We had one hundred 19 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 4: stuff going through the training of last week about cycle 20 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 4: of preparedness because if something goes wrong, we have to 21 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 4: be able to respond very very quickly, either with the 22 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 4: removing trees or helping essential services if damage has occurred. 23 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 4: So we are fully prepare and for it to deploy 24 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 4: people and having our activation center ready to in case 25 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 4: of a cyclone. So let's we're with you in that one. 26 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 4: We live in the same city. If something going to 27 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 4: happen affects you, it will affect us well. 28 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: And I guess you know the city of Darwin knows 29 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: all too well. Also after a few years back where 30 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: we had all the trees go down, we had such 31 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: you know, there was so much damage. 32 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: We've all got to be prepared. It doesn't matter whether 33 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: you're a big organization. 34 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 4: To you before we replaced twice as many and we 35 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 4: keep putting trees out all the time. Look, when the 36 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 4: cyclon comes, it can. Actually the good thing is because 37 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 4: our buildings now built in new standards, we stand a cyclone. 38 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 4: But again it's the rain, the water, if a tree 39 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 4: falls on your roof or on your yard or anything else. 40 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 4: But the important thing is day safe and be prepared. 41 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: Con Now, I want to ask what was your reaction 42 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: to the federal budget over eights. Is there much in 43 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: the federal budget from the council's perspective, We know there's 44 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: a massive infrastructure spen in the Northern Territory two point 45 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: five billion. Much from council's perspective. 46 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 4: The reality is if money are invested in the territory 47 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 4: is going to affect positively the economy, it going to 48 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 4: be wrong. 49 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 3: More people and all these things will affect council. 50 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 4: We have to be prepared to deliver service to more people, 51 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 4: from the swimming pools to libraries to the removal of rubbish. 52 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 4: It's good news to hear so much money spending the territory. 53 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 4: Suddenly camera realized that the territory is very important with 54 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 4: regards to defense and then investing in our defense capabilities. 55 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 4: We're looking out to see where the money for our 56 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 4: swimming pool are because there's a lot of buckets and 57 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: trying to unravel where money are. It's a nightmare and 58 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 4: eventually would take about two to three weeks before we 59 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 4: find out if we got Sammy or not. I expect 60 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 4: we'll get something, after all, the Minister of the current 61 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 4: government announcement in Casarina promise seven and a half million dollars. 62 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 4: I think it will be very very unwise. All of 63 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 4: a sudden the manager disappear. But again, let's wait, it's 64 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 4: only the what not even twenty four hours in CNAs. 65 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 4: It was an interesting budget because you have to remember 66 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 4: we came from a very very bad situation COVID nineteen 67 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 4: and of course the situation in Ukraine now and the 68 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: pressures in the banking system. And talk about recession in America, 69 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: it doesn't sound very good. Hopefully we'll not have a 70 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 4: recession in Australia. 71 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 72 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: Well, and it's always hard, I think when the budget 73 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: is delivered all when it is handed down, it sort 74 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: of takes a little bit of time for us to 75 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: go through everything, make sure we can see exactly which 76 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: buckets of funding can potentially be utilized here in the 77 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: Northern Territory, et cetera, et cetera. 78 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 4: An interesting thing is because this budget is actually putting 79 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 4: in place now, just a few weeks before the Victorian 80 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 4: election happened. Now the interesting thing talk about electricity. But 81 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 4: what I'm noticed, first time ever a political leader make 82 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: a very good statement that he's going to restate the 83 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 4: State Electricity Commission, so that means bring back the electricity 84 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 4: production under the state authority, which we privatize a lot 85 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: and see what the result does we pay through the nose. 86 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 3: It might be a good idea, but. 87 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: For us here in the Northern Territory, obviously it's a 88 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: different scenario. Because Power and Water is the government Orange corporate. 89 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 3: Thank god for that. 90 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 4: And the good thing is I have to tell you 91 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 4: that as a minister, I refuse to allow to become 92 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 4: the part of what has become part of the national 93 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 4: network because I knew what was going to happen. We're 94 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: going to follow the national trends. That means you're paying 95 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 4: twice as much as you pay now for electricity. 96 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,679 Speaker 2: Come, we will move along. 97 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: I know there's some issues earlier in the week with 98 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: waste collection. Have they now been rectified? 