1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: And now discussions continue for an AFL club here in 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: the Northern Territory well as part of the AFL. And 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: while the Devil's in Tasmania there awaiting the results of 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: Saturday's state elections, so that's a bit up in the 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: air at this point in time. But the Herald Sun, 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: well they're reporting details of a fixture plan for the 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: Northern Territory club, colors and even a team name. Now 8 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: joining us on the line to tell us a bit 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: more is AFL NT's chair Sean Bouder And good morning 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: to you. 11 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, good morning, Cody, and thanks for having me on 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: the program again. 13 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: Mate, talkers through where things are at. So you know, 14 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: are we at the stage where we're choosing a name 15 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: and colors. 16 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: We're heading in that direction, Cody, but we're not there yet. 17 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: And I think what's important about the Herald Sun article 18 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: is you can see the interest that's been generated down 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: south in the football community and the football world, and 20 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: it's reflective of the great work that's been done by 21 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: the Northern Territory football community and wider. You would have 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: seen a terrific couple of AFL games in Darwin earlier 23 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: this year in May and then Alice Springs and Chief 24 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: Minister had an opportunity to meet with Andrew Dillon and 25 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: myself which was a really constructive catch up. And so 26 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: that's given I think people in the Southern States and 27 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: confidence that we're doing the work, that we're pointing ourselves 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: in the right trajectory. Show should that opportunity to come 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: up for a twentieth team, and we really do hope 30 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 2: it does, then we're doing the work and we're sitting 31 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: there positioned and could I just sort of say this 32 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: at the outset Katie as well, we stand one hundred 33 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: and ten percent behind Tasmania in their effort to get 34 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: the nine eighth team. They've got a terrific group of 35 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: people down there, Brendan Galac, Grant O'Brien, the chair, and 36 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: you saw when they've been challenged just the real passion 37 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: and drive of their football community to achieve the nine 38 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: eighth license. So we really stand with them. We want 39 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: them to get their license and then we have the 40 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: chance for the twentieth on. 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: I am ever the optimist and I love sport, and 42 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: as a girl who was living in Townsville when the 43 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: North Queens and Cowboys got up and going I can 44 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: see what a team does, you know, for a region, 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: and the pride that a region feels in their footy team, 46 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: no matter what code it is. But I guess the 47 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: question I always go back to is how are we 48 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: going to fund it? And you know where are discussions at. 49 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: I guess in that space, like how really stick is 50 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: this for us? 51 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: I think it's very realistic. We're a capital city, we're 52 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: a state, and we're a part of the football community. 53 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: That's the starting point, and we've produced great football people. Now, 54 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 2: the financials are so important. I think that's what you're 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: really getting at, Katie. Just if people just think about 56 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: the contribution made by the Federal government of the stadium 57 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: in Topmaine. It's four hundred million dollars. They'reabouts and there's 58 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: further discussions about the creation of that precinct Puppy New Guinea. 59 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: The Commonwealth Government of put in six hundred million dollars 60 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: towards a new team in Puppy in New Guinea. So 61 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: a new team in tas Nania four hundred million support 62 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: from the FEDS six hundred million for pupp New Guinea 63 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: for the NRL. That's a really good start and that's 64 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 2: something that you can start to engage with and discuss 65 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: and we've had very early discussions with the Commonwealth, but 66 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: these are discussions. I think it will start to take shape. 67 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: That sort of contribution. That's what we want for the 68 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: Northern Territory and that's what we deserve in the Northern Territory. 69 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 2: In fact, we warrant something more than that because of 70 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: our remote communities and the deficit of infrastructure out there. 