00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: Joining us in the studio right now is the Lord

00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Mayor of Darwin convat Scarlets.

Speaker 2: Good morning to you Khan, Good morning.

4
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 3: And I think the dry is nearly here.

5
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Well I thought that on Monday when I went for

6
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: a long run out there at East Point, but then

7
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: bye today it's telling me on the news or on

8
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: the weather that we might have a slight chance of

9
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: a shower.

10
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 4: Well wet in Juneau. Come on, but it looks like

11
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 4: it's here. Let's getting better.

12
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's hope.

13
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: So it is lovely weather now, conn We know that

14
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Darwin oldhaman Justine Glover has obviously resigned from council just

15
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: eight months after being re elected to that role. It

16
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: is going to trigger, as I understand, a municipal by election,

17
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: and comes in the aftermath of some senior staff leaving council.

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: We caught up with Justin Glover on the show yesterday.

19
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: She said that it was a really tough decision for her,

20
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: but cited that need to get some work life balance

21
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: back into her life. Are you disappointed to see her go?

22
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 4: Yes, I am disappointed. Just In wrung me and told

23
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 4: me he had decision and I fully understand. She explained, to me,

24
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 4: there isn't kind it. And look, I can tell you

25
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: it is really hard sometimes trying to manage your personal life,

26
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: your elected member's life and job. And you know just

27
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 4: seems working in a very serious senior job in the

28
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 4: Palmerston Hostel. She's got her own family life and I

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 4: would like to thank her personally and publicly for all

30
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 4: the worker has is done for. I know her for

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 4: two terms, the previous term and this term. I understand

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 4: she was before then and she was always coming up

33
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 4: with ideas. I mean, one of her great ideas which

34
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 4: actually became a reality was the community garden in Kroma.

35
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: Another thing I have to say is when I was.

36
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: Elected and I realized that for a long time the

37
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 4: northern suburb was neglected, and I put forward that normal

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: money for the CBD or not the money we used

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: to spend the CBD. It's time to spend money in

40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: northern suburbs. She was a great supporter of that one.

41
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: So corn it does mean that there's going to be

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: a by election trigger in.

43
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: The new Act within four months. We have to have

44
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: by elections. Now. I saw the comments in some media outlets.

45
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: Now about the senior staff living well I'm looking around

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: my office.

47
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: I haven't lost anything your.

48
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: Stuff, but I've lost to explain and I.

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 3: Know very well why he left.

50
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: I mean, when you've got a family in Queensland and

51
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: you're here and your family needs you, I mean you

52
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 4: will leave. Other people live because they got better opportunities.

53
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: And top of you seeing your staff obviously Scott Waters

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: and also and.

55
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 4: Josh went and he got a really big job down

56
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 4: in your southwest, close to his family.

57
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: Again, it was a combination of promotion.

58
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: And one thing, I will no issue within the Darwin

59
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: City Council of any kind of toxic toxic culture.

60
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 4: Of course not, and if there was one, I'll make

61
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: sure that they click resolved very quickly. One thing I

62
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: take pride is people leave in my organization to go

63
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 4: to promotion, not living, to go anywhere.

64
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: Because they want to live.

65
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: So maybe not any kind of toxic culture within the staff.

66
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: Is there any within the Alderman.

67
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't think so.

68
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: Actually, we've got a seven or previous now six with

69
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: justin living and six new ones and in the past

70
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 4: that much will be working very very well. And if

71
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 4: you see what's happening around town, things are happening the

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: thing is not neglected. We've got the trip planning operators

73
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 4: going ahead the suburbs now they're getting significant amount of

74
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: money per world to be spent there, and we're working

75
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: very very well.

76
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: But you have I mean, there has been quite a

77
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: number of staff leave from your council ranks. There has

78
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: obviously been the CEO, there has been the head of

79
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: the Smart Cities. I believe you also have Melissa Ryder

80
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: leave and another staff member whose name escapes me.

81
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: But you have had a big staff turnout.

82
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: I've got three hundred and three hundred and fifty.

83
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: People, but four times leadership projects.

