1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Northern Territories road toll has risen to twenty three following 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: a fatal crash in Pine Creek on the weekend. Compared 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: to the same time last year, four people died on 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,120 Speaker 1: MT roads, with thirty one deaths for the entire year. 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: Now we know that crashes are going to be a 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: key focus of the Northern Territory's biggest road safety event 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: for school children. It's called Street Smart High. It's happening 8 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: next week. It is an incredibly good initiative. And joining 9 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: me in the studio to tell us more well, it 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: is Eden Bell, the senior manager of retail and Operations 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: at AAMT. Good morning to you, Eden, Good morning, Good 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: to have you in the studio. And we've also got 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: Superintendent Daniel Shean from the Northern Territory Police. Good morning 14 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: to you. Yeah, really good, so good to have you 15 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: both in the studio. Now I might go to you first, 16 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: Eden and just ask what does the event entail. 17 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: Well, street Smart High. 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 3: We're in our fourth year now and it's really about 19 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 3: bringing some focus to those year eleven to twelve students 20 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 3: who are starting to think about their license and getting 21 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 3: on the road and probably bringing some reality to the 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: responsibilities of being a good driver on the road and 23 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 3: understanding the repercussions that sometimes poor decisions might bring. 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, well this is it, you know, you think about 25 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: Like my eldest is thirteen now, so she's still a 26 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: couple of years away from getting a license. But I 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: tell you what, it changes the way you think about kids, 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: Like when they're actually at that point where it's starting 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: to become a reality that at some point they're going 30 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: to get behind the wheel of a car, it's a 31 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: bit scary. 32 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 2: It's a very Yeah, it's very interesting topic. 33 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 3: I mean, it's something that we've partnered with government and 34 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 3: MAC to bring this program to Fruition. We get about 35 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: twelve hundred kids come through the program each year, and 36 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 3: the feedback will get it's quite incredible. 37 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: But it's the key messages we bring. 38 00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 3: We're bringing a proper scenario, yeah, full scenario, crash scene, 39 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 3: and it's quite impactful for these kids. And you know, 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: I guess the outcome there is to hopefully let them 41 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: stop and think about the reality of what it means, 42 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 3: because often is the case, you hear about these statistics, 43 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 3: but what you lose sight of is the reality of 44 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: what sits behind that the trauma that brings to families 45 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: and friends, and you know the first responders that you know, 46 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: we need to call that out as well, to say, 47 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 3: you know, what an amazing job they have to do 48 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 3: in dealing with these matters. But the statistics are one thing. 49 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: It's the reality of crashes occur is a very different proposition. 50 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, And making young people realize, you know, the impact 51 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: of the actions and the decisions that they make when 52 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: they are behind the wheel of a vehicle. I mean, Daniel, 53 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: you are at the forefront of investigating being there at 54 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: these times of extreme trauma for some families. How important 55 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: is it to really try to speak to young people, 56 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, when they are at that stage of just 57 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 1: getting behind the wheel of a vehicle or maybe looking 58 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: at getting their license. 59 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: Yes, spot on, Katie, And like twenty seven years of policing, 60 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 4: I've seen some horrific crashes. 61 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 5: They're avoidable crashes. We talk and you opened up with 62 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 5: the number of lives that we've lost on the road. 63 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: It's not a toll. 64 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 4: It is people that have died, families, loved ones who 65 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 4: have died on our roads. 66 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 5: Twenty three this year is horrific. 67 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 4: And the issue that we have is the risky behavior 68 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: that's on the roads, and that's really important to talk 69 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 4: to the young ones about the consequences for their drive 70 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: and behavior. If you're going to use a mobile phone, 71 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 4: you're distracted, you're not going to see someone walk out 72 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 4: in front of you, You're not going to see the 73 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: driving in front of you putting the brakes on those 74 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: sorts of things, and the consequences is a crash. It 75 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 4: might not be a death as a result of the crash, 76 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 4: but it could be the fact that someone's seriously injured, 77 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 4: which impacts that person's life and other people's lives. And 78 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 4: it might not be the driver, but everyone around them. 79 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 4: We often forget about the other consequential factors of crashes, 80 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 4: and that is that someone could lose their livelihood, They 81 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 4: might not be able to work again, that might not 82 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 4: have the full insurance on the vehicle, don't have a 83 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 4: car again. So the other impacts as well that we 84 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 4: often forget about when we talk about crashes. 