1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: We know that there are now four new positive COVID

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: nineteen cases recorded in the Northern Territory in the past

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. Joining me on the line is the

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: Health Minister Attasha Files.

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning Katie, Good morning listeners.

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Now, Minister I understand that these new cases arrived on

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: the repatriation flight from Chennai on the fifteenth of April

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: and they've tested positive for COVID nineteen.

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Yes, Katie, so we have seen, you know, over the

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: Territory's role in repatriating these vulnerable Australian homes a number

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: of cases. There's currently eleven active cases in the Northern Territory.

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: Four were recorded yesterday and Katie, I haven't had today

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: figures come through, but will be sure to get those

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: through to you as soon as we get them. But

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: these are people that have arrived on these repatriation flights.

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: They're tested immediately upon arrival and then there's a process

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: of continual testing during their stay. So that's why the

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: Territorians we do see these cases, you know, they sort

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: of wonder where we had the flight the other day,

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: why they're suddenly cases today. They're tested and then that

21
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: screening process takes place and then they're tested again during

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: their stay.

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: All right, So eleven cases in the Northern Territory at

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: the moment, but they are all at the Howard Springs

25
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: Quarantine Facility. Minister, it almost sounds like you're expecting more today,

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: So Katie.

27
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,279
Speaker 2: I think you only have to look at what's happening,

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: particularly in India, but around the world we're seeing this

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: new wave of the virus and so I know many

30
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: of us had hoped that we were sort of past

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: the worst of it, but those cases, particularly in India,

32
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: and so we are seeing a percentage of people off

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: those flights infected, and so we build our resources around

34
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 2: that infectivity rate well.

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: And I think we all know how important the crew

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: out there, the OSMACK crew have been out there in

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: terms of managing those international repatriations and indeed the number

38
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: of cases that have been through that facility.

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: When is the facility.

40
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: Expected to change over in terms of the management from

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: the National Critical Care and Trauma Response Team Northern Territory

42
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: Health to.

43
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: Katie, I want to make it really clear that change

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: will only occur when OZMAT has the confidence that we

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: have all the clinical procedures in place to keep territory

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: and safe for me as the Minister for National Resilience,

47
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: that's been my absolute key point all the way through.

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: We are working towards dates, and in fact there's already

49
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: been work undertaken where staff from the OZMAT side are

50
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: being mirrod by staff from nt Health. Some of the

51
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: odd OSMAT staff, the people that are currently working under

52
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 2: the banner of OZMTT are going to go across and

53
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: work under the territory program. So it's really important that

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: territorians understand that it's not simply oh, here's the list

55
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: of people and we're out of here. It's absolutely a

56
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: process where we're making sure all those clinical procedures that

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: have been placed continue and that staff are fully trained,

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: and some of the staff will come across as well

59
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: as new staff joining the program.

60
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: But Minister, when are those additional flights going to start arriving?

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: So we're seeing an increase in the flights over the

62
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: next few weeks. One of our restrictions around the increase

63
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 2: in flights. Just for your listeners, there's currently eight hundred

64
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: and thirty three people at Howard Springs and seven hundred

65
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 2: and twenty two of those are at the Center for

66
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 2: National resilience with those flights. We were always had a

67
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: constraint of infrastructure if we were to see a late

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 2: cyclone that has been seen in the territory of cyclone

69
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: during April, and so we had to make sure that

70
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: we could safely care for people if we were faced

71
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: with that situation, but was always intended to step it

72
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: up during May.

73
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so during May, those flights are going to step up.

74
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: We are going to see more of those international arrivals.

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: But by the sounds of things, there's no real rush

76
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: to change over from the OZMA team managing those international

77
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: arrivals to nt Health.

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: So OZMA Katie has deployed recently to Papua New Guinea.

79
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: They've been supporting it and looking at what's happened in

80
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: tim or less and so there is people in OSMAT

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: that would like to get back to their core roles,

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: but no, there is no rush at all make sure

83
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: that the processes are in place, that those high clinical

84
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: standards that have really led the world that they have

85
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: developed are in place before they leave the facility, so

86
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: to speak. But some of their staff will in fact

87
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: stay at the facility and work under the anti government

88
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: anti health spanner.