84
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 4: Becluding four people is not a big number. But again

85
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: I said to you before, most of these people that

86
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: went to a better job and a bigger job, that

87
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 4: didn't go to anywhere just to live city.

88
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: So from your perspective, there is absolutely no issue with

89
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: the culture within the town city.

90
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: Count With all my senior people, I'll talk to them

91
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: regularly if there was anything, and they're all very well.

92
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: My daughter's always open. They come in and they tell me.

93
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: And certainly I've been discussing that with the CEO of

94
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: the at the time and would resolve it.

95
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: On the other hand.

96
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 4: Actually, we had this significant change on the structure, and

97
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: what happened with the structured changes some people didn't like

98
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: the role that was allocate to them and they decided

99
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: to go somewhere else.

100
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: I can understand that one.

101
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 4: But my intention is how this council can work efficiently

102
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: and effectively for the rate payers.

103
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: All right, So you are obviously in the process. So

104
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm assuming of recruiting a numbers next week.

105
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: We've we had fifty one applications. Now, you don't get

106
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: fist for the CEO job. You don't get fifty one

107
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 4: applications if people realize that the situation is not good

108
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 4: in City of Doubt. We had applications from as far

109
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: as Queensland, tas Mania, Western Australia, and some of them

110
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 4: overseas from Dubai and India.

111
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: So fifty one applications. What are you expecting to make

112
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: an announcement?

113
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: Well, we're having the interviews next week and after that

114
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: we have to do all the searches and everything else,

115
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 4: you know, the use of stuff, and we have an

116
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 4: announcement soon as practically possible.

117
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: All right.

118
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: So well, hopefully over the coming weeks I'm sure have

119
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: some some further informing guys.

120
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: So when are you.

121
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: Expecting any idea what day you're going to have the

122
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: by election for that state as well.

123
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: We have to discuss with the department.

124
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: We have to officially notify the department, which I believe

125
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 4: my acting he always already done, and then we'll discuss

126
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 4: the department to see when we do the but it

127
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: has to be within.

128
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: Four months now con a few questions.

129
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 3: Can I say something before you continue?

130
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 4: I would like to pay tribute to Dorothy Fox, a

131
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: long standing councilor who unfortunately passed away.

Speaker 3: I saw the death notice today. Dorothy loved down.

133
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,760

Speaker 4: She served as a counselor from nineteen ninety six to

135

137
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: You're a great counselor. You're a great person. I knew

138
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 4: you personally. We didn't agree to everything all the time,

139
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: but she was a lovely woman and I'm very very

140
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: sad to arak.

141
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: What was she counselor for years?

142
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: Well, from nineteen ninety six to two thousand and eight.

143
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: She was really really good Kia elder and a member

144
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: of the Kubilo Fabria.

145
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: Our hearts go out to her family and friends. That

146
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: is very sad news, the passing of Dorothy Fox. Let's

147
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: talk about Yeah, no, I've got another question. This one.

148
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Well, I've got some from our listeners which I'll get

149
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: to very shortly, but I've got one now.

150
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: Yesterday we spoke on the show to Saint John's Craig Garaway.

151
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: He confirmed that a person had been stung by a

152
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: jellyfish at Lake Alexander on the weekend.

153
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: Has the council looked into this.

154
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 3: Well, this is the first time I hear about that.

155
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 4: Then surprises me because the filtration system we've got in

156
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 4: Lake Alexander, it filters out even the eggs of the

157
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 4: jellyfish are very very fine filter So I don't know

158
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: how this got in. I will suddenly when I go

159
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 4: back to the officer six more information, find out where

160
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 4: it happened, how it happened, and try to find out

161
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: what's happened.

162
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: Ye, because it's a bit of a memory. Then if

163
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: there's people in there all weekend after, you know.

164
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 4: After this is the first time I hear about stung

165
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: by jellyfision like Alexander be here for thirty years. So

166
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 4: I've got a suspicious mind, and I wonder if it's

167
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: a prank or something. We had two big fish, yeah,

168
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: but certainly I'll be looking into it to find out ways.

169
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: So what do you reckon someone's purposely dropping things into

170
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: like Alexander.

171
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 3: Sometimes nothing amazed me.

