1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Well, a new cohort of MLAs make their debut in

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: the Northern Territory Parliament next week following the August twenty

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: two election. One of those people is the COLPS member

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: for Daily Ian Sloane, and he joins me in the

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: studio now slowly, good.

6
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: Morning morning, Mattie. How are you today? Well?

7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Thanks mate. You are probably one of the most well

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: known and loved people in Berry Springs. That's very nice

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: of you to say that. I mean, that's just my

10
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: personal life. Okay, I'm sure there are other people who

11
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: said that should we go on a date? Well, one

12
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: place we could go is the Berry Springs Tavern here,

13
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: of course, the publican of the Berry Springs Tavern. What

14
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: on earth made you decide to go from being one

15
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: of the most loved people as a publican to what

16
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: some would argue is one of the most disliked people

17
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: as a politician.

18
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: It's an interesting journey, isn't Maddie started off as a

19
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: backpacker here twenty five years ago, to become a publican,

20
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 2: to become a politician, there's a lot of similarity, to

21
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: be honest, Mattie. You know, as a publican you spend

22
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: a lot of time standing around talking to people and

23
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: listening to their problems. As a politician, you know, we

24
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: have the same thing. A lot of people pop in

25
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: the office and have have a chat and we listen.

26
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: I guess the difference isn't when you're doing in a

27
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: pub you get a few schooners onder your belt. At

28
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: the offices over a couple of coffees. So being a

29
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: politician is probably gonna be better for my kidney's going forward.

30
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: But look, it's a great challenge and one I'm really

31
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: looking forward to over the next the next four years.

32
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: They always say all the world's problems can be solved

33
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: over a couple of schooners at the bar.

34
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, we might have to look at

35
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: that as a possible legislation going forward.

36
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: I look at this. You're coming in with ideas already,

37
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: ideas man, Maddie. I mean it was it was a

38
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: tight race in Daily after polling down. I don't think

39
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: results came out for about a week or so in

40
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: Daily afterwards. Was there a time where you didn't think

41
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: you'd get across the line?

42
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? One d p Maddie. The first night you know

43
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: we had the you know, the party at the pub

44
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: and I did go to bed that night thinking, yeah,

45
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: we haven't got this. You know, we've we've put in

46
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: all this work and it hasn't happened. And unfortunately for

47
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 2: us over the over the coming I think it was

48
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: nearly two weeks. Yeah, not a result did turn around

49
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: our way, and it was narrow, but you know, that's

50
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: given me an incentive over the next four years to

51
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: work hard and make sure I can build on that

52
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: next time around.

53
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: What was that two weeks like in waiting?

54
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: Probably worse for my wife and people like my campaign manager,

55
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: you know, they were probably more nervous than me. For me,

56
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: I took it as an opportunity to sort of take

57
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: a sit down and catch my breath. Really, that's I

58
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: don't think I really realized how much work was involved

59
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: and running for this campaign. It actually takes a lot

60
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: out of you. So to have that sort of two

61
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: weeks in between, it was actually quite nice to sort

62
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: of take a step back and ponder what the journey

63
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 2: we've been through.

64
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: You've got some big shoes to feel in. Gary Higgins,

65
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: the former member for Daily, has he given you any

66
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: advice on being a local member and being a politician?

67
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I'm very fortunate. I do have the advantage

68
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: of having Gary on my side, which a lot of

69
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: the new MLAs don't have that luxury. And he has

70
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: been fantastic the whole way through. He's the person who

71
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: tooked me into it. So thanks for that, Gary, like

72
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: all you want. But we catch up regularly. We try

73
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 2: and catch up at least once a week, which is

74
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: really good because you know, he was that member for

75
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: the member for daily for eight years. A lot of experience,

76
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: a lot of knowledge, and it's really good to spend

77
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: a couple of hours with him once a week and

78
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: I can go through the issues that have come across

79
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: my desk over the week and listen to his advice.

80
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: So it's been really good. And Rondo as well. I

81
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: can't forget about Ronda. She's a lovely lady and she's

82
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: she's been there, very supportive to myself and my family.

83
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: And Gary, as you say, very very big shoes to fill,

84
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: but looking forward the opportunity to fill those shoes.

85
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: Definitely. What have you been doing since you were vited in?

86
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: Nothing?

87
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Mate?

88
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: Feed up on the desk.

89
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: I'd love to believe you, but I don't for a second.

90
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: No, very busy trying to get around the electorate as

91
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: much as possible, meet as many people as possible, trying

92
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: to straight away. There's a lot of issues across Daily Daily.

93
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: It's a massive electorate. When I talk to my friends

94
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: back in Ireland, I say, the electorate of Daily is

95
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: actually the same size as Ireland of Ireland. So it's

96
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: a huge area. And you know compass areas like Berry

97
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: Springs down river down to Dundee Pine Creek all the

98
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: way out to Timber Creek and what I so, a

99
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: lot of issues and really so many such a diverse

100
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 2: community that the bush areas versus a rural area. So

101
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: you know when we go to the bush areas like

102
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: Port Kates, you know there's big issues with the roads

103
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: for example that I don't know if you've been to

104
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: Port Kates, Maddie, but the road out there is it's

105
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: just no more than a dirt track once you get

106
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: past the Daihi River turn off. So really keen to

107
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: get my teeth into that. I know there's been a

108
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: commitment from the federal government to seal that road, and

109
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: I'll be doing everything over the next four years to

110
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: make sure that works continued. But then we go out

111
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: to you know, the rural areas. There's big issues there

112
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: with water, with telem communications or lack oven places, and

113
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: then there's specific problems for Pacific area. So you know,

114
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: Dundee desperate need of a health clinic. You know, since

115
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: that road was sealed, the number of people visiting Dandee

116
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: every weekend is only is growing and will continue to grow.

