Speaker 1: morse them here?

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,320

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 4: at twenty one, you don't have a heart. If you're

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 4: still one at thirty, you don't have a brain.

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: You've never heard that.

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,240

Speaker 4: the early age.

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what I thought of both of

32
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: you blogs on Friday afternoon when I'd heard that Gladys

33
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: spur of Jicklt had resigned.

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: Obviously, and we do know that Dominic Perrete.

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Is going to be sworn in as the New South

36
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Wales Premier after being elected Leader of the New South Wales.

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: Liberals this morning.

38
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: He defeated the Planning Minister Rob Stokes in a party

39
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: room ballot thirty nine votes to Stewart has been elected

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: unopposed as Deputy leader. The former Treasurer is going to

41
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: become the state's youngest ever premier at thirty nine years old,

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: and takes the reins obviously from Gladys Burre rigically and

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: following her shock resignation on Friday. It's been an interesting

44
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: few days, hasn't it for New South Wales.

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 5: It is the forty sixth premier.

46
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: You wouldn't go and get a house loan on the

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 3: on the fact that you've just become premier of New

48
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: South Wales.

49
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 5: They go through a few they have.

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I've known Mike been As as a treasurer.

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: I've known Gladys Beerygiclian as a treasurer, and I've known

52
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 4: Dominic Perrete as the treasurer. And they're all treasurers in

53
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 4: my time. Yeah right, It's been a while since I've

54
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 4: been treasurer.

55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 5: They all work with Dave and.

56
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: Gone through the ranks.

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 5: We've gone.

58
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: It's interesting though, isn't it. Obviously with the you know,

59
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: with this IK investigation. So Gladys is you know, she

60
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: stood down because she is going to be the subject

61
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: of this KAK inquiry public hearings. I believe we are

62
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: going to kick off fairly soon and she just felt

63
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: as though, you know, I needed to give give clear

64
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: air in terms of whoever takes over with the you know,

65
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: in terms of juggling the COVID situation as well.

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: It's interesting stuff.

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: I know that she's not the only New South Wales

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: premiere to.

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: To have stood down.

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: With a line, you know, And it's interesting, you know,

71
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 4: at this point in time, everyone's talking about a federal ICAQ.

72
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 4: You know, we need a federal ICAC and you sit

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 4: there and you say, we'll have a look around the

74
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: States and see how well these i cacks are doing.

75
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 4: I mean in Queensland they've sort of been investigating themselves

76
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: for quite some time. Northern Territory course, the i CAQ

77
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: is investigating itself now, you know, and everywhere you look

78
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 4: there's just money being burnt, like there's no tomorrow on

79
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: lawyers and they actually don't produce much at all. I mean,

80
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: Harley's a great fan of the local one. I know.

81
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: I just think I think we might have got the

82
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: commissioner wrong at the stuff because I think the commissioner

83
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: policy the policy wrong. They got caught up in the

84
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 3: politics of the IKAK rather than looking at the stuff

85
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: that really I was interested in is you know, I

86
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 3: wanted to know where people have got ill gotten gains,

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: not blues between Terry Mills and.

88
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 5: Speaker or you know that stuff's irrelevant to me.

89
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: Or the private dealings of private life of members and

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: who people put in their offices when you're looking to

91
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: employ people that you can trust. They're not the issues

92
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: that I was thinking that the IKAK would uncover.

93
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: I gues Lattis's case at the moment in New South Wales.

94
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: You know we're talking about like we are talking about grants, aren't.

95
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: We, So you know, some money sort of you know, micrans.

96
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 4: To the boyfriend, Yeah, to the boyfriend's electric Yeah.

97
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: So Paul Barreling and then a whole other other element

98
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: of it when you when you then talk.

99
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: At she's been humiliated and resigned from the parliament barring

100
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: barrio'farrell was humiliated and resigned from the parliament at the

101
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: end of it all, and it'll be interesting to see,

102
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: you know, you can't preempt what will come out with

103
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 4: the Gladdys stuff. But the end of most of it,

104
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 4: there's never been many charges laid. I mean in the

105
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: Northern territory, you sort of look at all the cases

106
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 4: that we've had with our i Kaki. How many charges

107
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: have we seen laid. Everyone's running around saying everyone's corrupt,

108
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: But what are these? You know, the ikak actually doesn't

109
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: charge anyone. They pass their information onto the police who

110
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 4: do that. But you know, I think in New South Wales,

111
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 4: I've only cut picked up the Eddie Abaden, that other

112
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 4: joker who just we're going to be done by police anyhow.

