Speaker 2: morning from the Darwin Waterfront for one of the very

6
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: popular driver signing sessions. Plenty of people starting to roll

00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: in now and there's lots happening down here today. From

00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: So make sure you get down here early, avoid the.

13
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: Lines or get to the front of the line when

14
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 2: that all starts to happen. But earlier in the week

15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: we know the federal government they have announced that they've

16
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: co designed with the Northern Territory Land Councils a package

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: of reforms to the Aboriginal Land Rights Act. It is

18
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: all in an effort to activate the potential of Indigenous

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: land in the Northern Territory now. The centerpiece of the

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: reforms is a new Aboriginal Control Corporate Commonwealth entity. It's

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: funded from the Aboriginal's benefit to count well to decide

22
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: on and administer grants and investments in the Northern Territory.

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: And joining me here at the waterfront to talk about

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: this and what it's going to mean for the NT

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: is the incoming Deputy CEO of the Northern Land Council,

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: Joe Martin Jard.

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Good morning to you.

28
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: Joe.

00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 3: It's good morning and thanks for having me.

30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, great to have you on the show and welcome.

31
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: Obviously first time with us this morning. We'll get you

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: back on no doubt. Look really good to be here now,

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: Joe Fursley. The federal government obviously an outsease reforms with

34
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: the land councils in an effort really to activate the

35
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,279
Speaker 2: potential of indigenous land.

36
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: What are these changes going to mean for the territory.

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: What it'll mean is Aboriginal people will be back in

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 4: control of the resources coming from their land. Sammy Bush,

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: BLNAZI chairman said it well on the weekend. He said,

40
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 4: this is about the future of children and grandchildren and

41
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: supporting jobs and cultural maintenance on country and yeah, we're

42
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 4: really excited by this.

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: We talk a lot in the territory about the opportunities

44
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: and the different opportunities that we'd like to see for

45
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: Indigenous people in community. I mean, is this going to

46
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: help do you reckon to make that happen?

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely, it'll speed things up too.

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: We're hearing of delays of two years to get anything

49
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 4: happening through the ABA at the moment, and the.

50
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: Acts really old.

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 4: It was past when Malcolm Fraser was the Prime Minister,

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 4: believe it or not. Yeah, it hasn't really changed that

53
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: much since. So we've been working with the federal government

54
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 4: over the last three years and both agreed to these

55
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: reforms that we've asked for, and so we think that

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 4: things will speed up and we can get more happening

57
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: out in the remote areas where it's really needed.

58
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 2: Yeah.

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: Three years, Jee, it's a long time coming by the

60
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: sounds of it.

61
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, you know what it's like working with bureaucrats

62
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: in Canberra. You know, things don't happen overnight, that's it.

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: But you know, it is all about really, you know,

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: in community and on Aboriginal land, providing opportunity for Aboriginal people.

65
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: You know, our young kids coming up.

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: Through through their education and through those formative years and

67
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: then up to the teenage years, having the opportunity for

68
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: employment and for jobs.

69
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

70
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 4: Look, I've just come up from Alice SPRINGSOS, a CEO

71
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: of the Central Land Council down there for a couple

72
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: of years and marrying Scrimdaw, the CEO. She's had me

73
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: out and about out places like Tennant Creek and count

74
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: Are and everywhere else, and everywhere I go, traditional owners

75
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 4: are talking about the future for their kids and wanting

76
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: to do more on country. When Blake said, you know,

77
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 4: we won our fight for land rights and now what

78
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: are we going to do about it?

79
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: So I was quite excited by that.

80
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Do you reckon?

81
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: We'll see you know in some of our communities, and

82
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: I know it probably is the place, or is the

83
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: case in some to some degree, but you know, places

84
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: like mad and Greta that are big communities, could there

85
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: be more opportunity for more happening in terms of business.

86
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 4: Absolutely. If you go to man and Greeted, there's a

87
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 4: couple of thousand people live there. It's a big town

88
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 4: and like the fishing opportunities are just phenomenal. There's already

89
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 4: a fishing business there now they've got coastal licenses. So

90
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: we're hoping to invest more into that space and get

91
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 4: it more commercialized, more jobs, more income for the Northern Territory.

92
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: And we think this tide will lift all boats. Actually

93
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 4: it's not just about Aboriginal people, It'll be about the

94
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: whole of the Northern Territory.

95
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and working, I guess together collaboratively to try and

96
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 2: create more opportunity for everyone.

97
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, we want co investment coming from in the private sector.

98
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 4: We're talking to the Seafeed Council for instance. They're really positive.

99
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 4: So yeah, we'll all be partnering up over the.

100
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: Years to come.

101
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Joe, how do the changes sort of differ

102
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: from the old system?

103
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: Why do you reckon? It's you know, why do you

104
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: reckon it will make such a difference.

105
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: It'll be just less bureaucratic.

106
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 4: We as I said, the system was designed you hear

107
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 4: those smell petrol. Yeah, but anyway, Yeah, look, it was

108
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: designed for another era and now it's being modernized and

109
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 4: we're really yeah, we're.

110
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: Just excited to be a part of the future.

111
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: No, I reckon, it sounds like it's going to be

112
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: a really good thing, and I hope it is, particularly

113
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: for us here in the territory, you know, for the

114
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 2: whole Northern Territory. And for the opportunities for Indigenous people

115
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: living on land.

116
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,440
