1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Joining me on the line right now.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 2: We've got our first candidate before this morning, Kylie Bonani

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: from the Liberal Democrats. Good morning to you, Kylie.

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 3: Hey Katie, how are you very well? Now?

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time this morning, Kylie,

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: I might get the get the timers started straight away

7
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: and we'll get into it.

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: Are you ready?

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 3: I am ready, I'm in the car na what all.

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: Right, let's get started now, Kylie.

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: Why did you put your hand up to run for

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: the seat of Solomon.

13
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: That's felt foremost the voters of Solomon need and want

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: an alternative to the ALP and CLP. They've just shown

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 3: themselves to be so dysfunctional, both of them, both of them.

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: Now, what do you see as being the biggest issues

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 2: in the seat of Solomon.

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: Look, I'm as much as I don't want to say crime,

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: it is crime, and I know it's an antique government responsibility,

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: but it is crime. We are going to tackle that

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 3: head on. So we're not shying away from some of

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: the things that are surrounding crime that even though it's

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: not our responsibility, we still have we still have thoughts

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: around that. We definitely want to legislate to make parents

25
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: and legal guardians responsible to use crime and bailed regions,

26
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: making the family responsibility agreements mandatory and court imposed, and

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: holding parents or guardians criminally criminally responsible for children in

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: their care. We want to make anty police responsible for

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: dealing with juvenile crime instead of territory families. Reforms to

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: the bail as to the ends of the capture and

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: release recycle, minimum sentences for multiple offenses. Establishment of purpose

32
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: built juvenile justice facilities that provide a mix of schools

33
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: and vocational education, thought life skills, recreation and specialized follows

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: and educators to deal with disorders to us as FASD

35
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 3: and ADHD based on the diagramma model.

36
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: And Kylie, obviously you know crime is an issue that

37
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: gets raised with us all of the time on this show.

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: Are there any other issues that you see as being

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: a real concern for Solomon?

40
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: Look, definitely the mandates, Katie. I feel, Look, this is

41
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: this is something that had made me lead the CLP,

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 3: so I just felt that we were not being heard

43
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 3: as members and representatives and as a representative of that party.

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 3: This is the first time in my lifetime, Katie, that

45
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: I've felt the devastating effect that this has had on

46
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: people's lives. Please, I'm not an anti vaxer. I want

47
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 3: your listeners to know I am not anti vaxx. I

48
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: am triplebacks by choice. I just simply believe in the

49
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: individual's right. It's the most basic thing about democracy, and

50
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: our two major parties have forgotten by all the parties

51
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: would by and ignored business owners and effect that if

52
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: I've had honest employees, and it takes a lot of

53
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: courage to break your pattern and vote with a different party,

54
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: that I believe this is a year to make that change. Katie. Now, see,

55
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: they're just not targets. They are a blanket approach. If

56
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: they are a little bit more specific, maybe it wouldn't

57
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: be so bad. But the blanket approach is devastating businesses.

58
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: Katie.

59
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: Now, why do you think that you and the party

60
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: that you're part of will be best place to deal

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: with these issues?

62
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: Well, when listening, Katie, the two majors are just not listening.

63
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: They've just got their blinkers and ear masson. They're not

64
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: listening to what people are saying. I think they've just

65
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: been guided. They've got their seats. They don't want to

66
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: rock the boat. Look, I'm out there I'm vocal, I'm

67
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: door knocking, I'm listening to everybody. You've got to move

68
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: with the times, Katie, and neither of these parties have moved.

69
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: Kylie, We've got a couple of questions left in about

70
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: forty five seconds.

71
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Who are you going to be preferencing?

72
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm as part of the Liberal Democrats policy. We're

73
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: definitely we are voting out the majors. So here in

74
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: the territory, our two majors are Labor and CLP. So

75
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: I am going My second preferences goes to the United

76
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: Australia Party. My third goes to I think it's the

77
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: Pauline Hanson one Nation, my third, my fourth goes to

78
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: the CLP because I am a conservative at heart. Luke

79
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: is five and the Greens are sick. Now I'm going

80
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: through my work and true to my values. Katie.

81
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: Now we might make these run for five minutes because

82
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: we're running out of time. So I'll just ask you finally,

83
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: and you've got forty seconds to let us know. Why

84
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: should people vote for you?