113
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 4: And you sort of sit there and go, what value

114
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: as the IKAC actually added, apart from creating a whole

115
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 4: lot of hysteria, ungrounded hysteria.

116
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: I have to say, do you reckon that she should

117
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: have stood down Gladys shelf.

118
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, it's no admission of

119
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 4: guilt that she stood down and obviously.

120
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: Set the standard, didn't she? She said if you were

121
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: getting investigated.

122
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 4: Barrier Farrell probably set the standard when he stepped down

123
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 4: a bottle of wine. At clearing a bottle of wine.

124
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: How do you reckon?

125
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: Look, do you reckon things are going to change to

126
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: some degree or how do you think it's all going

127
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: to play out? Now? When you look at the way

128
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: New South Wales has been talking about opening the borders

129
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: and and some some different things in terms of the

130
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: COVID management, they've probably been sort of most well aligned

131
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: with the Prime Minister in terms of his plans moving forwards.

132
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: Any problems with Dominic Paraite line up with the Prime Minister.

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 4: He's a bit of an eating lockdown type of guy,

134
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: and you maybe doing everything he possibly can to avoid

135
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: for the lockdowns. And I think he's committed to the

136
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: to the path out of lockdowns that has previously been

137
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 4: set by Gladys and Scott Morrison.

138
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 5: With the IKAK.

139
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 3: Just on being an elected official myself, even though it's

140
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: at at the council level. You're just very mindful all

141
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: the time of the conversations you're having the people that

142
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: reach out and want to meet you, or they want

143
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: to talk to you about an issue that they've got

144
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: an opportunity, and anything around commercial stuff, anything around the

145
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: possibility of pitching to counsel or you know, looking to

146
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: get a commercial gain out of an interaction with counsel

147
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 3: or to discuss something along those lines. I'm just very

148
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 3: mindful of handballing it straight to our CEO because you

149
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: know nowadays because you've got the EYEKAK and back with

150
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: Dave and I were in politics before any of this,

151
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: and you'd quite regularly meet with businessmen or set up

152
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: an opportunity for people that had a great idea for

153
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: you know, to employ people in the territory and to

154
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: attract people to the territory and also make a financial

155
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: gain for themselves, and they'd approach you for assistance or

156
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: to be able to push it in the right direction

157
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: or champion a good cause for them. But nowadays you're

158
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: just very reluctant to be involved at all, and I

159
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: just point blank refused to meet with people and push

160
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: them to see.

161
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 4: My concern is that these politics involved in all of

162
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: these things all the time, you know, and they you know,

163
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 4: there's a political stand there, you know, coalition and mainly

164
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: not particularly supportive of IKS Labor and the Greens are

165
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: they love them, you know. So there's a policy differentiation

166
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: there now and that well there has been for some time.

167
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 4: And I just sort of think of my own circums.

168
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 4: You know. When we finished government up here, Labor put

169
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 4: in place there political Donations Inquiry, which was basically they

170
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 4: brought up just as Mansfield to hen all that you

171
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 4: might recall. It was, oh, we're going to root out

172
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: all this corruption that happened, you know with Foundation fifty

173
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 4: one and all of that sort of stuff. Now, that

174
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 4: inquiry took two years. And when you get the letter

175
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 4: in the mile, it says you've got a front up

176
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 4: and you're a suspect, and you know you've been a lead.

177
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what your heart ends up in your throat. Well,

178
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 4: you sit there and you think, what the body hell

179
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 4: you know, and then you go and give all your

180
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: evidence and you know, you work with that inquiry and

181
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 4: the end of it, they come out and they say, oh,

182
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: we couldn't find any any hint of corruption. But you know,

183
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 4: there clearly was a perception. And you go, well, and

184
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: you just sit there and you think a perception. Now,

185
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 4: who creates a perception. It certainly wasn't me that created

186
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: any perception. But there was a whole heap of police

187
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 4: players in there. Every time you that you approved a

188
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: pro check, everybody say, oh, you're in the pocket of

189
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 4: big business. He said, oh, there's got to be a

190
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: corruption inquiry, got to be corruption inquiry. And next thing

191
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: you know, there is a corruption inquiry and everyone says,

192
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: oh yeah, but there was this perception.

193
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: Well, and it's a tough one because obviously you've got

194
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: to make sure that the right thing is happening. We've

195
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: got to make sure that nothing, you know, nothing.

