1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Now joining me in the studio is the Lord Mayor

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: of Darwin, Convat Scarlets.

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: Good morning to u Khn.

4
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 3: Good morning Katy, and we're heading for a very very

5
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 3: busy weekend. Like the last weekend, I certainly we Sison

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: when everything happens. And this weekend actually say Sunday for

7
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 3: fourth and Monday the fifth, we've got a big event

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 3: in Darwick.

9
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 4: We've got the Darwin in the National dragon Boats.

10
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: We will go to that in just a minute, con

11
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: but I'm keen to catch up with you first and

12
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: ask a few questions about this situation with the r

13
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: V park because it's something that we've spoken about quite

14
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: a bit. And the results of the City of Darwin survey,

15
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: which was filled out as I understand it, by about

16
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: five hundred and twenty four people, it revealed a small

17
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: majority are against the temporary development.

18
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: Can you tell me those numbers?

19
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 4: Are you surprised?

20
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: I am not, especially when the local never run a

21
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: campaign asking all Locker residents to vote against it. Now,

22
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: one thing I have to remind this area does not

23
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: belong to the local residence, only belong to all the

24
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: people of Darwi. Now, it was the local rangers that

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 3: the local resident was complaining bitterly about the social behavior

26
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: or criminal behavior, as Deabie mentioned before, and they wanted

27
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: something to be done, and the government put a lot

28
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: of money to put the patrol. So here comes up

29
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 3: council that says, well, the better ways of actually controlling

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: social behavior by activating the area so the riff raff

31
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: will move, And the local member says, no, that's not

32
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: a good idea. I don't like it, so let's all

33
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: vote against it now. Of course, if you look at

34
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: today's and the news and their gallop, I think there

35
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: was only one message there against it from Rosemary, who

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 3: says she doesn't like it, but she wants theirteeners to

37
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: be moved.

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 4: First of all, we propose a trial, let's try something.

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: Do it.

40
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: Well, this is.

41
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Where I am at. I actually think, why not Key?

42
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: Is something else to god a situation? Well, we've got

43
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: a situation right now with it's nothing happening down there,

44
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a beautiful spoush And I know

45
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: not everybody's going to agree with that. But if we've

46
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: got a small number of aves down there, if there

47
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: is actually the infrastructure there that's you know, that's able

48
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: to support them being there is there a way that

49
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: we can do it. Give it a trial, see if

50
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: it works. If it's a playful situation.

51
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: You don't do it again, Causing it's not that we're

52
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: actually putting four hundred r v's in the park. We're

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: proposing a small scale trial for a period of time

54
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 3: to find out if it works. We have to try something.

55
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: We can't just sit a answers. It can't be done.

56
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: It's too difficult, put into too difficult basket. Now, let's

57
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: try something to see if it works.

58
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: So corn, is it going to go to a vote

59
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: tonight or what's the process? Now?

60
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: Councils going to consider it tonight. There are thirty councils,

61
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: are thirteen different opinions. They're going to consider it again.

62
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: I'm not going to predict hard we'll go. It might

63
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: be lost, it might be in and be a go.

64
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: But again my thing is, guys, come down, it's a trial.

65
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 3: We have to try something. If we try and succeed,

66
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: I'll bet you you're not going to come out it's

67
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: a great idea. You're going to stay very quiet like

68
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: you did with a cafe in night. But if it

69
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: does work, the councils says Okay, it didn't work. Let's

70
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: see what else can we do to do to activate

71
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: the place and bring more people there. The reality is

72
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 3: you bring cars, you bring people, you build action in

73
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: a place, and all of a sudden things disappear. We've

74
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: seen that before and we'll see it again. Every time

75
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: we do something that brings more people in an area,

76
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: all the raft disappear.

77
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 4: Yes, it displays the problem.

78
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: I know that the problem is not going to be

79
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 3: solved unless tough government action is taken to control crime,

80
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: to control alcohol, and to put sent people back to country.

81
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: Do you think the government's doing enough right now with

82
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: those three areas they're trying.

83
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: The message again from the Chief Minister is that yes,

84
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: they want to work with us to do it, and I'm.

85
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: Very thankful for that.

86
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: For example, we sign on a memorand of understanding with

87
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: correct corrections to give us lot of security prisoners to

88
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 3: clean the area around. I met yesterday with a police

89
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: commissioner who told me that they work very actively. They've

90
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: got patrols on the street and I heard the keyboards

91
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: community policing first time after a long long time. Looks

92
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 3: like Mike Murphy gets it that community policing is the

93
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 3: secret to actually address the product we face today.

94
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: Well, let's see if we do see some change in

95
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: this space. But just to go back to those RvEs.

96
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: So we'll need to go to a vote tonight and

97
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: the majority of counselors will need to vote for your head.

98
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 4: To go ahead.

99
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: We heard this morning. I heard a couple of people talking,

100
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 3: especially the president of the ski lumpses. They were supporting it.

