1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: You are listening to mix one O four nine's three

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: sixty and it's been a little while. I haven't seen

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: him for a few weeks. But joining me in the

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: studio is the Lord Mayor of Darwin convat Scarlets.

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: Goodboarding Court morning, Katy.

6
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 3: I don't blame you. You have kids, young kids. You have

7
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 3: to spend time with them. It was called holidays. You

8
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 3: have to actually spend some.

9
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: Time to have a bit of a break. There is

10
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: no doubt about that.

11
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: And I was traveling. I actually had a number of

12
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 3: travels to do. Capital of travels. Recently I went down

13
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 3: to Melbourne. It was the Council of Lord Mayor's. We

14
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: had a big meeting. We've got a meeting every twice

15
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: or three times a year talking about what effects are

16
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 3: capital cities crime, lack of public housing, people refusing to

17
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: come back to work in the center, they want to

18
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: work from home. Public housing was a big issue. And

19
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: also government's passing the back to local government, trying to

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 3: make them become the law enforcement agents while the government's

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: got the police.

22
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 4: It happens not only the territory, but happens every week.

23
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, good news is next year we had the Chair

24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: everybody's looking forward to come to Darwin for the meetings.

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 4: We're going to hear.

26
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: It'll be good. It'll be good to have it here.

27
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: On that.

28
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: Now, on these issues that you spoke about then, in

29
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: terms of the crime and anti social behavior, we now

30
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: obviously know the Northern Territory government made the announcement earlier

31
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: in the week no changes to bail and well, yeah,

32
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: no changes when it comes to the bail review that

33
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: was conducted.

34
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: A couple of minor things like.

35
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: The machete now being machete and also access being included,

36
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: but no significant change when it comes to, you know,

37
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: to an extension of our bail. They did, however, announce

38
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: that there is going to be these changes, so Northern

39
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: Territory police are going to have stronger powers to stop

40
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: and search individuals for knives and other weapons are more

41
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: fully possessed in public places. Corn, you and I have

42
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: spoken on so many occasions about the issues with crime

43
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: and anti social behavior.

44
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: What do you make of these announcements?

45
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 4: Usually winge and complain.

46
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: By this time, I will not complain about the position

47
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: of the guver. It's a good decision give more power

48
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: to the police to search people. Now people are carrying

49
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: a Swiss pocket knife, they're not going to worry. But

50
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: the people actually carry marchetti or any sharp weapon should

51
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: be worried. I had other mayors around the territory telling

52
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: me they're really worried about young people ordering machetter online

53
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: and they get it from interstate and they're going around

54
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 3: on at night with machete. Now, any decent person it

55
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 3: won't going around carrying a samurai should or a machete

56
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: or a big knife. Obviously they're going to be mischief.

57
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: Thank God for that. The police now has the powers

58
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: and going to actually stop you and search you and

59
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: you can.

60
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: Argue about it. And if you carry them a knife

61
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 4: in the middle of the night, you're an idiot.

62
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Con The governments obviously also announced these different areas, so

63
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: there are sixteen of these areas that are regarded to

64
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: be high risk. They include Karama Precinct, perhaps Fanny Bay, Bundilla, Beach, Leanya,

65
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: Stuart Park, Marara, Malac, Nightcliff and the Nightcliff Foreshore, and

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: also include all CBD districts.

67
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: Across the Northern Territory.

68
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: So quite a few of those falling under the Council's

69
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: realm in terms of them being precincts that are in

70
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: your municipality. Have you got much further detail about how

71
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: extensive those precincts are actually.

72
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 4: I would like to see it throughout the territory full stop.

73
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: But I'm very very pleased they actually declare these areas

74
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: are areas of interest. We know what happens in Karama,

75
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: we know very well what's happening in some of the

76
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 3: suburbs in Palmerston, and we know very well what's happening

77
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: in Vandilla and other places.

78
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: So please go for it.

79
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: You've got my full support, Like if you're the full

80
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: support of most of people downing, apart from the usual windsors.

81
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: That doesn't matter what the Gavin does, it does not

82
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: they'll find a way to complain.

83
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: Have you been have you been briefed on it yet?

84
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: I've got regular meetings with the acting Commissioner. I have

85
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: to give it him that he's meeting with us, and

86
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: he's very very good in what he's doing. And I'm

87
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: very pleased to see police on the streets again, which

88
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: said big chance.

89
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: From what was before. Keep going like that and you

90
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: have a full.

91
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Support, So con you sound like you're pretty hopeful and

92
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: pretty positive that this will make a positive difference.

93
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: I said to you before, if you're caught by the

94
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: offensive weapons, you're going to be in trouble. Why you

95
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: want to be in trouble. So also it gives the

96
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 3: towice the confidence we can go to Mitchell Street at

97
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: night without being assaulted, without being threatened because the police

98
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: will be around to be checking the people carrying offensive weapons.

