1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: You are listening to mix one oh four nine's three sixty. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Now we know that on Friday, David Connolly was sworn 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: in as the twenty fourth Administrator of the Northern Territory. 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: The appointment has not been without controversy, nor was Friday. 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: Alarakia Elder was arrested at that demonstration in front of 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: Parliament House, while inside, we know that politicians and community 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: leaders watched on as the Governor General Sam Mouston affirmed 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: mister Connolly as the King's representative. Now it should have 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: been a moment which brought Territorians together, but it seemed 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: to do the opposite. I am pleased to say though, 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: that joining me in the studio is his honor, the 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: honorable David Connolly. Good morning to you. 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: Good morning Katy. How are you going? 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, very well, Thank you very much for your time. 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: I know it's limited, so we'll try and power through. Now, Administrator, 16 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: you were indeed sworn in on Friday, but your appointment 17 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: has not been without controversy. How did you feel to 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: be officially sworn in? 19 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: Well, firstly, Katie, let me say to you that the 20 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: very first thing that I've done as part of my 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: administration or as being an administrator is come and see 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: you today. I wanted to have a talk to your listeners. 23 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: I feel like it's fairly intimate one on one with 24 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: the radio at home, and I've been listening to you 25 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: all show lately and people have been having their opinion. 26 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: So I asked my office to push back some very 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: important appointments. And the very first thing I've done since 28 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: being sworn in and my first Monday is come and 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: have a talk to you and your listeners. So how 30 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 2: do I feel about being sworn in? I think it 31 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: was a little bit surreal, to be honest, I'm not 32 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 2: sure it's all sunk in yet. I'm very honored by it. 33 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: The whole perception of being a cattleman on a cattle 34 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: station one day and then suddenly the administrator of the 35 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: Northern Territory the next day has been a little bit 36 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: of a rollercaster ride. I've had very good advice from 37 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: the administrator off in the Office of the Official Secretary. 38 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: I liken it as going to administrator school, so I'm 39 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: learning all the things that I need to know now 40 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 2: and in the future. 41 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: I bet, and I bet it's a steep learning curve, 42 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: and you know, I guess it's probably been a steep 43 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: learning curve as well. With your social media. You know, 44 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: some of the things that you've said in the past 45 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: being front and center really over the last few weeks, and. 46 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: They were drawn front and center. I think the important 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: word there is that their past social media comments. My 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: past was as a cattle station manager. I was thrust 49 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 2: into the cut and thrust of agri politics by taking 50 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: on the NTCA presidency. And whilst in that NTCA presidency, 51 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 2: my job was to look after the members of the NTCA, 52 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: and at the time, we're in a very vicious fight 53 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 2: with the federal government and my role was to head 54 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: up that fight. As a matter of fact, I was 55 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 2: one of three people that were advising the solicitors about 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: that class action. I've resigned from that. None of that 57 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: is as important to me as the administrator's role at 58 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: the moment, and my focus is clearly on the administrator's role. 59 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: And yes, the school of administrator has been a long 60 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: and arduous and the learning curve is unbelievable. 61 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: Look, I know that some of the tweets that you 62 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: did previously say online have drawn a lord of controversy. 63 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, from well really, you know, things 64 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: that seem to mock Welcome to Country, making claims that 65 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: Indigenous people are fast stracked through the services. And then 66 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: of course there's been jokes about domestic violence, one in particular, 67 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: where you'd said, according to the Greens, I was supposed 68 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: to go home and commit domestic violence. Lucky I was 69 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: too rooted. What did you mean by that? 70 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going to get into all my tweets 71 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 2: with you, Katie, because we just don't have enough time, 72 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 2: but I want to tell you that all of those 73 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: were in response to things that were going on in 74 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: the pastoral world. Does that take it right? 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: Though? 76 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: Doesn't make it right, particularly when you've come into a 77 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: position like now, I want to tell you why are 78 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: you sorry? Yeah, I want to tell you why I 79 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: apologize because I've been criticized for not apologizing for some time. 80 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: So let me tell you why. If I was going 81 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: to make those tweets, then I'm not sorry because I 82 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 2: made them, But let me tell you why I apologized. 