101
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: They had some concerns about how it's going to be done.

102
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: We said the same concerns. Yes, we have to put

103
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 3: facilities there. Yes, we have to put a damp point there.

104
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: I understand that one. Yes we have to control it.

105
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: We don't want people to pack. There arevis within here

106
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 3: and they're everywhere in the park, so it's going to

107
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: be strictly controlled.

108
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: But again the keyboard is trial. We have to try.

109
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: Well, let's write and see exactly what happens tonight. I'll

110
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: be really interested to see how it.

111
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 4: All goes and how to see what happened and.

112
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: If it is for how quickly could it get up

113
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: and running.

114
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: Well, we have to find somebody we to operate it.

115
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: We have to see how we're going to do it.

116
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: We're not going to go just there here, we've what yes,

117
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: come and parking where you like. If he has to

118
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: be done properly, because the last thing we want is

119
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: to fail because we didn't do it.

120
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean the dry seasons here though right now, So

121
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: if you already got somebody in mind who might be

122
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: able to run it given the fact that we're literally

123
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: we had.

124
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 3: A lot of people saying that we would like to

125
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 3: do it. Let's see who wants to do it again

126
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: under string conditions and council supervision, and if it walks

127
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: this year, we might actually run another one next year

128
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: to see how effective can be.

129
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: Con a couple of listener questions we did get people

130
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: get in contact with us after attending the soccer on

131
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: the weekend at the suburban grounds in the Kara saying

132
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: that parking offices were booking people who are on the

133
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: sidewalks or on that area to the side. Why is

134
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: the council doing that, especially on a weekend. I mean

135
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of parking there, only along the street.

136
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 2: It's is it revenue raising?

137
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 4: No, because we receive complaints from residents.

138
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: I'd love the people block drivewayst or the parking places

139
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 3: where they should be parking in yellow lines, they're parking

140
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: on gruss areas, parking or on foot paths. We'll receive

141
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 3: the same complaints when we've got markets in Nightcliff, or

142
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: if the same complaints when we've got park markets in Perrupt.

143
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 3: So it's generated by complaints by the local residents.

144
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: Now they do with us. We don't want to rast money,

145
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: we want to accommodate.

146
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: Could you just give people a warning rather than a fine?

147
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 4: Well, the problem is they know that they know it's

148
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: a yellow light.

149
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: What more warning do you do you need if you

150
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: need there's a non parking stop, if there's a driveway,

151
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: if it's a bus stop, do you need really more warning?

152
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: Can you see it that you should be parking there?

153
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 3: I mean common sense hard?

154
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: I guess like I wasn't there on the weekend. I

155
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: was at Baggett, so I don't know. It's actually I

156
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: was at the Portuguese club, so I can't even I

157
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: can't speak for those that were at Nakara, but I

158
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: do know that it can be very difficult on those

159
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: days when soccer is happening at various different locations, because

160
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: you've got such a high volume of people participating in

161
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: kids taking part and there's bugger all parks in some locations.

162
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: No, there is plenty of parking.

163
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: It's not. Actually there's not. When it's full, there's not parks.

164
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: Have you been there on a Sunday and saying how

165
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: many people there?

166
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 4: Coch? Yes, I do. Actually in Nakara used to be

167
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: my elector.

168
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: And there's not a lot of parks around.

169
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 4: Parking there that people park on the streets.

170
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: Now we have discussed that one with the sport people,

171
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: the soccer groups. They agree with us, they want to

172
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: see proper parking. But people and I've seen it again,

173
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: and I've said in the city sometimes where people decided,

174
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: well it's a park, I'm entitled to park on it.

175
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 4: No you're not.

176
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: But do you know sometimes there is literally just people

177
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: parked on the side of the road and they're parked

178
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: on the side of the road, or they're parked in

179
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: an area in the car park that's maybe up on

180
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: one of the nature strips in the car park area,

181
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: and they're getting in trouble for that kind of thing

182
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: as well.

183
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: You're not allowed to park on a native or the

184
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: natural strip. You're not allowed to on a footpath. You're

185
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: not allowed to park on parks. You're allowed to park

186
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: on streets. And none of these people that they park

187
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: on the streets got to find. Obviously the people got

188
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: to find they didn't obey the roads.

189
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: So people can expect if they're taking the kids to

190
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: soccer on a Sunday morning, if you're not parked in

191
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: the correct areas, expect to find that.

192
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: Happens everywhere, not only in your The same thing a

193
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: plaster bago. If somebody decides to park on the native

194
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: strip next to the trial road, you're going to be fine.

195
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: You're created a car park there.

196
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Bag it other car parks a little bit smaller than

197
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: what they were previously.

198
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 4: No, actually it's bigger, bigger.

199
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: We put bigger bit because we remove quite a few

200
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: trees and we're rearranged again. We never close car parks down. Instead,

201
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 3: we actually want to make it bigger and bag baggots.