99
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: Now, con I do want to ask you about about

100
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: the forty kilometers speed limits. You and I had spoken

101
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: about this before when it was before it was coming

102
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: into effect. So those speed limits in and by the

103
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: look of it, as soon going to be slashed.

104
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: Down to forty kilometers per hour.

105
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: It's in a bit obviously to keep the CBD safe

106
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: and livable. Now it comes after sixty four percent of

107
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: respondents in a council survey voted in favor of the reduction.

108
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: Did many people take part in that survey?

109
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: I have good exact numbers, but slash is not the

110
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: right world that will use We go from fifty to forty,

111
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: so it's not going from one hundred to forty. The

112
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: other thing is we already got forty kilometers per hour

113
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: in Mitchell Street and most of the Kavana Street and

114
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: this main street is forty because you've got school there.

115
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: It's not going to make any difference. For the same reason,

116
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: because have you actually driven the CBD. If you drive

117
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 3: in CBD, you do more than forty five kilometers. You're

118
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: speeding most.

119
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: Time, you going pretty slowly because you need to change it,

120
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: like you kind of go what's the point in changing

121
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: it if everyone's doing the right thing anyway?

122
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: Two reasons you standardize, it's rather the thing going up

123
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 3: and down, up and down. Sometimes people forget and their

124
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: speed throughout school zones. The second is we've tried to

125
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: encourage people, the businesses to start putting some packlets in

126
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: outside of their premises. We already seen one nine mets

127
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 3: Street fifty kilometers and forty kilometers and now it make

128
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: a hell of a difference if you've got an accident,

129
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: and the statistics show that is more likely survive if

130
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: you hit by a car doing forty kilo an r

131
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: and below or car fifty kilometer.

132
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: Has it been much feedback, like have there been many

133
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: people kind of pushing back going and on the sec

134
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: this seems like it's a waste of money.

135
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: No, this is because there's not a waste of money.

136
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: Presumably you've got to change the signage and that kind

137
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: of thing.

138
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: Well, there will be only a very minimal change. We're

139
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: talking about the CBD. We're talking about Mitchell Street, Nike Street,

140
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: Cavanah Street and all the way down to Daily Street.

141
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: So if you turn left on those streets you know

142
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: very well entering.

143
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: So why do it include the Esplanade, Bennett Herbert Straight

144
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: some of those others.

145
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 3: There are figures on biggers like mcmin Street, the esplant

146
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 3: Actually you don't have the schools, you don't have the

147
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: outdoor eateries and everything else.

148
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: So I'm not going to change the O.

149
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: So you're not changing nice not in the Esplanad.

150
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: No, I'm not going to change for the sake of change.

151
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 3: That's the speed limit. I'm going to change where it

152
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: really matters. World will make a difference.

153
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: So it does sound as though there's still a little

154
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: bit of work to happen here. When are those speed

155
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: limits actually going.

156
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: To change over?

157
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 3: We actually have got a plan to do it, not

158
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 3: immediately because we have to give people dumb to you,

159
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 3: but by October November would be in place.

160
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: Okay, now, con last time you and I caught up. Well,

161
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: it was around Territory Day and the toilets out there

162
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: at East Point had been blown up. You'd said it

163
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: was going to cost around one hundred and fifty grand.

164
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: Where is that? Ask?

165
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: Thank god it was not as bad as I thought

166
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: it was. Our damage estimates about twelve thousand dollars.

167
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: Twelve thousand, which is great, oh Chase.

168
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: Great, that gives me more money to spend another more

169
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: significant place. So they're going to be repaired as soon

170
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 3: as possible.

171
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: It's great that. Look, these is a bit besides.

172
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: The amount of money, and it's so wrong.

173
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: We assume that it was a big damage also the structure,

174
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 3: but thankfully there was not. The good thing is the

175
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: amount of money is small, but the stupidia the people

176
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: that did it is big.

177
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: So it's still twelve thousand dollars, but it's less lively or.

178
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: A child et c or a playground.

179
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: At the moment it's going to go to repair something

180
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: that should happen, and somebody thought it was a good idea,

181
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: but no, it wasn't.

182
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: Done by day and so what was sort of damage

183
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 2: just the toilets.

184
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 3: Structuring There was no damage, which was good if there

185
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 3: was a structure damage.

186
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: We will probably go to the hundreds of thousands, but

187
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 4: it was not. It was only the tallest.

188
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: Well, that is good news.

189
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: And before you ask me, I'll tell you something else.

190
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 3: So you're going to ask me about the parking and

191
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: the CBD.

192
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 4: And you know a lot of people said me, oh,

193
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: there's putting parking the CBD. Well, I asked, how.

194
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: What's the real story there is? We've got two and

195
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: a half thousand parking spaces around the CBD. Only seventy

196
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: nine will be affected in is going out. Yes, seventy

197
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: nine parking on the street on the CBD. At the

198
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: same time, the off street multi story car park would

199
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: be still free on Saturday, and so it would be

200
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: zoned B and C. So I know people complaining every

201
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: time something changes, but guys.

202
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: To a half need for it. You know what you

203
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: need to seventeen.