117
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: And there's no health facilities. So if you're out there,

118
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: Maddie on the weekend and you you know, fall off

119
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: your quarterback when you're drunk, you know you're going to

120
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: take an hour, your best bet is to get in

121
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: the car and drive yourself back to Darwin Rock. So

122
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: you know, that's something I'm really passionate about. But every

123
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: area has its own issues and I'm really looking forward

124
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: to getting out there talking to as many people as possible.

125
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: We've been down to Dundee already. We've got the petition

126
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: at Dundee for the health clinic. We'll be talking to

127
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: people of Mandora about the jetty. People at south Ward

128
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: have got issues of water. So yeah, lots of issues.

129
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: We have been busy, continue to be busy, and you know,

130
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: it's a full time job and.

131
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: It's the first sittings of the new Parliament. They kick

132
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: off next week. How are you feeling about that?

133
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: As I said to your fair mate, I am crapping myself.

134
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: So it's a different word.

135
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm really really, really really excited, but really really nervous.

136
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: We had induction on Tuesday and it's the first time

137
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: and it's often Gary said to me, he said, you'll

138
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: never understand the position until you're sitting there in that

139
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: room with those twenty five people. And when we sat

140
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: down on Tuesday and we could see everyone in the

141
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: chamber the first time, it really hit home the enormity

142
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: of what I've did, the journey, you know, where the

143
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: journey's taken me. So very very nervous about Tuesday, but

144
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: at the same time just want to get over and

145
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: done with and get on with business. I'm really excited

146
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: to be glad to have my family there with me

147
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: on the day. It's actually my son's fifteen th firfty

148
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: on the day. Yeah, well, he's not excited at all.

149
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: He's a dad. I'd rather stay at school and do

150
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: my mast has to go to Parliament House, but he's

151
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: going to be there and my mum and dad and

152
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: my wife Lea will be there, so yeah, really excited mate.

153
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, it really is a whole new world

154
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: in there, and it comes with a whole new set

155
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: of rules. How are you feeling about those? It's a

156
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: big rule book. If you had a chance to study

157
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: it and go through some of the parliamentary processes.

158
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: I have studied at matt quite a bit of depth.

159
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: I'm not real good with rules, so it's going to

160
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: be a tricky one for you. And asked my wife

161
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: that question. I'm not very good with proceduring.

162
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be the first rebel MLA in there.

163
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: I had no intention of being the revel MLA. But yeah,

164
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: it is a big There's lots of sessional orders and

165
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: standing orders and it's a lot to get your head

166
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 2: around it. And the good thing about it going into

167
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 2: it is that we're very much in the same boat,

168
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: or a lot of us in the same boat. You know,

169
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: We've Lee has come from a party of two to

170
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: a party of eight, so it's great that you know

171
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: all the rest of the team. We're all in the

172
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: same boat. We're all on a very very steep learning curve.

173
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: We're all very enthusiastic, all very keen to get into it,

174
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: and I think we'll all be glad when we get

175
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: choosed over and done with them. We can actually get

176
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: into the nuts and bolts of you know, Parliament and

177
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: that entails.

178
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: And I guess on top of that, and I know

179
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: you haven't had a chance to look at it too much,

180
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: but you've also picked up some shadow portfolios as well.

181
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I really excited about the portfolio as

182
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: have picked up MAPPY especially a lot of them are

183
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: very relevant to the daily Electric So yeah, I picked

184
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: up agri business and aquaculture, Veteran Affairs, Arts and Cultures,

185
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: local government and Indigenous essential Services. So a real range

186
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: of projects out there and got a list as as

187
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: long as your arm of people I've got to sort

188
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: of get in front of over the next couple of

189
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: months and I really get a handle across all those

190
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: portfolios and and I'm not just the peag bodies, but

191
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: actually getting on the ground and talking to people about

192
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: those portfolio. But again, it's something I'm really excited about

193
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: getting my teeth into over the next four years.

194
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I know, when I've spoken to Lea about this

195
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: previously and she's been really happy that she does have

196
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: a team to share that workload with now, and it

197
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: sounds like you're you're really lucky as well, I guess

198
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: walking into a team of eight as opposed to you know,

199
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen when there was just that team of two.

200
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny you said that. We were in the

201
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: lobby room. I think that's what it's called, next to

202
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: the chamber yesterday Tuesday. Yeah, and Leah walked out. We

203
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: were all there already and she walked in, and the

204
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: look in her face, Yeah, I'm not talking out to school,

205
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: I hope, but the look in her face is like, oh, look,

206
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, I forgot I had so many people

207
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: on the team. So yeah, it must be a great

208
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: She's done a great job over the last four years

209
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: and just done all by herself. And I think that

210
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 2: just skills to show with the caliber of the lady.

211
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: And you know, the team's all excited to get behind

212
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 2: her and give her all the support we can over

213
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 2: the next four years and hopefully in four years time

214
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: have a different result.

215
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,760