172
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 4: I mean we had a big milk fish and we

173
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: had a big barrow Monday where they don't live.

174
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: In Lake Alexander.

175
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 4: Unless somebody fist it caught it, I don't know what

176
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 4: to do with it.

177
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: Oh, look leg there and near the worry is and

178
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: that we know that, like Alexander is the location where

179
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: lots of people take their children, families sit over the.

180
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: Course of the weekend.

181
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: It might be fine at the time after a few beers,

182
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 4: but think about other people and their children.

183
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 2: So it is something that the Council's going on forward.

184
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: To it and I'll find out and I will let

185
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: you know.

186
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Because I mean the info there came from Saint John's

187
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: and we know that. You know, they've seen plenty of

188
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: different things. They know and they know when they see

189
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: a jellyfish.

190
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: Find out the day at the time and everything else.

191
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be good. Now Corn, a few questions coming through.

192
00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: There's one here.

193
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: Please ask Lord Mayor for better street lighting at daily

194
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: straight and min Street intersection, the main intersection before getting

195
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: into the city. Big lights poll that's never worked in

196
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: A couple of lights that were taken out after a

197
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: car crash and never replaced.

198
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: This big light police owned by the government. It's a dipple.

199
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 4: The bundary FRAS and planning. We notify them about. We'll

200
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 4: be talking to them nearly every six months about it.

201
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: They finally admitted that actually can't be fixed, has to

202
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: be completely replaced, and they will proceed to replace Corn.

203
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: Another one here, please ask on about the velodrome contract

204
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: with j TEX. Now. I had said that there had

205
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: been some reporting on this that it had happened, and

206
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: there hadn't been. Was there actually a public tender document

207
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: for this?

208
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 4: Of course it was. It was a public tender. Two

209
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 4: companies applied for the tender. JTX was the cheapest and

210
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: the best price.

211
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 3: They got the job. Asked for the secret contract.

212
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: Well, the banners were up velodrome for four weeks before

213
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: they start to work. I don't know how you keep

214
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 4: a secret when you put the banners of the company

215
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: in the side where they're going to fix, and.

216
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: So there was a normal, full transparent process.

217
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 3: Technically, we look council was.

218
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 2: Not only speculation and there wasn't.

219
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 4: Well they better go and check their facts because she

220
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 4: verages to write in a website stories phips.

221
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: Rather it's difficult to check the chat the fact.

222
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 4: The reality is there was a public tender and if

223
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 4: they look at it, they will find that it was advertised.

224
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 3: We had two companies applied. J Tex was the best

225
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: price and the best value. Jack Tex got it.

226
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: How much is that tender worth two point five million dollars?

227
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: Five million dollars and that's obviously going to see exactly

228
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: what work in there.

229
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: Going to do the surface, We're going to do the

230
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: balustrach or the area, the spectator settings, We're going to

231
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: do the lights and the electrical faults and everything else.

232
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 4: So it's going to be actually significantly upgraded with these

233
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: twenty half million dollars, which part of the territory government,

234
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: part of federal government, part of the council.

235
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Colin there was a few people asking it soccer the

236
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: other morning down there at bag it Oval.

237
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: How about some more shade down there wondering.

238
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 4: Well, there were some big mahogany trees that came down,

239
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: so we replanted a lot of them. Unfortunately we have

240
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: to wait for a while for the trees to grow.

241
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: I can't get instant growth trees from bannings.

242
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: I love that. Nothing no other sort of options.

243
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 3: Well, we used to bring our own umbrellas. We used

244
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: to bring shelters. You know, you can go and buy

245
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: a shelter.

246
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: Now.

247
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: There's plenty of first said in one side of soka.

248
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: I understand.

249
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 4: I spent years there in the middle of the day

250
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: having my brain cooked by the sun, and I fully

251
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 4: understand what you say.

252
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: But again, unfortunately trees came down.

253
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: We had to take some down because there were dangerous

254
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 4: for our own kids who play soka there.

255
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: My suggestion is that if the new trees grow up,

256
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: be innovative, bring your umbrellas, bring yourselt as.

257
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 4: You can buy from bannings against sorry bannings about the

258
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,720