204
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: Retailers that actually they've got people.

205
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 3: Usually Friday night people go out and if they have

206
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: a few drinks, do the right thing. They don't drive home,

207
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: but they park the cars in the CBD and then

208
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: the ten up three o'clock, four o'clock in the afternoon

209
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: to pick them up.

210
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 4: That means all the car parks are blocked.

211
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 1: Did you speak to many of the retailers before you

212
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: made that change though, because reason? I took a couple

213
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,599
Speaker 1: of them afterwards, and they said they were sort of

214
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: surprised by the change.

215
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 4: Well, some of the retailer spoke to us said, that's

216
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 4: why we did it.

217
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: We didn't think it was a great idea because the

218
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: last thing we need is actually having people inspecting cars

219
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: and on Saturday and pay for it. Some of the

220
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 3: retailer says they rely on people coming turn over on

221
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 3: the cars. If somebody parks in front of their shop,

222
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: you know, all morning, they don't get anybody because people

223
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 3: don't park, they just go somewhere else.

224
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: Can I do just want to put a quick question

225
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: to you from one of our listeners that said, Hi, Katie,

226
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm hoping you can help me. There seems to be

227
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: a problem behind the Carepoint Medical Center. There seems to

228
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: be a huge rubbish problem that no one wants to

229
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: take responsibility for. There are people that seem to spend

230
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: time there and leave the area in a disgraceful state

231
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: of contacted counselor, they say it's the owner of the

232
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: car parks responsibility. Also Bob Jane tires at carepoint. No

233
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: one seems to know anything, and Helen said she is

234
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: just concerned about that area.

235
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly where that is.

236
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: I'll find out, but I said to you, if it's

237
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: a private property, we can't enter it without permission.

238
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 4: However, as would it be very again, you remember.

239
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: Very well when one old car car dealership became a

240
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: heaven for retinerants.

241
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 4: We approached the owner.

242
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: He didn't respond the first letter, but when he got

243
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: the second letter and told him how much could cost

244
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: for us clean for him, he immediately cleaned and bought it.

245
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: And now I think you've got a beautiful out of

246
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: fast fast food outlet and a petrol station there. It's

247
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: a responsibility for people to maintain their property clean. If

248
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: you don't, we'll do it for you, but we're going

249
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: to charge her.

250
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: It's a bit more country con before I let you go.

251
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: We do know that we've got a huge Greek population

252
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: here in Darwin, and of course so many people, so

253
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: many family and friends in Greece for a lot of territorians.

254
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: Terrible situation continues to unfold in roads in Greece. Those

255
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: fires burning since last Wednesday, the evacuation of around nineteen

256
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: thousand people over the weekend, as well as an inferno

257
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: reached coastal resorts on other islands southeast on the island

258
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: southeastern coast. And what are people telling you, I mean

259
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: to your family and friends over there.

260
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: Well, I've got family. My mother and my sister lived there.

261
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 3: I call them regularly. They told me that actually the

262
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: temperature reached forty three degrees in Athens. It's not only roads, unfortunately,

263
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: it's actually throughout Greece because it's been a very dry summer,

264
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: very hot summer. And unfortunately there are some idiots again

265
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: that actually set alight some of the forests for their

266
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: own reasons, some of them because they want to illegally

267
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 3: occupy land after it's clean from the forest, because I

268
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: can't do it when it's a forest. Rhads has been

269
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 3: of course in the forefront because there were thousands of

270
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: tourists there. Summertime in Greece, everybody from Europe is going

271
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: to Greece and other places to have holidays. The problem

272
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: is gris today mark my words, tomorrow, Bitaly and then

273
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 3: would be Spain. The hot water continues annabated. It's really

274
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: really hot they will predicting forty six degrees temperature and

275
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,599
Speaker 3: when you've got and the other thing, of course is

276
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: the vegetation. Some of the vegetation and gris are very flammable.

277
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 3: You've got pine trees, They're fantastic to survive dry conditions,

278
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: but when the fire comes they virtually explode and throw

279
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 3: branches and sparks everywhere. The other thing, of course is

280
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: they're not as well equipped and well you like we are.

281
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: We've got fire breaks, we've got cold burns here the

282
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 3: place where I grew up, the suburbs.

283
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 4: The mail is my friend. I send him an email.

284
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: I said him, do these to this, to this, and

285
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,239
Speaker 3: I was very pleased to see in Facebook a photograph.

286
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: He have three fire fighting trucks, He's got a lot

287
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 3: of volunteers. He was very prepared because there's a big

288
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: mountain with the trees behind our suburbs. Thankfully it has

289
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 3: been affected. They have to start thinking the way we're

290
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: thinking here and learn from others. Fire breaks, be prepared,

291
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 3: cold burns that would use the fuel that comes in

292
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: the forest, and that will save a lot of the forests.

293
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: Combat scarlets.

294
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Good to speak to you as always, Thanks so much

295
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: for your time this morning, My pleatsle kick
