1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Joining me on the line right now is the Deputy 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Opposition leader Jared Maylee. Now the Opposition say that they, 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: along with Territorians, fueled by fear, anger and sadness, are 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: calling for Natasha Philes to finally front up and outline 5 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: what immediate actions are going to be taken to stop 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: the reoccurring violent offending which is causing the loss of 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: lives around the Northern Territory. Jared Maylee, good morning to you. 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: Good morning Katie, Good morning listeners. Jared. 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: What do you want to see from the Northern Territory 10 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: government today? 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: In one word, Katie, action Territorians I seek and tired 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 2: of living in fear. Businesses are boarded up, people don't 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: feel safe to go just through the day to day tours, 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: to go shopping, take the children to school. We've had 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: this is the fourth stabbing death in a number of months. 16 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: It's just unacceptable and enough enough and Tashaphiles needs to 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: stump up and say what you going to do? What 18 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 2: immediate action is you're going to take. We heard from 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: the Prime Minister on your show said that they haven't 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: even asked for police assistance. There's a crime crisis right 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: across the Northern Territory. Crime is out of control in 22 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: every center, and yet this Labor government is just taking 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: no action whatsoever and it's just unacceptable, Jared. 24 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: They say that they've got this review underway when it 25 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: comes to knife crime and that police are heading back 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: to work. I mean, what's your response to that? Is 27 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: that good enough? 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: This is not good enough. You can do two things 29 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: at once. You can have a review, and I fully 30 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 2: accept that, but there's nothing to stop the government taking 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: immediate action right now. We know that the Coorp have 32 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: put in some bail to strength and bail to make 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: it so you don't get a presumption for a violent offense, 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: and this Labor government just knocked it down. I think 35 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: it was forty seven seconds that Leah had an opportunity 36 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: to speak about. Something needs to happen right now. The 37 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: Stedge could be called in tomorrow and come up and 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: give people a breather, just give some breathing space whilst 39 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: the takes place. And we know that businesses are suffering, 40 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: we know that people are leaving. This is our tourist season, Katie, 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 2: and we need tourists to come up here, spend their 42 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 2: money and more importantly go home and tell their friends 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: come to Darling. Right now, these people go home and say, 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 2: well Jesus, don't go to Darwin. You probably see any 45 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 2: social behavior, or become a victim of crime, or get 46 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 2: your car stolen. It's just enough enough. Territorians are sick 47 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: of it. There's been protests on the out the front 48 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: of Parliament House. Natashaphiles and her government need to listen 49 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: to the territories and take immediate action. 50 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: Jared, there will be some listening this morning that are 51 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: thinking you are just playing politics, you know, coming out 52 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: after a man's life has been lost yesterday. What do 53 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: you say to them? 54 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: Well, look, Katie, my wife last month was fronted with 55 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: a man willing knife in cool Linger. This affects everybody. 56 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: This is not about politics. This is about territory and 57 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: feelings safe and a labor have just dropped the ball 58 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: enough enough. So it's not about politics. This is about 59 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 2: but people territories. So I was born here, lots of 60 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: people who've been here a long time and people just 61 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: genuinely don't feel safe. So this government needs to stump 62 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 2: up and it's not about political points during it all. 63 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: This is about territorians and their safety and something needs 64 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 2: to happen immediately. 65 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: Well Jered Mayley, the deputy opposition leader, We appreciate your 66 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: time this morning, thanks for coming on the show. 67 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: Thank you.