89
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So there were plans to obviously recruit four hundred

90
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: staff that we're going to need to be attracted to

91
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: fill those roles once the change over happened.

92
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: Is that still.

93
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: Required, yes, Katie, So we do need to fill around

94
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: four hundred roles and those roles are from logistics, cleaners,

95
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: support people through to doctors and nurses that provide that care.

96
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: The model out there, and I visited the facility with

97
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 2: the Territory Controller along with Lena Taris, Professor Lamaitaris and

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: looked at how the changes and the changes are practical elements.

99
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: So at the moment you've got the two sides and

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: you've got a separation of the facilities, they're coming together

101
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: will provide there'll be the areas for each fly and

102
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: so they'll be isolated, they'll have that red zone, and

103
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: so it'll be a far more logical use of the

104
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: facilities out there as we step forward under the one banner.

105
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: And so where are you adding terms of this recruitment.

106
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: How many staff have now been recruited, Katy.

107
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: I don't have the latest figure, but when I was

108
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: at the facility a couple of weeks ago, around seventy

109
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: staff have already been recruited. Now some stuff are going

110
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: to come across from OZMA to MTG, but that recruitment

111
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 2: is going well for the facility, and like I said,

112
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 2: we want to be changing from the Osmack model to

113
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: MTG until we have absolute confidence that we have those

114
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: clinical processes and the plans in place as well as

115
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: the staff to make sure that that can be executed.

116
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: How on earth are you going to reach four hundred.

117
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 2: So, Katie, as I said, there are a variety of roles,

118
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: and I expect that those roles are now being advertised

119
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: and so it was a situation that we had to

120
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: do preliminary work to identify the roles within the structure

121
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: do the job descriptions. But that work's all been undertaken.

122
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: There being advertised, so I expect it to list quite

123
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: quickly as we know, as these next few weeks progress.

124
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I do want to talk to you about the situation.

125
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: With the National Cabinet meeting yesterday, it was decided that

126
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: the vaccine rollout would be reset on the back of

127
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: the updated Medical Advice recommending that Australians under the age

128
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: of fifty received the fires A vaccine over the astrosenica

129
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: amid concerns about red blood clots. How is this going

130
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: to impact the rollout of the vaccine in the Northern Territory.

131
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: So, Katie, it has forced us to recalibrate our vaccine plans.

132
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: We had based plans and our challenge has always been

133
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: a small population in remote communities across a large geographical area.

134
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: And so now that we need to use the fires

135
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: of vaccine for under fifties and the astrosenka for over

136
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: fifties from that comm WOS direction, it does for us

137
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: create we need to recall rate all those plans and

138
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 2: put new plans in place, and so we're working through

139
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: that so that we can roll the vaccine out territory wide.

140
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: So how long do you think it's going to take

141
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: now to vaccinate everybody in the Northern.

142
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: Territory, Katie, I don't have a time frame. I'm hopeful

143
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: that everyone in the territory will be vaccinated by the

144
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: end of the year. We've already vaccinated around eighteen thousand

145
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Territorians and there has been a significant number who received

146
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: their second dose. But we need to be in terms

147
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: of our vaccination program. We are going back and looking

148
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: at the plans the Commonwealth. I've had conversations with Schedual

149
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: Health Minister Greg Hunt and he certainly understands in the

150
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: territory the difficulty that we have, but also the opportunity

151
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: and has indicated that there'll be flexibility from the Commonwealth

152
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: for us to roll out our plans.

153
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: But there must be some kind of timeline I'm assuming

154
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: as to you know when you reach certain milestones.

155
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: So Katie, that's what we're working through and will share

156
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: with the community in the coming weeks. We need to

157
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: know what back, what vaccines, and what types and numbers

158
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 2: we're getting into the territory for us to it's a

159
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: big change from Astrazenica, which was nine weeks nine to

160
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: twelve weeks apart. The fire needs to be delivered only

161
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: three weeks apart, and so we had plans to visit

162
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: areas and then go back and visit them later. It

163
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: might be better off for us to stay in a

164
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: particular region and vaccinate that region. So that's what's been

165
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: worked through presently, but territoriums should be reassured that we

166
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: don't have that community transmission. Over eighteen thousand or around

167
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: eighteen thousand, territories have been vaccinated. All of our pretty

168
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: much all of our frontline workers, those highest risk people

169
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: have been excuse me, vaccinated and will continue to be now.