71 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: They need to be up Those facilities in the remote 72 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: towns and communities need upgrade. So does our Springs. We 73 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: need to work with the Ollow Springs community and then 74 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: work our way up the highway for a tenant Creek 75 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: Catherine and then ultimately aim for that prize of a 76 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: fantastic multi purpose the stadium in Darwin. So that's the 77 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: infrastructure piece. Just quickly, in terms of the operational peace, 78 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: I think your people can have a look at Andrew 79 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: Demitro's comments in that article. The Extra Game brings a 80 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: significant amount of money to the AFL. And Andrews said 81 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: it one hundred million dollars a year contribution. That's what 82 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: his estimate is. That's why Tasmani is and the piece, 83 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: that's why Peter of Landis are seeking an extra team 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: with the Bears. I think we're called in Perce. That's 85 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: why Landis is projecting to pop in your guinea. He's 86 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: got his eye on the future as well. So that's 87 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: that's the financial matrix in terms of the AFL the 88 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: AFL broadcast. If you go back to what the team costs, 89 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: we've estimated if we're given the same contribution by the 90 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: AFL it's what they give and killed a Footscray North Melbourne, 91 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: those mid ranking teams. Our deficit it's about eight to 92 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: ten million. If we're given the same contribution as Gold Coast, 93 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: which we're not asking for and I don't think we 94 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: should have an expectation around but it's a level buying field, 95 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: so there is a gap. I'm not saying for one 96 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: minute that there's not a gap, and then we have 97 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: to raise funds, but the time's coming. Where As this 98 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: momentum builds, we have those discussions with the support of 99 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: the Northern Terretory government of course constructively working at the 100 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 2: Northern Terrety Girl and we start to talk to the 101 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: potential major sponsors, the corporates who'd like maybe to get 102 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: involved with what we're doing as well, because it's a 103 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 2: hell of a story, the Northern Territory football story, as 104 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: you know, the hell of a story. Yeah, and it 105 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: does complete it will complete the AFL if we can, 106 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: if we can keep doing the work and get ourselves 107 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: to that position. 108 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: A couple of quick ones. Is the team going to 109 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: be called Lightning as has been. 110 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: Reported, I think it was over reported. I think that 111 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: report came off the back of the Herald Sun article 112 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: which I think locked onto the idea that Lightning was 113 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: one of a number of options, and it is an option. 114 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: It's been discussed around the place. The football community is 115 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: having this discussion on getting members of the footy community 116 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 2: daily sometimes sending you any ideas about names and colors 117 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: and these things. But the colors we know, there's the 118 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: oak of black and white. Now that's got to be 119 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: worked out as well. And the name's got a bit 120 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 2: sorted out, but I think we need a name for 121 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: mine that links the whole of the Northern Territory. Now, 122 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 2: the crocodiles is a favorite. Well, there's no crocodiles in 123 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 2: our springs. 124 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, true, very good point. Hey, what about though, I 125 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: mean when you talk about the fixtures, because this in 126 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: the reporting that's been done in the last twenty four hours. 127 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: I mean there's even sort of proposals being put forward 128 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: when it comes to the fixtures, right, Yes, So what 129 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: are we expecting. 130 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: Well early in the season. We all know that the 131 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: footy season the Ohson starts in late March early April, 132 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 2: still particularly warm in the territory. And I'm not saying 133 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: we wouldn't play a game in in the top end. 134 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: I wouldn't say when I want to play game in 135 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: the top end early, because that's to our advantage. Of course, Cody, 136 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 2: we want to play in those conditions. They're our conditions. 137 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: We thrive in those conditions. But to balance it, I 138 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: can envision the task force in visitors, there'd be a 139 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: number of games in our springs, home games and our 140 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: springs early in the year, two maybe three games over 141 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: that first part of the season. Then this time of year, 142 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: you'd be playing all your home games here, and I 143 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: think the teams from down south would have been joying 144 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: coming up and we've just stopped the most fantastic weather 145 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: or making the world for this time of the year. 146 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: So we'd be playing home games in Darwin and they'd 147 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: remember there's AFLW as well, so there'd be a lot 148 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 2: of football in Darwin during the dry. Then as the 149 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: season goes on it gets a little bit warm again 150 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 2: towards August, you could picture some games in our springs 151 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: again towards the end of the season'd be very hard 152 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: to imagine finals being played in Darwin, certainly until the 153 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: team's very very well established. So the season finishes in 154 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: late August and you know, we then move into our 155 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: warmer season, but they will be playing finals. So that's 156 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: the thinking. That's the basically simple thinking makes sense to me. 157 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: I then do something that brings Alice into the picture 158 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: as well, which is really really important Katie absolutely. 159 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: Needs to happen. I agree, you need to have the 160 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: regions part of it. I mean, when you look at 161 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: the cost for a stadium and you look at the 162 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: location for a stadium, where is it going to happen? 