99 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, things happen. There's breakdown on equipment and facilities. The 100 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 4: moment we've become aware of it because regis ring Us 101 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 4: or their local elected member, we straight away organized for 102 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 4: a rubbish recovery. It is unfortunate and we apologize for 103 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 4: that one again. Cars breakdown and if it happens again, 104 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 4: please the thing to do is ring counsel straight away 105 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 4: and we're organized, pick up the live and removal. 106 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: A call just come through from Marion wants to ask 107 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: you what's happening with the bus stop at Woolly's Darwin City, 108 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: saying that there's fighting every day about forty people there 109 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: last night with anti social behavior going on with police 110 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: and security constantly having to take people away. She says 111 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: it's only happening because of the bus stop. 112 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 3: I know, Marian and very well. 113 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 4: We counsel actually told the territory government that was not 114 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 4: the right idea, not the right place. Unfortunately, territory government 115 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 4: makes a decision where the bus. 116 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: Stops will go. 117 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 4: Probably I don't know where you live, but there might 118 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 4: be a good idea to approach your local member and 119 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 4: blust him or blast her about it. Hopefully they might 120 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 4: listen to you and might have some influence to do 121 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 4: something better there. 122 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 2: So you reckon, they don't want to move that bus stop, Well. 123 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 3: They reckon. Actually is a very central bus stop that 124 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 3: serves a lot of people. 125 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 4: But me living in the city, driving from there every day, 126 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 4: I always see police or the transport officers, or fights 127 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 4: or a lot of. 128 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: People just hanging around. 129 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: I might be a better idea to put somewhere else, 130 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 4: or split them up and move them somewhere else. 131 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: Now I've had somebody else get in contact with us. 132 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 2: I have sent a screen. 133 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: Well, I've sent a photo of somebody who is a 134 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: big in the city but also intimidating others. 135 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: I think that he's quite a regular person in the city. 136 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: He's gone into one location today, as I understand it, 137 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: you know, basically asking for money inside a shop, but 138 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: also getting more bold, this person says with his actions 139 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: and a bit more aggressive. 140 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: I think if the person is aggressive, the best thing 141 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 4: to do is call the police straight away. 142 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 3: Begging it's an offense. 143 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: The problem we've got is people who are begging, they 144 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 4: don't hit no fix address. In most cases, they don't 145 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: even have an idea with them. Trying to actually put 146 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 4: it certifying to somebody we don't know who they are 147 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 4: and where they live, it's nearly impossible because the only 148 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 4: thing we do is write a piece of paper and 149 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 4: that's it. But again, if the people are aggressive, please 150 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 4: do call the police. 151 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 3: This is the thing. 152 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 2: Well, are you allowed to actually beg on the straight? 153 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: I mean, is it something that's allowed. I didn't think 154 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: that it was so. I thought there was legislation says 155 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: that you can't. 156 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: Yes, you might not do it. 157 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 4: But trying to get us before a person of no 158 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: fix addressed a no fixed name, it's virtually impossible. I mean, 159 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 4: we can issue find to throw the pages of paper away. 160 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 4: There's nothing we can do about it. So the important thing, 161 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 4: and that's what I'm saying is if you see a 162 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 4: social behavior ring the police, don't think that, oh well, 163 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 4: it happens all the time. The reality is if you 164 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: don't ring, it's one less care for the police. And 165 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 4: if there are too many people not ringing policys, there's 166 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: no problem. 167 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: Do you think that there should maybe be and this 168 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: is a question from that listener, should there be a 169 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: bit of a blitz through the city to you know, 170 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: when you've got this kind of behavior. 171 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 4: When the segues are in the city, there's not a 172 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 4: disocial behavior behavior happening. That's as always said. Bring the 173 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: police patrols in the city for the same reason, not 174 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: because they're going to solve all problems in the world, 175 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 4: but it's going to actually stop the stubid people doing 176 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 4: stupid things, and that includes everybody. 177 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: Is it just a police issue though? I mean, should 178 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: there be more more of the council ranges and people 179 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,679 Speaker 1: like that patrol?