196
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 4: It's disgraceful, but you sit there and you look. I know,

197
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 4: you know, I get on a bit of social media

198
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 4: and that I see the comments that come out about

199
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: the federal ikak, Yeah, it's all about us. Gome has

200
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: got to go to jail, and and and Christian Porter's

201
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: got to go to jail. And Barnaby Joyce has got

202
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 4: to go to jail, and therefore we need an i CAAK,

203
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 4: you know, our federal IYICAC. Well, you sit there and

204
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 4: you think all these people have assumed that someone's guilty

205
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 4: before there's an't been any discussion whatsoever, and it's not

206
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: like there's not a lot of bodies out there already

207
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 4: doing this work. Well, we've got.

208
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what you know, we will move

209
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: along because there is plenty to discuss this morning. I'm

210
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: very keen to I know we've been talking at length

211
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks, and we spoke about

212
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: this briefly last week as well, about our health system

213
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 1: being under enormous stress.

214
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: At the moment.

215
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: We talked yesterday to the head of the AMA, doctor

216
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: Robert Parker, about the need to bring some workers across

217
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: from overseas for our health system, because we are in

218
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: a situation where we need more doctors, we need more

219
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: people working in the in the health system. We also

220
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: heard from Cath Hatcher last week that we're at that

221
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: crisis point that we need between fifty two one hundred

222
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: nurses coming across. We caught up with John Patterson from

223
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: Amsant just a little bit earlier this morning. He said

224
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: even out in our remotion regional communities right now that

225
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: we need more staff, more allied health workers, you.

226
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: Know, right now.

227
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: Though there doesn't seem to be a really clear plan. Obviously,

228
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 1: the Health Minister was on the show this morning and

229
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: wasn't pain to say.

230
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 4: The thing is, I don't think most people understand the

231
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 4: kom Walth is paying half for the health bill for

232
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 4: the COVID stuff right the states pick up the other half.

233
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 4: So this is basically new money that's coming into state

234
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 4: and territory governments right for as in how it spreads

235
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 4: that you know, all of the works that's happening in

236
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: the other states and that sort of stuff. The Commonwealth

237
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: is funding half the bill. Now, state government's got no

238
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 4: dramas at all spending that money. But at the end

239
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: of the day, they don't have people there to do

240
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 4: the work. And if you have a look, it's not

241
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 4: the Northern Territory that's just in health crisis everywhere. It's

242
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 4: around the country. And the reason being is because they've

243
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 4: gone crazy spending money on health and they've got no

244
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 4: professionals there to do the job.

245
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: But the issue we've.

246
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: Got at the moment, Like obviously out at Howard Springs

247
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: is one thing, but the issue we've got at the

248
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: moment is.

249
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: Our hospitals as well.

250
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: You know, out at the Palmerston Hospital, the emergency ward,

251
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: the Health Minister said this morning that it is back

252
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: at that twenty four bid operational capacity for the emergency ward.

253
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,239
Speaker 1: But you know, we are hearing from our emergency nurses

254
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: amongst us that they're understaffed and that something needs to

255
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: be done and we do need those additional staff bring in.

256
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: Way. For example, they're offering eight thousand dollars to bring staff.

257
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: From the likes of London get them across and they've

258
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: got a really clear plan in terms of exactly how

259
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: many we need. The Health Minister this morning said between

260
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: fifty and seventy and didn't say what initiatives they've got

261
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: to actually try and bring people across.

262
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: How said fifty, He did remote communities. So I go

263
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: to remote communities a lot. I'm going to WARRM Younger

264
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 3: tomorrow and there's shortages and out there for probably the

265
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 3: people that have got the most chronic health in Australia,

266
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 3: a shortage of people and professionals out there and bringing

267
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: people from overseas good And I've got no problem with that.

268
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 3: But you know, how do we incentivize people in Australia

269
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: and Australian people that are living here to go into.

270
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 5: The health sector. It's to work in that area.

271
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: It's not a lack of me in the system. Let

272
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 4: me tell you, it's not a lack of money. A

273
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 4: third of the territory budget goes into our health system.

274
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 4: As I say, the FEDS are pouring money into health

275
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: at the moment with COVID, So it's not a lack

276
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 4: of money. It's actually a lack of people on the ground. Katie.

277
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 4: Can I just go off on a bit of a

278
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: tangent in the moment.

279
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: It depends how far you go.

