00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: are those most important issues.

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: Our most important issue is a parking is a very

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: very annoying community and we need to support local business

28
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: for the parking fee for all the worker and the

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: owner of the of the business people especially they're very

30
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: very struggling, especially for tourism physitor. When they come to

31
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: down and to visit our city, they're currently to buy

32
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: the parking and they get the ticket and they're very

33
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: annoying and they say to me, oh, I mean I

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: can't come back anymore because Darwin is a too much

35
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: trouble for parking.

36
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: And I mean obviously parking is an issue or not,

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: it's something I've heard as well. What else do you

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: see some of those big issues around Darwin that we

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: need to deal with.

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I already listened so many candidate bring back the

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: basic issue about foot path, uh, street everything, crime, everything.

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: But in my in my agenda, I like to bring

43
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: back the residents to the city. Uh same as Alosa

44
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,160

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,720

Speaker 2: Yeah, free parking and I like wrote write rubbish and

54
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: accountability by council. We need to look at this because

55
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: community consultation is very important in disguise because our Dowen

56
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: is our community and our family. Like now I works

Speaker 2: very important to bring back our economy in Dowin.

62
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean one of the questions we're asking all the

63
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: candidates is whether they've been a member of a political

64
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,560