85
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 3: Book?

86
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 5: That's easy.

87
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: I think it's easy. Nobody is happy, and I believe

88
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: in the territory you're so underdeveloped and we have so

89
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 3: many opportunities that are open to us with mining, agriculture, manufacturing.

90
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: I want to see growth, jobs, security, future territories. What

91
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 3: had the two major parties delivered just this? I want

92
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: your listeners to just think, what have they delivered? The

93
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 3: delibered that Democrats are our future party. It's time for

94
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: wheal change. Write one Kylie for Solomon.

95
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: Oh, we've run out of time, Kylie Banani, thank you

96
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: very much, thanks for your time this morning, Kylie Varani

97
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: there from the Liberal Democrats. And look, I made the

98
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: executive decision throughout that interview that I think these are

99
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: going to have to run for five minutes and we

100
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: have got enough time. Now joining us on the line

101
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: right now for our next for our next interview, let

102
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: me just make sure I.

103
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: Start or restart at the clock.

104
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: But joining us on the line right now, is I

105
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: a good rich cartling from the Greens.

106
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: Good morning to you, Aya.

107
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 5: Good morning Katy. How are you this morning?

108
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: Very well? Now let's get into it.

109
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 2: I might start with the the first question, why did

110
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: you put your hand up to run in the seat

111
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: of Solomon?

112
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, Well I've put my hand up to

113
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 5: run just because I'm really passionate about the territory and

114
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 5: making sure that it's a really lovely place to live.

115
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: And you know, I think, like so many people around Australia,

116
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 5: I've just felt really uninspired by the current government and

117
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 5: also the alternatives. You know, Labor isn't putting forward a

118
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 5: strong enough action on climate change. So I've put my

119
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 5: hand up to give people the option to vote for

120
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 5: the climate to vote to you know, look after everyday

121
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 5: people before billionaires, and then we just tax billionaires and

122
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 5: make sure that we're looking after our people and putting

123
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 5: mental health and dental into medicare so that people can

124
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 5: access the services that they need.

125
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: Now, what do you see as being the biggest issues

126
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: in the seat of Solomon.

127
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course. So from the people that I've been

128
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,039
Speaker 5: speaking to over this election campaign, it's truly obvious that

129
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 5: climate action is number one for a lot of people.

130
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 5: You know, we've seen, you know, the devastating fires and

131
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 5: floods over the last few years, and all of these

132
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 5: events just seem to be happening more and more often

133
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: and it's really scary, and it's also really scary just

134
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: to see that there's not much being put forward to

135
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: do about it by both of the major parties. But

136
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 5: you know, the other thing that people are really concerned

137
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 5: about as well is just the cost of living at

138
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 5: the moment. You know, too many Australians are struggling to

139
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 5: keep the head above water, and too many of these

140
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: Australians are women and young people, and wages are too low,

141
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 5: and worker is insecure and housing is too expense. They're

142
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 5: particularly you know in Solomon, it has been for a

143
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 5: long time, and so it's really important that we are

144
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 5: working to make it easier for people to get by.

145
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: So I taking those issues into account, why do you

146
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: think that you and the party that you're part of

147
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: will be best place to deal with them?

148
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course. So the Greens don't take any major

149
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 5: donations from big corporations, so unlike all the other parties,

150
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 5: you can trust us to put the people first because

151
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 5: you know, we don't have these big companies lining our

152
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 5: pockets and influencing the policy that we're putting forward. So

153
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 5: we actually really do care about about looking after the

154
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: health and wellbeing of you know, Australia's population and our

155
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 5: country is it's really really important we look after that.

156
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: Now, who are you going to be preferencing.

157
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 6: Of course.

158
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 5: So we've got of course both Boat one Greens and

159
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 5: both for the climate in the future. And then at

160
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: number two we've got a big Ghosling our number three

161
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 5: teenam silent. Four we've got Tailor Self, five we've got

162
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: Kylie Banani, and then six we've got Emily from pauland

163
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: Hampson's One Nation. So we're just kind of going in

164
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 5: order of the parties that align the best with our policies,

165
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: you know, looking for a celling it at planet. But

166
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 5: also you know, I think, as a few voters down

167
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 5: it the polling booth have told me this morning, it's

168
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 5: it's pretty interesting to see a very conservative ballot being

169
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 5: put up. So you know, I think for a lot

170
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 5: of people that are looking for an alternative, it's good

171
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 5: to have the Greens in there.

