

135
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 3: domestic valence action plan already and they're interested, we are

136
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: still going. We will accept them all year round and

137
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 3: we can provide support. You can go on to the