280
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 4: Well, I read in today's I read in today's newspaper

281
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 4: that CDU wants to have a stand alone medical school. Now,

282
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not really that much of a tangent

283
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: because all of this is happening at the moment with

284
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 4: what's going on with COVID, and I've got to say

285
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 4: I am deeply concerned about CDU's plans. Seriously concerned because

286
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 4: if you read between the lines, what they're aiming to

287
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 4: do is get rid of Flinders University because we do

288
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 4: have a medical school here. It is operating and it

289
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 4: has been operating for some time. Flinders has had a

290
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: relationship with the Northern Territory now for in excess of

291
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: twenty years, and.

292
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 5: That Mediga I didn't well, I'm telling you, I'm telling you.

293
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: I spoke to Scott on the show yesterday and he

294
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: said that, you know, no, it wasn't about pushing him.

295
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 4: Out, like hell, it's all about pushing Flinders out because

296
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 4: the reality is Flinder's is the one that's applied for

297
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 4: extra places and that sort of stuff. Flinders are very

298
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: deep in the Northern Territory and you know, in some

299
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 4: regards the CDU hasn't had quite a lot to do

300
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: with this medical school and over time, you know, for

301
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 4: a long time they've it's sort of been out of side,

302
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 4: out of mind as far as the people who run

303
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: the university are concerned, because basically Flinda steps in and

304
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 4: fills the gaps. What's happening now though, is they've decided,

305
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 4: oh no, no, this is a this is a money

306
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 4: making opportunity for CDU. C to you of course, as

307
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 4: we know, is going broke and they're about to go

308
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 4: massively broke when this four hundred fifty million dollar in

309
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 4: a city campus is constructed. I mean there's no way

310
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 4: known that they can possibly pay for that, and now

311
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 4: they're going to start cannibalizing our medical strate.

312
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: Didn't get the.

313
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: Impression desperately wanting to get rid of Flinders, right, and

314
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 4: it's an absolute disgrace. Flinders are so screwed into the

315
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: Northern Territory. They have been for twenty years. It's not

316
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 4: just at the university where this is happening. The university

317
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 4: seems to think that they're sort of unique. But the

318
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 4: hospital or the super clinic at Palms and I think

319
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 4: it might have been one of your initiatives. Highly Yeah,

320
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 4: that's CDU and Flinders. Flinders are all over the health

321
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 4: system right across the territory, particularly in remote health and

322
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 4: indigenous health. They do a lot of research in those areas.

323
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: And what's being proposed by c to you is nothing

324
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: more than empire building. It's nothing more than empire building.

325
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: Oh look the article I didn't sort of make it.

326
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 3: I didn't read into it as sinister as what they've did.

327
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 3: But I do think that you know, the Vice Chounce

328
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 3: I made it pretty clear that you know, they're interested

329
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 3: in having their own medical school through CDU. And look,

330
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: their universities are competitive by nature. Now they're in a

331
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 3: competitive market and they try to attract people and especially

332
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 3: you know our to our north is where the great

333
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: opportunities are for c DOU and so no doubt they're

334
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 3: probably looking to expand their footprint and their corporate footprint

335
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: to make money.

336
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 5: There's no doubt about that. But they're not alone in that.

337
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 5: There's universities are doing it everywhere. It's just not here.

338
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 5: It's just not CDU that are doing it. All universities.

339
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 4: Like I say, the thing is that Flinders have been

340
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 4: an essential partner for the Northern Territory health system for

341
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 4: twenty years now. And LI said, I got to be

342
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: honest with you, this is a backdoor way of getting

343
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 4: rid of fl in this university, out of our medical

344
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 4: school here.

345
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 5: In been great.

346
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 3: And remember Barney Glover was the vice chancellor back then,

347
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: and there was chief and I went out for the

348
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 3: sod turn.

349
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 5: It's quite funny.

350
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 3: Actually I missed the photo opportunity because a lady fainted

351
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: during the during the Warren Snowden speech.

352
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 5: So I'm there, surprised she was awake in where the faint.

353
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: Giving her some You've got to be awake to faint.

354
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 4: And then.

355
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: I got back to my office and the officers blowing

356
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 3: up at me saying, Heyle, you miss the photo. I

357
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: missed the photo because we were attending to the lady

358
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: who had fallen over and it was Barney and I

359
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 3: think Convat's Carlos, Hendo and Warren were turning the first

360
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 3: sod for the would ended up being the Flinders.

361
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: Really missed the photo.

362
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 5: I missed the photo.