170
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: I know that it's been reported nationally that doctors are

171
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: now reporting that patients are missing their appointments for the

172
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: astrosenica vaccine over safety concerns, with thousands of doses sitting

173
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: idle in fridges across the country. Have we had that

174
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: situation here in the territory, Katy.

175
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: There's certainly apprehension around the astrosenica vaccine, and so it's

176
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: really important for people to understand this blood clotting is

177
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: extremely rare, and the advice is when you are over fifty,

178
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: you've got more of a risk of COVID than the

179
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: blood clotting it's been in younger people. If you've had

180
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: your first dose of astrosenica and that was, you know,

181
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: a few weeks ago on your duty, your second dose,

182
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: you should get that second dose. It's so important to

183
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: make sure you're fully vaccinated. The reactions to date have

184
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: been as I understand, in that first dose. So you know,

185
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: if you under fifty and you're received a first dose

186
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 2: of astrozeneka, you need to see that that second dose,

187
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 2: it must be astrasenica two that you can be reassured

188
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: that reactions seem to be in that first dose. So

189
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 2: people just to.

190
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: Go back to the question though, do we have a

191
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: situation where there is vaccine sitting idle in the Northern

192
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: Territory or are we not in that situation here in

193
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: the territory.

194
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: So, Katie, the advice that the Health Department has provided me,

195
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 2: and remembering we've got the Health Department and then the

196
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: commonwealths are rolling out the age care and then the GPS.

197
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: But around seventy five percent of our vaccines has been

198
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: used and so we're not seeing the vaccine s on

199
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: the shelf here. But Katie, this is all developed fairly quickly.

200
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: It was only ten days ago that the advice around

201
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: astrazeneka changed. But the advice I've had is that we're

202
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: still utilizing the vaccine we've got.

203
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: Okay, I just want to go across to some pretty

204
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: terrible vision which has been shared very widely on social media. Overnight,

205
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: a Darwin shop owner's been taken to hospital after she

206
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: was injured during a supermarket robbery. The Northern Territory Police

207
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: Watch commander spoke to Maddie Hepworth, our news director, a

208
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: little bit earlier this morning and said, there's a staff

209
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: at the Winnelli supermarket noticed two men had entered the

210
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: store and were acting suspiciously. Now they then were grabbing

211
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: different things. They grabbed alcohol and when the time came

212
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: to pay or to head towards the desk, they bowled this.

213
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: Shop owner over.

214
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: She's ended up injured and had to be taken to

215
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: Royal Darwin Hospital.

216
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: Have you seen that vision and what was your reaction, Katie?

217
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: I haven't seen that vision, but the way you've just

218
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: described it to me sounds terrible and it's unacceptable. I

219
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: do need to be careful with my comments that the

220
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: police are clearly investigating and hopefully charges can be laid,

221
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: but that is unacceptable in our behavior, and you know,

222
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 2: people should have the right to be safe at works

223
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: just doing their job and we've put in place a

224
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: range of measures and we will continue to work on

225
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: this issue and be agile and respond to the community.

226
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Now it is being reported that at the desk they

227
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: were asked for ID which they didn't have, and it

228
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: was at that time that the shop owner placed herself

229
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: some distance behind the two mails and she had a

230
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: trolley in front of her. They turned with that stolen

231
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: property and charged at the lady. I mean, does this

232
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: demonstrate that we've got a real situation in the territory

233
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: at the moment where if people want alcohol, they are

234
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: going to extraordinary lengths to get.

235
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: It, Katie, I will wait for them the advice from police,

236
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: but we know that alcohol is the basis of so

237
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: much crime and anti social behavior, and we've put in

238
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: place measures to protect the community. But that is clearly

239
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: unacceptable what you have just explained. People are breaking the

240
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: law and they're harming an individual and there's in no

241
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: way would that be appropriate.

242
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Well, we will be speaking hopefully to the Winelli shop

243
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: owner a little bit later this morning. Minister for Health,

244
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: Natasha Files, we appreciate your time today, Thanks very much

245
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: for speaking with us.

246
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: Thank you