202
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Typical exact as in added more car parks in or

203
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: cars parks.

204
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 4: Rearranging, rearranging it.

205
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: It's exactly the same size, but by removing a lot

206
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: of trees you can provide a few more cast casts.

207
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: Are the car spaces the same size? I know I'm

208
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: getting it.

209
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: By Australian standards.

210
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: They have to We can't just engine because you've got

211
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 3: a big four ward drive. This is the Australian standards

212
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 3: we have.

213
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 4: To comply with.

214
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: Corn Now, a big event this weekend, as you've touched on,

215
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: we've sort of mentioned it a couple of times over

216
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, but a massive event with the

217
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: dragon boat racing. It's coming to the Northern Territory, the

218
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: dragon Boat Festival. It's on Sunday. Tell us what we

219
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: can expect.

220
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: Well, you know very well, we've got a big Chinese

221
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: community in Darwin and there was a tradition to have

222
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 3: a dragon board races every year. Now COVID disrupted a bit,

223
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: but this year we've got a coup We managed to

224
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: get money from the Federal government, then other territory major

225
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 3: events and the Foundation for Australia China Relationship and we

226
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 3: organize not only any international dragon boat festival.

227
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 4: But actually a trade show.

228
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: So we invited all our sisters and friendly shipies around us,

229
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: around the region Southeast Asia. So we have people from

230
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: Balik coming, Coupang are coming, people from Qin Tao in China,

231
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: brim from Quanjo in China and they will participate the

232
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: dragon Board races against Australian teams. And then on Monday,

233
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: we've got a trade so which all our sister cities

234
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: are going to do presentations, what they produce, what are

235
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: the trade opportunities we have with them, and we display

236
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: our own trade opportunities to them. Because there's no better

237
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: way to get some to know somebody really well. But

238
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 3: commercial exchanges, we had a lot of interest. We actually

239
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: had interest from local people who found out about it.

240
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 3: Says I didn't know anything about it. Can I get information?

241
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: I'd like to display my trades so there and we

242
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 3: actually accommodate them.

243
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: How many involved you reckon? How many that the show?

244
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: For example?

245
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: To tell you the truth, we started very small and

246
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: now it's getting bigger than We've got a huge delegation

247
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 3: from Bali. We've got a big delegation from Kwanzo. We

248
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 3: have a big delegation from Chintown. Now the thing with

249
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: Kwanjoy is really good because what I'm trying to do now,

250
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: I'm trying to find a way to bring back the

251
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: Chinese aligne used to fly to Dow. It's very difficult

252
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 3: to fly out of Darwin to Asy. It's only Jet

253
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: Style flies to Bali and only the Singapore Airline flies

254
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 3: to Singapore. And try to get a ticket to Singapore,

255
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 3: It's very difficult unless you prepare to pay business classes.

256
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: So you're trying to sort of rally to see if

257
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: we can get a flysh.

258
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: We get help from Quanjoys and Jen to bring back

259
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 3: that airline to Dowy. They open now they want to

260
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: trade with Australia, but we know we've got flights to

261
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: other capital seats in Australia if we can get one

262
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: here first of all with help us at locals. Second,

263
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: the Universe tried to bring foreign students and one of

264
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: their markets China.

265
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 4: It's only five hours from China, Dowy. Think about it.

266
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: If people can fly with five.

267
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 3: Hours to Darwin instead of ten and eleven down south,

268
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: we can bring too.

269
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Do you reckon they became Do you think that they'll

270
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: be king to get that route going again?

271
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 2: Was it very popular last time round?

272
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 4: Well, they did really.

273
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: Well last time and if it was not for COVID,

274
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 3: it would be still flying. The article going to Hainan

275
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: and Hai Court speaking to a principle of a small

276
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: high school. We had seven thousand students. When they find

277
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: out we had an airline flight to Darwin five hours

278
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: only and nowin actually it's multicultural, they were very excited.

279
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: He says, why would they know about it? Well, we

280
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: want to go and tell them about it, and I'd

281
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: love to go together with the territory government, try to

282
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: entice the airline back and more trade with China. Does

283
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: matter what happened the political level. We had a very

284
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 3: good relationship with regards to trade and mining and things

285
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: coming to Australia, and we want to bring more tourists.

286
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: We are going to have to wrap up.

287
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: Tell us if people want to head along to the

288
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: dragon Boat Racing, what time do they need to get there.

289
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: Have a look at our website because you know we

290
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: say we'll start eight o'clock or nine o'clock. The reality

291
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: we never start in time because there's so many things happen.

292
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: It's typical Dowin. But have a look at our website.

293
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 3: It will give you all the information when and where

294
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: to be. It will be down at the waterfront and

295
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: we're going to start very early in the morning eight o'clock.

296
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: I'm going to dot the eyes of the dragon in

297
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: the boats and from there on we'll.

298
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 4: Start the races.

299
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,880
