Speaker 1: you in contact with us this morning, and we did

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: have a message earlier today from one of our listeners

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: saying that they weren't able to book online for the

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: COVID JAB Now we have just received a phone call

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: from the Minister's office letting us know that you can

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: now book with Danilla Dilberg as I understand it on

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: that online booking system, so it does seem as though

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: there are still some spots available. But we have also

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: had a message from another listener saying, Katie, I just

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: left the hospital at the COVID Vaccine Center, they're booked

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: out until the end of July and they're also looking

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: for a larger facility to do the vaccinations. That is

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: what the staff had told them out there. Also got

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: an email from Peter three sixty at Mix one O

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: four nine dot com dot au Bradley brought to you

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: by Keira's nt the three sixty in box and it

19
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: says hi again Katie went to visit a friend in

20
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: RDH yesterday and as usual, the staff are doing a

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: great job and in good humor. The current problems there

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: are not caused by the staff spot on, Peter, they

23
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: do a wonderful job. And well, speaking of people doing

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: a wonderful job, our Northern Territory Police are incredibly busy,

25
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: there is no doubt about that. And joining us on

26
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: the line right now, Anti Police Senior Sergeant John Ganaine,

27
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: good morning to you, John.

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: Good morning Katy. Thanks for having me.

29
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for joining us. Now. I know John that

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: the Territory Police quite disappointed over the weekend with the

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: behavior of motorists on territory roads.

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: Well, we had a lot of motoring activity across the

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: roads all through the NT over the weekend, Katie, and

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 2: most we're generally well behaved. However, it must be said

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: that the people that did play up more than made

36
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: up for it.

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. So one hundred infringement notices to drivers for various offenses.

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: What kind of offenses are we talking?

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: Well, we had one hundred and eleven infringement notices solely

40
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: in the Greater Darwinie over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, mostly

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: in the evening. Eighty five of thoys were for speeding

42
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: to various degrees and the rest of it was this

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: mattering of not wearing seat belts, using your mobile phones,

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: all the things that are involved with the fatal five

45
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: that we try and reinforce whenever we can. And given

46
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: some of the behavior of the motorists on the roads,

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: particularly in Tiger Breann and Drive McMillan's road, we are

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: very lucky that we were dealing with another loss of life.

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know some of this stuff is just

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: such common sense, well all of it really, but you know,

51
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: not putting your seat belt on, I just don't understand it.

52
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's a very basic thing to do. And seat

53
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: belts only became only became fitted to cars around about

54
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy. And I think in Victoria before seat belts

55
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: came in, the road toll in nineteen sixty nine, I

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: think it was in nineteen seventy was over a thousand

57
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: for twelve for a twelve month period. And there's just

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: no doubt that wearing a seatbelt in the event that

59
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: something goes wrong will save your life. It just will.

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: And John, I know that's on Friday night you actually

61
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: had to impound a motorcycle.

62
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: What happened, Well, on Friday night, a young young fellow

63
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: decided to perform a wheel stand up and down McMillan's

64
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: raid on Friday night. It was seen by the public,

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 2: seen by the police. The young gentleman involved clearly didn't

66
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: see us, but we saw him. So that was the

67
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: end of that young fellow. He got a ticket for HENI,

68
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: He got a thousand dollar fine and his motorbike was

69
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: impounded as well.

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: And these people, there's a lot of people by the

71
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: look of it, driving at incredibly high speeds. A thirty

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: three year old clocked doing one hundred and fifty two

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: kilometers an hour in one hundred zone.

74
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: Yes, we had that one, Cody. We had another young

75
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: fellow way seven year older believe, doing one hundred and

76
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: forty five in an eighty zone down in the rural area.

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: And we had two sets of drag races within half

78
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: an hour of each other on Tiger Brendon Drive and

79
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: they were clocked at one hundred and forty four and

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty six kilometers an hour.

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: So, John, are you talking about people like they're actually

82
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: racing each other on the road.

83
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 2: Yes, we are. We are definitely talking about that. And

84
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: make no mistake, these people are endangering the lives of

85
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: themselves and the lives of other people. And if they

86
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: expect the police to have any sense of humor about

87
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: this sort of thing, they're going to be sorely mistaken

88
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: because they're going to have a date with a magistrate,

89
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: They're going to have their car impounded, and it's going

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: to be very expensive, And at the end of the day,

91
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: people will realize that they do not, in fact have

92
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: what I think is referred to as mad skills.

93
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, they certainly don't have mad skills. They sound like

94
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: I can think of more colorful work, but let's just

95
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: say idiots. I mean, at the end of the day,

96
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: like you said, they are putting the lives of innocent

97
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: people at risk on the roads in some of these locations.

98
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about places where families could be

99
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: driving at the same time, even people in their vehicles

100
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: on their own. But everybody deserves to be able to

101
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: use the road in a safe manner and should not

102
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: have to worry about idiots behaving like this.

103
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: Well, Peter Brock East. When Peter Brock was around, he

104
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: used to give safety lectures to primary school kids. And

105
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: I know this because I was one of those kids, yep,

106
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: And I remember him saying to this day that a

107
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 2: racetrack is much safer than driving on a highway because

108
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: all the cars are going in the same direction. Now,

109
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: I understand the concept of people having fun in the

110
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: cars and doing this and just doing things in their

111
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: cars because their cars will let them, and all that

112
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. But what these people fail to comprehend

113
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: is that they are endangering other people. And if they

114
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: if they only need one small thing to go wrong,

115
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: because they are not great drivers. Because if they were

116
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 2: great drivers, they'd be driving this weekend at Hidden Valley.

117
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: But they're not. So they're not great drivers. And the

118
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: smallest misstep means that the police will be knocking on

119
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: someone's door over the weekend to inform someone's mother, father, brother,

120
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: sister that their relative has died in a preventable traffic collision.

121
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing, you know, We want to

122
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: keep everybody on the road safe. John, you mentioned the

123
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: supercars and Hidden Valley on the weekend. Will there be

124
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: additional additional police presence on our roads if anybody does

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: try to get out and drive like a race car driver,

126
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,119
Speaker 1: well there will be, Katie.

127
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: There's already a significant police operation just for the precinct

128
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 2: around the sports complex of Hidden Valley. The traffic Police,

129
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: marked and unmarked cars will be out and about. You

130
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: might see some, you won't see all of them, but

131
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: rest assured if you act up, you are very likely

132
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: to be seen, particularly after the activity of last weekend.

133
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: Well, John gana Northern Territory Police Senior Sergeant, we really

134
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: appreciate your time today. Thanks so very much for having

135
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: a chat with us.

136
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: Thanks again, Katie, thank you
