1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Joining me in the studio is the Lord Mayor of

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Darwin convat Scarlets.

3
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Good morning to you, called morning.

4
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 3: Kid, and I know what you're going to ask for.

5
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 2: Me, con do you want to do my job? I've

6
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: done it before, I know, a long time ago. Hey,

7
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: what did you think?

8
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: The Police Minister obviously confirming that she certainly made it

9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: very clear to the police commissioner that she wants to

10
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: see more boots on the ground, more of that community

11
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: policing con It's something you've been talking about for a

12
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: while now.

13
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: Well not only that, but I'm very pleased that the

14
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: Minister came to this conclusion. It's when you meet with

15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: seventeen council's presidents and mayors that tell you exactly the

16
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 3: same story. We need more police president with more police action.

17
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: And I think she heard the message very loud and clear,

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: and not to play politics here. When your primary vote

19
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: goes down in the by election, you realize that you're

20
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: probably in political trouble and you have to react. And

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 3: I give CREDITU Kate, thank you for doing that. You

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: need more police on the ground. We've got sixteen hundred

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: policemen and I always ask where are they? And I

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: understand that a people who actually spend a lot of

25
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: time with COVID nineteen and they have to take their live.

26
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: But if I was, if I was the police commissioner,

27
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 3: I would say, right, you got two months to clean

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: up Darwin completely from the riff ruff and then you

29
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: can take as much leave as you like. They've done

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 3: that in Melbourne with the cleaning up the med center

31
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 3: of Melbourne, establishing the bars and coffee shops and the langways.

32
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: It can be done here. But again I'm really repleaced

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 3: to happen and I'm waiting to see the action. And

34
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: I have to say that the past few days, Kate,

35
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: I've seen police in segues and we need more police

36
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: on the ground, simple as that.

37
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

38
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Well, and it does sound as though it is certainly

39
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: high on the agenda for the Police Minister based on

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: that conversation this morning. I mean they're going it's by

41
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: the sounds of it, there's a full review, a full

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: financial review, a full restructure is not off the table,

43
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: is what she'd said to us this morning. So look,

44
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting times, There's no doubt about it.

45
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: On interesting times always for you guys.

46
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: But the water is by election over the weekend. We

47
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: know you've got a new counselor coming in.

48
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: I've got a new council king for our long term

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: territorial and not king. For the past thirty years. She

50
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: worked as a real estate agent. She used to have

51
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: the lucky story Nightcliff. Then now she works for Kotta.

52
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 3: A new pair of eyes, new brains, new ideas. Welcome abroad, Kim.

53
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: The only thing to disappointment was a very low turnover.

54
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 3: Once again, we've seen forty eight point three percent voting,

55
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 3: less than fifty percent. The only problem is that all

56
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: the rest I didn't vote probably will be the largest

57
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: to complain about things not happening.

58
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: Well, we always say no when when if you don't vote,

59
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to come.

60
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: Out wins And we see that one also in the

61
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: Funny Bay by election. I mean, guys, we live in

62
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: a democracy. If you want to have a good government,

63
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: go and vote. It only takes about an hour of

64
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: your life.

65
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: You can do the shopping later.

66
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Now, con we also know that there's been some discussion

67
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: about the parat markets and whether there could be some

68
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: change to the parat markets in two more grain space.

69
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: What do you think I mean is this going to happen.

70
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: What's the council idea.

71
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: I've seen the plans. The only snag is twelve and

72
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 3: a half million dollars then it required to do it.

73
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: Do they need that from the government or the council.

74
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: Well, they need that from the government the council that

75
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: I put now the kat among the pigeon. How about

76
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: the perrupt people that they operate in the markets and

77
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: they make money to the markets. Come to the party

78
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: and say we will put a levy in every person

79
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: who has a permit there to collect some money so

80
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: we can contribute to the to the market restructure. That

81
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: will probably enticice the government and the councilor to say, well,

82
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: if you're going to do that one, we will come

83
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: to the party. Admittedly, as Nevil Pandaji said, can be

84
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: done all at once, it has to be staged. And

85
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: I'm all here to hear what happens. Michael goes to

86
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: the government and the nearly elected member. That's your constitut mate,

87
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: if you want to be elected, you better start talking

88
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 3: to the people in the fifth floor to cover up

89
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: some money, because let's call it political survival. I've been there.

90
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: Yes, well we are going to catch up with Neville

91
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: as well a little bit later on the show this morning.

92
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: So I really came to hear from.

93
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: Here and I say that to one publicly, I have

94
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 3: no problem to actually start going to close that lane

95
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: where you're talking about about closing the traffic through the market.

96
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: Just get together with all the shop owners, get me

97
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 3: a paper that says we want to do it, or

98
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: at least we can close it on the weekends rather

99
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: for the whole period. Help to start put more tables

100
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 3: and chairs and umbrellas. The bitchmin that there has no

101
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: cars now that increased the amenity of the market.

102
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Well, we'll talk more about that with Neville corn. I've

103
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: had a message come through about the velodrome. How is

104
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: it progressing? This person says that there's some issues with

105
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: the resurfacing.

106
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: No, there's no a issue that's surfacing. The only issue

107
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: we had believed or not we could find enough adult

108
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: trees or mature trees to put. Now we have twenty

109
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: two trees. And in the next few days we're spraying

110
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: the grass on the velodrome because you know it's got angles,

111
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 3: so we have to spray. And development will be very

112
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: very soon. Given to the sports community to use it.

113
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: So no concerns is this person said, I believe that

114
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: there was something that I was struggling to find someone

115
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: with the skills and equipment to seal the road surface

116
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: at a state angle.

117
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: It's done.

118
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: It's just there. Okay.

119
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: Actually, as a matter of fact, the engineering studi of

120
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 3: the university used it as an exercise.

121
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: When's it become operational?

122
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: Well, when we put the grass on, the grass started

123
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: the sublage, then we become operational.

124
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: Match else on the agenda that we should know about

125
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: this morning.

126
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: You want trees, I can give you. If anybody wants

127
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: a tree. The next giveaway will be the seventh of

Speaker 3: a half thousand trees. We give fourteen hundred trees. Last

130
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,320

131
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: turned up, got the trees, planned the yard. Every tree

132
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: you plan makes the place greener. Last year we gave

Speaker 3: And we re establishing the tree committee again. Have a

00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: look what we did the past, how successful it was.

00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 3: Can would do better. So we're going to have everything

138
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,320