83 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: This position has allowed me to meet people that have 84 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: lived a life a different life to me. One way. 85 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: I grew up in a loving family with mum and 86 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: dad and no violence, hard working bush people married to 87 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: a woman who's very successful in our own right and 88 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: very strong. So it is a bit alien to me. 89 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: But this world that I've come into as administrator opens 90 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: me up to different stories, and I was able to 91 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: sit with people. I've actually sat with people and heard 92 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: some of their stories. Now what my tweets do and 93 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: what I've learned. What I've learned about this is that 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: my tweets trigger those memories for those people, and for 95 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: that I am very sorry because I've now learned and 96 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: we're actually bringing some of the people into talk to me. 97 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: I've spoken to people about it, but now where my office. 98 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: I've asked my office to bring in the associations and 99 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: let's talk to them. And what I really want to 100 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 2: do in this learning period is to ask those people 101 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 2: and those associations how how my office can now help 102 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: to tone down those sort of comments that blokes do 103 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: a blokey sort of talk, or you know, it's a 104 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: little bit clumsy. 105 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: I guess the thing is, it's not a bit clumsy though. 106 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: You know, some people listening will be going, well, it's 107 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: outright sort of sexist, or it comes across quite racist. 108 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 2: Some people will be Katie, but let me tell you 109 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: some people aren't so in this whole argument. There's been 110 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 2: in your show and others of people saying, you know, 111 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: the administrators of this and the administrators of that. On 112 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: the other hand, I'm getting text messages and phone calls 113 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: and letters from people saying you hang in there, mister Conley, 114 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: because what you're doing is right. I don't want to 115 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 2: cause a right or wrong in this. What I want 116 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: to show you is that I've learned from it. That 117 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: my past is my past and I can't change that, 118 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: but I've owned it. And the very first thing I've 119 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 2: done this morning is to come here and own it. 120 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: And then I want to learn from this, and I 121 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: want to work with my office, which is a very 122 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: powerful office but works in very subtle ways, to try 123 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: and change how people comment on these things. 124 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: And what to those that are listening this morning that 125 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: say a leopard never changes his spots, Like I don't 126 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: know how old you are, but what to those people 127 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: listening this morning that are going, well, if you've had 128 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: that attitude for the last you know, however many years, 129 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: you're always going to have it. 130 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: Well, same thing, Katie. Some of your listeners will say that, 131 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: and some will say, gee, I hope he doesn't change 132 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: his spots one of them. You know, some people, do. 133 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: You reckon that you should in terms of some of 134 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: those comments around. 135 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: Some people think that the reason I've been asked to 136 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: be administrators because I'm a strong personality. That's actually quite incorrect, 137 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: because my personality doesn't count anymore. The office. The office 138 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: is bigger than the personality, and it's bigger than the person. 139 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: It's like a rowboat. Everybody has to work as part 140 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 2: of a team, and the boats the most important thing, 141 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: not the people in it. 142 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: Administrator, I know I'll be getting the hurry along very quickly, 143 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: so I want to get a few with you through 144 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: a few things. Have you had any organizations turn down 145 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: your patronage? 146 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 2: No, not at this stage. 147 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: Have you been contacted by any. 148 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: Of them with full disclosure. We've had some. We've had 149 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: some people or organizations say we would like to sit 150 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,679 Speaker 2: down and talk with you. That actually suits me because 151 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: people don't know me from Darwin. You know, people in 152 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: the bush do, and the communities do. So I've said 153 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: to my office, let's get some of these people in 154 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: and talk to them first, and then they'll see the 155 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: real David. 156 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: What about Aboriginal community leaders who at this stage some 157 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: don't seem like they want a real lot. 158 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,559 Speaker 2: To do with you. I think that question has been answered, 159 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: Katie the You know, I had one of the one 160 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: of the most wonderful people. It was quite a surprise 161 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: to me, Miriam Rose Bowman from my country Daily River 162 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: talk at my swearing in, which was fantastic. 163 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: What about though, you know, the likes of the head 164 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: of the nl SEE and others.