172
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: Now, you've still got over a minute, or you've got

173
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: about a minute thirty left.

174
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: Why should people vote for you?

175
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 5: I think what's really important is just that you know,

176
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 5: I'm a normal person like everyone else. You know, I'm

177
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: I'm a healthcare worker, I'm a renter. I was born

178
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 5: in Zalen, so I know.

179
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 6: The struggles that every day people face, and I know

180
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 6: how hard it can be, particularly at the moment with

181
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 6: the cost of living to get by. And I think

182
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 6: people can feel really safe if voting for me, that

183
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 6: they'll be voting for climate action to keep our beautiful

184
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 6: territory and all of our beautiful environments safe and to

185
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 6: make their lives better. You know, we see so much.

186
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 5: You know, people just being really really disinterested in losing

187
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 5: a lot of hope in politics, and I think it's

188
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 5: really important to get people back engaged and realize that

189
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: the government should have the best interests of its people

190
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 5: at heart, and you know, currently they don't seem to.

191
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: And what I would say as well for everybody is

192
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 5: that your vote is really powerful. You know, if just

193
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 5: a few hundred people change their votes from the last election,

194
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 5: the Greens would be in the balance of power. And

195
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 5: in the balance of power, the Greens will kick the

196
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 5: Liberals out and push the next government to go further

197
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 5: and faster on the climate crisis, and make the billionaires

198
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 5: and big corporations pay their fair share of tax so

199
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 5: that we can get dental and mental health into medicare

200
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 5: and ensure everyone has a secure, well paid job and

201
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 5: an affordable home.

202
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: Well.

203
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: I a good rich Cartling, you've finished just on time

204
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: with five seconds to spare.

205
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: We appreciate your time.

206
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: This mo, thanks so much for chatting with us and

207
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 2: joining us on the line.

208
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: Right now.

209
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: Is the incumbent member and of course the ALP's candidate

210
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 2: for the.

211
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: Seat of Solomon, Luke Gosling. Good morning to you, Luke.

212
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 7: Good morning Katie.

213
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: Luke.

214
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: Let's get into it mate. I know that you've been

215
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: on well, so let's get into it.

216
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: Are you ready?

217
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 7: I'm ready and I'm out of isolation today, so good

218
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 7: to go.

219
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: Good stuff, all right, here we go, Luke.

220
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: Why did you put your hand up again to run

221
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: for the seat of Solomon?

222
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 7: Katie? Has been the greatest honor of my life to

223
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 7: serve the people of Darwin and Palmerson. Knowing that's a

224
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 7: short answer, but it is a fight, you know, this

225
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 7: is serious business. It's representing Darwin and Palmerson down in

226
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 7: the Federal Parliament. It's not an auditioned for an anti election.

227
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 7: It's a fight down then. We've been fighting to get

228
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 7: the coalition promises delivered. We've been fighting for better health

229
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 7: facilities and we've got that with the Palmerston Hospital and

230
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 7: the pet scanners but you're going to remember that's Scott

231
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 7: Morris and try to reduce us to one seat. So

232
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 7: it's a fight to have our voice heard down in Canberra.

233
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 7: It's a fight for territory rights. I've been fighting for veterans,

234
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 7: fighting for our small and medium enterprises as well to

235
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 7: get more of that defense contract work. Then promoting local

236
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 7: businesses as we've done with the Go Local First campaign,

237
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 7: and fighting against job Keeper being ripped away when small

238
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 7: businesses needed that support the most. So it is a

239
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 7: fight down there. But we need someone down there who's experienced,

240
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 7: whose network down there and can stand up for us

241
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 7: because we're in difficult times, increasing inflation, increasing interest rates,

242
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 7: so we need real wages to be keeping up. And

243
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 7: that's why people should support me and support federal labor,

244
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 7: because we've got fed income, plans to have more secure work,

245
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 7: less casual work, more secure work, more skills and training, investment,

246
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 7: more affordable housing, and of course social infrastructure that we

247
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 7: all know we need because the great territory lifestyle, but

248
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 7: if you can afford it, it is so we need

249
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 7: to make sure the real wages are going in the

250
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 7: right direction. And at the moment under Morrison, everything's going

251
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 7: up except for people's wages.