85 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: It's so true, isn't it, Like you do really we do, 86 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: and rightly so, focus on those lives lost, but there 87 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: are so many other contributing factors that can change people's 88 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: lives forever. After a major crash. And those major crashes 89 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: they happen very regularly, probably more regularly than what people realize. 90 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 4: Right correct, they do, and they are caused by distractions, 91 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 4: drink driving, drug driving, exceeding the speed limits. 92 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 5: The speed limits are there for a reason, and people think. 93 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: That they've got a fast car, they are good driver, 94 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 4: so they can do whatever speed they want until something 95 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 4: goes wrong and then the consequences are realized. 96 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, when you are out on the roads, like you know, 97 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: and for our Northern Territory police, what are some of 98 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: the risky behaviors that you sometimes see young people engaged? 99 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: And I know that people of all ages obviously engage 100 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: in risky behavior, but talking about those young people, what 101 00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: are some of the things that you do see? 102 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: As I said, you know, you've got other friends in 103 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 4: the car who might be distracting you while you're driving. 104 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: You've got your mobile phone, which it's important to take 105 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 4: text messages, isn't it and respond to. 106 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 5: Those while you're driving. 107 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,119 Speaker 4: All these things result in that distraction. So if something 108 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 4: occurs in front of you and you don't see it, 109 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 4: your last minute reaction could cause that crash. And then 110 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 4: you know what, we either don't think about. Yes, the 111 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 4: emergency responders that have to go and deal with the 112 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: carnage on the roads and deal with the horrific scenes, 113 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 4: the sites, the smells, all those things live with you forever. 114 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 5: And then, as I have done over. 115 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 4: Many times over my years, go and talk to families 116 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 4: knocking on the doors at silly hours in the morning 117 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 4: and saying I'm sorry, but your loved ones not coming 118 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 4: home tonight, or you need to go to hospital. And 119 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 4: these are the things that people don't think about, because 120 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 4: in the moment of fun, we often don't care about 121 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 4: the consequences that could unfold in a matter of seconds 122 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: in front of us. 123 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: And I do wonder as well, And I mean, I 124 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,119 Speaker 1: may be wrong, but sometimes you think even less about 125 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: those consequences were you're young, you know, like it seems 126 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: like such a foreign concept when you're sixteen, seventeen years old. 127 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. 128 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: You truly think you are that you get a bit 129 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: older and you go, oh, hang on a second. You know, 130 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: these things are risky behaviors. So I'm assuming, Edan that 131 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: that's really the point of street smart high as well, 132 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: is that these young people, all of our young people, 133 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: are actually able to sort of, you know, to hear 134 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: from people like Daniel, to hear from those first responders, 135 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: but also to hear from people who've lost loved ones, 136 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: whose lives have changed forever. 137 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 138 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 3: I mean, look, we've got some very brave people who 139 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 3: come and stand up and talk to the kids and 140 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: probably bring home the reality of what some of the 141 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: consequences are and some of the decisions they make. So, 142 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 3: you know, it's a program about educating the kids at 143 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 3: a critical time. And we should also remember parents play 144 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 3: a huge role. 145 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: You know, they are role models. 146 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 3: It's about getting education to those parents as well and 147 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: shaping these kids to being better drivers on the road. 148 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 3: And you're right, all these distractions and things poor decision 149 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 3: making that can very quickly lead to a very bad outcome, 150 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: but to death or otherwise. And we know from the 151 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: stats we're probably talking about twenty five percent of or 152 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: twenty three to twenty five percent of people in the 153 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: statistics are kids under twenty five, and so you know, 154 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: they make up a fair large junk of the community 155 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: and they are being impacted. And you know, this program 156 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: targets I think very much about it brings that reality 157 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: of the speakers come in, they bring to the to 158 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: the forum a real life experience and we try and 159 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: replicate a crash scene and it's based on some poor 160 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: decision making and giving them a good reflection on what 161 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: the outcome of that scenario is. 162 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: What's sort of the feedback that you do get from 163 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: the young people that head a lot? 164 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: Well, we do survey all the kids at the end 165 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: of each program and for the last four years, probably 166 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: the one that stands out for us is the fact 167 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: that they do reflect or look at their parents as 168 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: being role models as to how they go out and engage. 