1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Just on the topic of the flyovers. I'm really pleased

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: to say that joining me on the line at the

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: moment is the senior Australian of the Year for the

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Northern Territory. Michael Foley. Am good morning to you. Michael.

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Good morning Katie. How are you?

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: I am very good, so good hearing from you this morning.

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: Now you want to have a chat about the flyover?

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah I do. I'm absolutely gobbed back. I you know,

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: I drove into this town forty eight years ago just

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: to have a look, and I'm still looking. I love

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: this place. I've loved it like I've never loved anywhere

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: else in the world. And I cannot understand or believe

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: that people have to grizzle and complain about a process,

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: for instance, that is providing the opportunity for our troops,

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: our men and women, to be right up with the

16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: game of protecting us, or not the game, the business

17
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: of protecting us. This world is getting worse every day.

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: Just look at the news that we get of countries

19
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 2: that are being bombarded and people that have been killed

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: every minute of our day. For couldn't the sake Territorians

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: find a bit of love here here.

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: Michael Foley, I agree with you, and I just think,

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: you know, to me when I see those jets fly over,

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: And maybe not everybody agrees with this, but I think,

25
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: aren't we lucky to live in a country where our

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: defense force is able to put on a display like

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: that for the community to understand what they do a

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: little bit better.

29
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly. You couldn't express it any better. It's one

30
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: of these things that I suppose democracy provides. And let's

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: see the differences of opinion. But whilst there is one thing,

32
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: look at the reality of this. There's so much happening

33
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: in the world in terms of war and death. It's sickening.

34
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: And here we are with our wonderful men and women

35
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 2: who are giving up, in a sense, their livelihoods to

36
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: protect us. And here we are having to put up

37
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: with people who call and saying, I can't think this

38
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: is very like a gun's me. You know. It goes

39
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: on and on and on. For goodness, Territorians, grow up.

40
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: This is the best place in the world. If you

41
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 2: don't like it, there's a road that leads out of it.

42
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, good call, Michael Foley. Thank you so much for

43
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: ringing in this morning. Mate. I really appreciate it and

44
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: lovely to hear from you.

45
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Thank you, Katie, and you and the rest of territoriums

46
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: to love this place. Have a wonderful day, you two.

47
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: Good on your Michael