252
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: Looke, what do you see as being the biggest issues

253
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: in the seat of Solomon at the moment?

254
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 7: What is that cost of living? I think, Cadie one

255
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 7: hundred percent. There are other factors that people think about,

256
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 7: and you talk about a lot on your show, Katie.

257
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 7: But we need solutions. Now. That's why I'm investing in

258
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 7: this Youth Engagement center because we need solutions for our

259
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 7: young people. We need more training, more skills investment, and

260
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 7: that's going to help our young people into the jobs

261
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 7: because we need those jobs because industry is screaming out

262
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 7: for workers, so we need more secure work. But we

263
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 7: also need more of our young people trained up for

264
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 7: those jobs. So it's absolutely vital that we attack through

265
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 7: things like childcare support. Ninety six percent of territory families

266
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 7: are going to get more assistance with childcare and that

267
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 7: means that parents can if they want to get back

268
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 7: into the workforce, and that's going to help territory families.

269
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 7: It's going to help Territorians pay their bills, and that's

270
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 7: going to be a bigger challenge as time goes on.

271
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: Looke, Why do you think that you and the party

272
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: that you're part of. Will be best place to deal

273
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: with these various issues, well, is Scott Morrison.

274
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 7: The Coalition have failed over nine years. We've seen no accountability.

275
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 7: They don't want to be held accountable. They don't want

276
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 7: an IKAC and the colp can even said that the

277
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 7: other day. Scott Morrison likes it exactly the.

278
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 5: Way it is.

279
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 7: Of course he does, because they're rauting. They're using taxpayer

280
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 7: money like it's liberal paying money. It's not. It's money

281
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 7: that belongs to the Australian people that they work hard

282
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 7: for and they pay their taxes. So they want services.

283
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 7: So when there's promises made, they want it delivered. The

284
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 7: only way that you get delivery from Canberra is if

285
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 7: you've got a strong voice down there fighting. So that

286
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 7: is simply what I'm putting to people is that I

287
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 7: have been fighting for them down in camera and I'll

288
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 7: continue to do so if they give me their support.

289
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: Look a bit over a minute and twenty seconds to go,

290
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: who are you going to be preferencing?

291
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 7: It's very simple on the form that they'll get how

292
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 7: to vote form Katie one for Luke Gosling and then

293
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,239
Speaker 7: we're going up up the card two and three, Kylie Bernandi,

294
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 7: it's a shame that some of the candidates haven't been

295
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 7: able to have a chat with you, and you wonder

296
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 7: how serious they are about this business. But I just

297
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 7: go to the fact, Katie, that it is a serious business.

298
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 7: On your show, you talk about territory issues a lot.

299
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 7: Eighty percent of the funding that the territory has come

300
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 7: from the Commonwealth, So we need a strong voice in camera,

301
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 7: an albaneathy labor government. If people haven't seen the debates yet,

302
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 7: I suggest they have a look at the debates just

303
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 7: to have a look at what the differences are, and

304
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 7: they are stark. Cost of living is going to continue

305
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 7: to be a problem. Scott Morrison's fallen asleep on this watch.

306
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 7: We even heard a COLP candidate on yours this morning

307
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 7: Katie said that they were an average territory, and we'll

308
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 7: average territorians aren't on two hundred plus grand a year.

309
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 7: They're just not. They're struggling with the cost of living.

310
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 7: They need all the help that they can get and

311
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 7: that is what we're offering is scheduled labor, whether it's

312
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 7: cheaper childcare or a focus on skills and training for

313
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 7: those jobs in the future. But also more secure work

314
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 7: and less of this casualization that's seen people's wages go backward.

00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: Let's go, Tina.

333
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 2: Why did you put your hand up to run for

334
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: the seat of Solomon.

335
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: Because I can do better. Solomon residents need a strong

336
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 4: and vocal local MP, connecting business and residence with government

337
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 4: and actually seeking an offering solutions. A local member that

338
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: has business experience and an understanding perspective and driven representation

339
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 4: and the top ends needs and that needs to be

340
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 4: directly into Canberra. I've been out there, I've worked hard

341
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 4: all my life and I wanted that to translate. I

342
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 4: want to give back to the terrorory what the territory

343
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 4: is given to me, and we need a local member

344
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: that's experienced the ups and downs, the hardship and they're

345
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 4: in touch with the community and the electric I'm out

346
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 4: drawn off nearly every day and speaking to businesses and

347
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 4: residents and I'm finding out what's important to them. That's

348
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: territories and that's why they should support me in this election.