169 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: So again, it's impactful. The kids provide some great feedback 170 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: to us around the program. And yeah, I think it's 171 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 3: an important, an important education program that we put out there. 172 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: And I think it's you know, if it saves one life, 173 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 3: then that's one of all. 174 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: Worth it. 175 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, worth it. 176 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: And like I always think to myself as well, I 177 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: guess your kids get to a certain age once their 178 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: teenagers where they maybe don't listen to what you say 179 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: as much as what they did when they were younger. 180 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: But even in the car and even when they're really 181 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: quite young, they're watching what we do. If we're on 182 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: our phones while we're at the traffic lights and things 183 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: like that. They're watching that, they're thinking that that's normal behavior. 184 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: And so it is so important for all of us. 185 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not trying to sound like a wauser, 186 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: but it is so important for all of us to 187 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: look after not only the people in our own cars, 188 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: but make sure we're doing the right thing by everybody 189 00:08:59,440 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: else on the right. 190 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 5: It's too sorry, Yeah, you're spot on there. 191 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 4: And people often look to the police, what are you 192 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 4: doing about fixing the cartage on the road, What are 193 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 4: you doing about fixing all these problems? But road safety 194 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 4: is about everyone's responsibility, not just the cops. Everyone has 195 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 4: a responsibility to ensure they get from point A to 196 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 4: be alive and that everyone else is safe in the process. 197 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I reckon this is I think this is such 198 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: a good initiative. Initiative. I mean, I think it's really 199 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: important for young people to understand the impacts. And you 200 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: know what kind of risks you take on when you 201 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: get behind the wheel of a car or when you 202 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: get in a car with somebody else who maybe isn't 203 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: doing the right thing. And it sounds as though there's 204 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: going to be some incredible keynote speakers, particularly when you 205 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: look at the fact that the students are going to 206 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: hear from some of those road crash survivors as well Eaten. 207 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it's as I say, it's very confronting, but 208 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: at the same time it's a very important thing for 209 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 3: the kids to hear. As I say, those keynotes speakers 210 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 3: that stand up there and tell their story, you know, 211 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: they're very open and frank about it and very brave 212 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: for doing so. 213 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: But look, I reflect back again. 214 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 3: I mean, the statistics are really important to understand or 215 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: to get an underlying understanding of some of those causal factors. 216 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's often you can get lost on the statistics. 217 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 3: It's about bringing back the reality of what this means. Yeah, 218 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 3: and it's easy to forget if you not impacted by it, 219 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 3: or haven't had experience around a family member or someone 220 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 3: that you know, it's easy to put that off into 221 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 3: the distance and say that's not me or I don't 222 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: need to concern myself. But yeah, I think it's something 223 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 3: that that this education pitches around giving them some realization. 224 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: And as I say, the feedback we get is often 225 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 3: very positive. 226 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: Now tell me, can school still register to take part 227 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: or have all the schools already registered to take part. 228 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: Unfortunate. 229 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 3: I'm not across the stats, but I heard we have 230 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: a full full deck and we've got people vuying for spots. 231 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: So well, that's a good problem to have. 232 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 5: This is a question. My daughter said that on year 233 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 5: twelve and I really want to go to this. It 234 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 5: was not involved and yeah. 235 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: Right, well so hopefully yeah, and so hopefully we are 236 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: in a situation where you know, maybe like I don't know, 237 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: maybe it can be expanded so all the kids can 238 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: go along, maybe not for this year, but certainly for 239 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: all the other years, because you want to make sure 240 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: that as many kids as possible are able to hear 241 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: this message. 242 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, as I say, it's we're still in our early 243 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 3: years of bringing this program to the territory. So you know, 244 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: again the participation has been significant. I think last year 245 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 3: it was it was over for that we had people 246 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 3: standing in the aisles, but it was it's worthwhile, and 247 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 3: we encourage all schools that haven't yet considered to very 248 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 3: much think about getting their getting their registrations in for 249 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 3: forward period. 250 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. 251 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: So it is being held on the sixth of June 252 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: at the Darwin Convention Center and look, I really appreciate 253 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: you both coming into the studio this morning to have 254 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: a chat with me an ts Eden Bell and Northern 255 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: Territory Police Superintendent Daniel she And thank you both so 256 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: much for your time this morning.