163 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: Is there any progress on that. 164 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: We've got the master plan out, We're receiving a lot 165 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: of feedback. It's really terrific. We're getting formal feedback. We're 166 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: getting informal feedback. I'll have people stop me over a 167 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: coffee or a beer and want to talk about it. 168 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: It seems to me there's a few sites that are 169 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 2: really in the mix. The Garrimilla site where you're coming 170 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: into town, the old shell tank farm that's that's popular, 171 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: The waterfront site we put there that's popular as well. 172 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: People are interested in that. People want to see more 173 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: detail about that as they do the garri Milla. And 174 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: then there's a real sentimental favorite over at Garden near 175 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 2: where the Garden's oval is oposite the casina, which would 176 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: be fantastic. It's just maybe a little bit out of 177 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: town and there's some water issues there. There's there's old 178 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: creeks and drainage running through there that make it a 179 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: little bit difficult and it's a bit tight. There's the 180 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: old cemetery there as well. But they're the three that 181 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 2: seem to be getting raised. Yeah, we're talking about developing 182 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: those old wharf site Perkins and that that would be 183 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: linked to it. That people say that maybe is a 184 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: second stage, which is quite exciting that if you know 185 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: we're activating, if you activate the city and you activate 186 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 2: the energy around our capital city and we bring in 187 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 2: the other great projects that are building in the territory, 188 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 2: you know, you could see that happening as well. You 189 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: have the stadium and then you have the development on 190 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: the waterfront down there. 191 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: A few a few messages coming through. One here from 192 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: raw Rob says, how are we going to fill a stadium? 193 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: We need about forty thousand paying customers to fill a stadium. 194 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: Just can't rely on giving some away. 195 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 2: Well, I don't think we gave a ticket away during 196 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: the last games. There was obviously complementary to stakeholders, but 197 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 2: we had to close the gates in the Hawthorne Sun's game, 198 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 2: Katie with nearly thirteen thousand people in and we're watching 199 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 2: the Suns and Hawthorpe. They're not local tames. The stadium 200 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: in Entazy's said at twenty three thousand. I think we'd 201 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 2: be maybe a little bit lower than that, fifteen to 202 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: twenty maybe with the option to build with some more 203 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: open areas. So I think we'd fill the stadium. I 204 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: think we fill it every time, and of course multipurpose. 205 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: You'd use it during the week as well. You'd make 206 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 2: sure there's conference facilities. And I mean, you've seen the 207 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 2: modern stadiums. They're fantastic. 208 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: They're pretty different to what we use to see. Hey, 209 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: another one saying I get the potential growth and economic 210 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: benefit of footy team might generate, but talking about the feeds. 211 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: Giving four hundred million for a team seems crazy. That's 212 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: how much our health system is short by. I mean, 213 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: I guess there's always the argument of the economic benefit 214 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: that it's going to bring to the Northern Territory as well. 215 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: Katie, You've really got to do both. I mean, a 216 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: lot of my career has been in the legal world, 217 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 2: has been dealing with deficits and these very difficult issues 218 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: that we confront here in the Norman Territory. I'm alive 219 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: to all of that and I continue to be. But 220 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 2: to have those things the long term and not for 221 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: one moment do we seek to impinge upon the health 222 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: or education budgets. It's just so important. But societies and 223 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: civil societies have built up economic development, functioning civic societies 224 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 2: that have education, jobs, something to do on the weekend, 225 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 2: and strong families. And the one we're trying to fill 226 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: here is something to do on the weekend and follow 227 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: and the pride that comes. I think we can do both. 228 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: You look at the com of Government support supports Tasmanu 229 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 2: with one hundred million dollars. I think our request is 230 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: going to be higher than that. When it comes to it. 231 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 2: We've put seven hundred million dollars on our infrastructure. We're 232 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: going to have that discussion in due course. I think 233 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: we can do this is the short answer. Mate. 234 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: I've got Luke Gosling about coming on the show, so 235 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: I'll ask him what he thinks. We'll see how we go. 236 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 2: What he thinks that would be great. He's been a 237 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 2: great support. He's a great footy supporter to Luke, so 238 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: that'll be great. And it's a great privilege to be 239 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: on the show again, Coatie, and thanks for giving me 240 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,479 Speaker 2: the opportunity. 241 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: No worries, it all good to catch up with you, 242 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: Sean Bowden, thanks so much for your time. Thank you.
