• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Sorry mate, we're just scrambling a bit in the background

  Speaker 1: do you pronounce your last name? Siver Torees. Good on you, Chris. Now,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I think Max has explained to you how it's all

  Speaker 1: going to work. You've got five minutes to answer a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: series of questions. Are you ready?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I'm ready.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Chris. Firstly, do you live in
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the Electors?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Look, Katie, I don't currently live in the electric I've
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: spent the last fifteen years living and working in remote
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and regional areas across the territory. But the last twelve
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: months I've been back and forth between Tenant Creek and Darwin.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: My wife and I have been looking at property in
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Berry Springs, and funnily enough, we have an inspection on
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: a property next week. So I am committed to living
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: in the Electorates and win or lose. I will be
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: living in the Daily Electric.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Now, what job were you in before putting your hand
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: up for this by election?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I was working or was working for the family business.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: My family has a construction business that has worked in
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Tenant Creek and the Darwin region. So I've been traveling
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: back and forth doing work for them.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And why did you decide to put your hand up
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: for this job?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Well, look, I've always been one that's been of the
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: opinion if you're not happy about something, to put your
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: hand up and have a crack at it yourself. So
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I'm obviously not happy with the current government and how
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: things are going, and unfortunately, with the current member for
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Daily Inflame standing down, it was the perfect opportunity to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: put my hand up and have a statum stand up
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: for the region.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Now, I know we've got a lot of listeners in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the Daily electorate, particularly those who live in the likes
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of Dundee and Berry Springs tell a community and also
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the lack of health services out in Dundee are issues
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that are raised with us regularly. What do you see
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: as being the issues in the electorate at the moment.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, look, it's a very wide electric There's a lot
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: of areas and there's a lot of different issues, but
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: it's the same as most places across the territory crime, roads, health,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: lack of telecommunications, infrastructure, housing, water, just basic services.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And taking those issues into account. Why do you feel
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that you're the best place to work with the community
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in an effort to try to fix them.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Well, as I said, I've spent fifteen years living in
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: regional and remote areas and I understand the challenges people
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: living in these areas face. I know what it's like
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to be below the Barrimerligne and just be forgotten about
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: by the current very dull and centric government. I want
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to be a strong voice as part of a strong
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: team and stand up for the region, make sure their
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: voice is heard.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Chris, why should people vote for you?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Well, as she said, we don't want to see the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: bad labor government get any stronger. I'm someone who is
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a good listener and I will go out constantly and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: fight for the people of daily. I want to make
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: sure their voice was heard and they get fair representation.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: The Gunner government needs to remember that there's a northern
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: territory below the bar of my Ligne.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: You've still got a bit of a two minutes left.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Is there anything else you came to add.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, look, I've just been out and about the last
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks talking to people on the ground, and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: like I said, these concerns they've been repeated by everyone
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: across the electorate. They just feel like they've been forgotten
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and they've had enough. So I encourage everyone to send
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a strong message to labor government and put them last.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Well, Chris Sivatoes, it's good to speak with you this morning.
• 3:47