349
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: Tina, what do you see as being the biggest issues

350
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 2: in the seat of Solomon.

351
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: Look, there's a.

352
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 4: Lot of issues that The thing coming through again again

353
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 4: is law and order, the cost of living, aged care

354
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 4: is also really raising its head a lot, and cyber

355
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 4: safety for our children. That's been the fun of people's minds.

356
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 4: When I'm talking to people and drawn off in businesses

357
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 4: and residents, I recognize law and order and anti social

358
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 4: behavior in the NP. It is the worst it's ever been.

359
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 4: I've been here thirty five years and I've just never

360
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 4: seen anything like it. The rising cost of living that's

361
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 4: huge issues because obviously, you know, we all know we've

362
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 4: got increased fuel costs, even though the my Some government

363
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 4: has returning twenty two in exercise to the next six months.

364
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 4: I think it is. And the other very important issue,

365
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 4: as I said earlier, was the lack of age care facilities.

366
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: As people are getting older. There's been thirty or forty

367
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 4: place has been allocated to the NT and the Labor

368
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 4: government's been sitting on their hands and they haven't tended

369
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 4: that out. There's residents that live here. They don't want

370
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: to go south, they don't want their families to move,

371
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 4: They want to stay out here. They love the territory

372
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 4: and this is where they've you know, this is where

373
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 4: they want to remain, stay home and territory. Labor's absolutely

374
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 4: failed in so many of these areas, I mean, the

375
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 4: law and order and crime. It's just phenomenal. I mean,

376
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: Luke's been the members since feeling nothing has been achieved,

377
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 4: has simply got worse and worse for worse it's ever been.

378
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: Tina, why do you think that you and the party

379
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 2: that you're huddle will be best place to deal with

380
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: these issues?

381
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 4: Well, like territorians, well know, with convictions work and Grett

382
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 4: absolutely anything is possible. I've been in business for thirty years,

383
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 4: so I understand the challenges based by local businesses and

384
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 4: by people in the community. I've been involved in local government,

385
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 4: community organizations, non for profit. I've been out there listening

386
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: to the locals over the last twelve months, and i

387
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 4: understand the challenges that are facing them. Like territorians, I'm

388
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: tired of spit self interested elect federal elected members. Should

389
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 4: residents place their trust in me and I'm successful, I'll

390
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 4: keenly embrace the opportunity with both hands. I'll consistently step

391
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 4: up with vigor, stamina and pride, ensuring the NT is

392
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 4: heard and the front of mind within the Federal Parliament

393
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 4: and can us. We need to really show camera that

394
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 4: there is unique things up here and we do need

395
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: them to step up and really address a lot of

396
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 4: the issues that are concerning territory in Tina.

397
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: We've got about a minute and five seconds left. Firstly, preferences.

398
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: Who are you going to be preferencing?

399
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 4: Firstly, we are pressing Kyli Banani the Liberal Democrats, and

400
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 4: then we follow I'm pretty sure, Gosh, I don't have

401
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 4: that in front of me where we go the Liberal Democrats,

402
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 4: then the Pauline Hanson's Party, and then calm Unite that's

403
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: the Labor then.

404
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 2: The Greens now just finally Tina, why should people vote

405
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: for you?

406
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 4: Because I can work hard and I can do better

407
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,959
Speaker 4: And as I said, you know, I have been in

408
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 4: the territory for thirty five years. I know and understand

409
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 4: what territoriums need. I'm out there, I'm listening, I'm on

410
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 4: the ground. I think so many politicians really don't take

411
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 4: the time to listen and talk to the businesses, talk

412
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 4: to the people on the ground. And it's not just

413
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 4: about talking to them, it's actually listening and then feeding

414
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 4: that back in. That's got to feedback into the community

415
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 4: and our parliamentarians down in Canberra. We need to really

416
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 4: have a.

417
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Lowed tho we have run out of time.

418
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 2: Tina McFarland, the COLP candidate for the seat of Solomon,

419
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,359