363
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: Well, we're going to take a very short break. You

364
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: are listening to Mix one O four point nine is

365
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: three sixty. It is the Big Issues Bradley, brought to

366
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: you by Kolano Community Association. Well, it is just six

367
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: minutes away from eleven clock. We're fast running out of

368
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: time this morning. But the big fellas are in here

369
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: with me this morning.

370
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 4: Because you talk too much, Coatie timeone else gets learning.

371
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: I've been drawing pictures with the girls in the corner

372
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: as well. I was going to say at halftime, but

373
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean during this the.

374
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: Only one in this room lost his marbles to these kids.

375
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 4: You and Granddady certainly.

376
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: Looking after the girls remotely.

377
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 5: When day she was talking, I looked over at Indian.

378
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 5: She was rolling the rice. She already knows.

379
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: She's already on.

380
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 4: She gets older and matures. That's what I'm saying.

381
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: Very quickly because we're a fast running out of time.

382
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 1: But nine News is reporting today that Indonesia has plans

383
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: to reopen the airport in the resort island of Bali

384
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: for international flights on October fourteen, after closing it for

385
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: more than a year because of the COVID nineteen pandemic.

386
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: So the coordinating marriag Time, Affairs and Investment minister, whose

387
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: name I can't pronounce, said on Monday that the airport

388
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: will open to international flights as long as it fulfilled

389
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: requirements to quarantine and testing. So international arrivals must show

390
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: proof of hotel bookings for mandatory eight day quarantine. So

391
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: they've said that they're open to several countries including South Korea, China, Japan,

392
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates.

393
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: And New Zealand. There you go, not US at this

394
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: point in time.

395
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: But we know that Indonesia is the world's fourth most

396
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: populous country and recorded more than four point two million

397
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: COVID cases with one hundred and forty two thousand deaths,

398
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: but infections have decreased in the last few weeks after

399
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: peaking in mid July.

400
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: It's an interesting move and they obviously need it.

401
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 4: Don't pronounce his was it Wayanne or.

402
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: Come on now it is Minister Luhat Binsar Panjatan.

403
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 2: That's a great effort by me.

404
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, the.

405
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: Crab louis, what do we reckon?

406
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 2: You'd be on the first light, wouldn't you.

407
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they'd be a hot spot.

408
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: So you have to go.

409
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 3: You go to Barley for two weeks and then back

410
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: to how it springs for two weeks. So you take

411
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: your four weeks and you will leave.

412
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 4: Wait until I don't know, October fifteen. That's sort of

413
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 4: starting to line up pretty well with wedness together will open.

414
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: Up well, Yeah, but not I don't think waiting my nine.

415
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: And Michael Gunners surely wouldn't break ranks.

416
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 5: Now Singapore was shutting down.

417
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what did Singapore get to eighty percent vaccinations.

418
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 4: And thirty percent when they opened up and they're satting

419
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: at ninety percent now. Yeah, they opened up in March.

420
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 5: I had three thousand new infections two days ago.

421
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, looks to get to Barlie Harley. The point is

422
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 4: since March they haven't been keeping records on who's infected.

423
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 4: They treat it like any other.

424
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 2: Sapore.

425
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: Singapore they treat.

426
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 5: Well, they're not published three thousand.

427
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: What fake news you've been reading, because back in March

428
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 4: they said that was it. That's the end of the

429
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 4: publishing of any statistics and that sort of stuff.

430
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 5: Two days ago. I'm pretty sure it's on nine and they.

431
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 4: May have well about three thousand people over there. They're infected,

432
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 4: but they don't care. There aren't there.

433
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 3: They're trading overseas workers going into Singapore as well.

434
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 4: Big time.

435
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: Look, we've actually run out of time. That's it for us.

436
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: This morning.

437
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 5: Maybe that week.

438
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 3: Have that luncheon that you've been promising for a decade.

439
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 3: It's been a it's coming up ten years. We'll have

440
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 3: to have an anniversary in the first time.

441
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: One hundred dollars return air fees. But those days they

442
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 4: will be honest, I tell you what. It will be

443
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 4: a big thing for Darwin people because there's a number

444
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: of people in the turf You've got, You've got into

445
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 4: sin Bali who shared places here and if it's.

446
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: Going to depend on whether you can't, whether you've got

447
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: to be in quarantine, like you said, for two weeks,

448
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: pleasure over there for quite an extended period of time.

449
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: It would be you know, if you're coming back double Jab,

450
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 4: you don't get quarantined.

451
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you still have to quarantine, particularly for

452
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: us here in Darwin.
