Katie Woolf spoke with MLA for Karama Ngaree Ah Kit · 360 with Katie Woolf

0:00
Speaker 1: There have been some serious concerns raised about crime and
0:03
Speaker 1: anti social behavior in Karama in recent weeks. Yesterday we
0:07
Speaker 1: spoke to kiss the owner of a beauty salon who
0:09
Speaker 1: was targeted by a group of youths demanding money over
0:13
Speaker 1: the Easter long weekend. We've also been told of incidents
0:16
Speaker 1: and break ins and damage to cars. Even this morning,
0:19
Speaker 1: I've been sent photos of people are well engaging in
0:22
Speaker 1: antisocial behavior in that in that suburb. But I've got
0:27
Speaker 1: to say, by far the most concerning incident was a
0:29
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago when a toddler was allegedly sexually
0:32
Speaker 1: assaulted in the front yard of his home. A twenty
0:35
Speaker 1: one year old man has been charged with that in
0:38
Speaker 1: regards to that incident. But joining me on the line
0:41
Speaker 1: is the member for Karama, Naria Akis. Good morning, Thanks
0:45
Speaker 1: so much for your time this morning. Now, Nari, how
0:48
Speaker 1: bad is the situation with crime in Karama at the moment.
0:52
Speaker 2: Oh, we're all feeling it out there, Katie. It's crime
0:56
Speaker 2: anywhere at any time, impacting on anyone is absolutely not okay,
1:01
Speaker 2: and it gets really tough, especially when it hits so
1:04
Speaker 2: close to home. And so yeah, we're feeling it in Karama.
1:07
Speaker 1: The situation where a little boy was allegedly sexually assaulted
1:11
Speaker 1: in his front yard sent shockwaves through the community. What
1:16
Speaker 1: steps have been taken since that incident to try to
1:20
Speaker 1: ensure people in the electorate feel safe?
1:24
Speaker 2: Oh, that incident, Katie, really did send shockwaves. Nobody wants
1:29
Speaker 2: to hear about any child being placed in danger or
1:32
Speaker 2: have anything bad allegedly done to them, So as a
1:35
Speaker 2: local resident, it was just absolutely appalling. There's no excuse.
1:41
Speaker 2: So the number one priority and I have to just
1:43
Speaker 2: really commend our anti police. They're just doing a really
1:46
Speaker 2: amazing job providing an important response to our community, supporting
1:50
Speaker 2: our local people. A lot of people are sharing their thoughts,
1:53
Speaker 2: they're sharing their experiences with me, They're asking how they
1:56
Speaker 2: can help, how we can help to turn our community
1:58
Speaker 2: around and hold a lot of people to account. And
2:01
Speaker 2: there's really just looking at ways to continue to provide
2:04
Speaker 2: that hope. And the biggest message I have for local
2:06
Speaker 2: residents is just keep yourself safe wherever possible and make
2:10
Speaker 2: sure we report every incident because often unless you live
2:13
Speaker 2: or work or spend a lot of time in any suburb,
2:16
Speaker 2: it's really hard to get a clear picture on what
2:18
Speaker 2: it's actually like there, NAIRI.
2:20
Speaker 3: What's happened?
2:21
Speaker 1: What's changed in the electric I mean, I know that
2:24
Speaker 1: there's always been issues around various different suburbs of the territory,
2:29
Speaker 1: but it does seem as though in recent months there
2:32
Speaker 1: has been a real sort of spike in concerns being
2:36
Speaker 1: raised by the people who live in Karama.
2:38
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Katie, we have been inundated with hundreds upon hundreds
2:44
Speaker 2: of visitors, people who have visited our community, who are
2:47
Speaker 2: staying there. We have a large increase in our rough sleepers.
2:51
Speaker 2: We hear some really good information being shared by Larochean
2:55
Speaker 2: Nation through their heal engagement programs, their day and night patrols,
2:59
Speaker 2: their hosts programs, who are engaging with a lot of
3:02
Speaker 2: our countrymen coming in from remote Aboriginal communities, which is
3:05
Speaker 2: absolutely fine. So as local member, I will welcome as
3:08
Speaker 2: a local resident, I will welcome anybody and everybody to
3:11
Speaker 2: the electorate. I just asked everybody to please be respectful,
3:14
Speaker 2: please be mindful, and if you're not going to add
3:17
Speaker 2: value to our little communities, then please don't take any away.
3:20
Speaker 2: So we've seen a lot of extra visitors, Katie. We've
3:23
Speaker 2: read in the paper today there's been extra money is
3:25
Speaker 2: being handed out. We just have an influx of a
3:28
Speaker 2: lot more people making really bad decisions with their behavior
3:32
Speaker 2: impacting on others, and that is absolutely unacceptable.
3:34
Speaker 1: Well, and I mean, if you're talking, you've said, then
3:37
Speaker 1: hundreds upon hundreds of people visiting you're electorates, So I
3:41
Speaker 1: mean we're talking about a suburb, you know that really
3:45
Speaker 1: isn't that large. So that volume of additional people then
3:50
Speaker 1: staying in the community, and as you've said, you know, sleeping,
3:53
Speaker 1: sleeping roughs, so I'm assuming in parks and various other
3:56
Speaker 1: places and in many cases from what we're hearing from listeners,
4:00
Speaker 1: consuming alcohol as well. I mean to me, that doesn't
4:04
Speaker 1: sound like it's constructive behavior.
4:07
Speaker 2: No, it's definitely not constructive behavior. It's not responsible and
4:10
Speaker 2: the impact of one person can ripple right throughout the community.
4:14
Speaker 2: So there are a lot of great services out there,
4:16
Speaker 2: a lot of local people who are stepping up, helping
4:19
Speaker 2: with the engagement, encouraging people. I'm actually, for the first time, Katie,
4:23
Speaker 2: I've been the local member now for four and a
4:24
Speaker 2: half years. I'm receiving communications from local residents who are
4:29
Speaker 2: saying that, you know, people are trying to force their
4:31
Speaker 2: way into their homes, their family members from remote communities
4:36
Speaker 2: because it's you know, it might be raining and these
4:38
Speaker 2: people have no place else to go. So I know
4:40
Speaker 2: that Larochie and Nation are still repatriating a lot of
4:43
Speaker 2: people back home through their Return to Country program, which
4:46
Speaker 2: is really important. So trying to figure out all of
4:49
Speaker 2: the locals, I've spent a lot of time trying to
4:51
Speaker 2: work out who wants to be helped, who I can
4:54
Speaker 2: support help to get on the right track and point
4:56
Speaker 2: them in the right direction, because we are overloaded with
4:59
Speaker 2: information every single day and sometimes it just doesn't hit
5:02
Speaker 2: the mark, and the information that people need they don't
5:05
Speaker 2: readily have it available. So talking to a lot of people,
5:08
Speaker 2: some people still don't know about the return to country
5:10
Speaker 2: or how to access it. So Lariche and Nation are
5:13
Speaker 2: doing a really great job driving around engaging with people
5:16
Speaker 2: through their day and night patrols and their heal engagement
5:18
Speaker 2: progress and actually asking people whether or not they want
5:21
Speaker 2: to go back home. And I guess, on a side
5:24
Speaker 2: note of that, Katie, if we do have a lot
5:26
Speaker 2: of other visitors here, you know, I'm really trying to
5:28
Speaker 2: push the vaccination for COVID nineteen throughout, so trying to
5:32
Speaker 2: have those conversations with people about you know, with either vaccine,
5:35
Speaker 2: you need to have your injection and then you need
5:37
Speaker 2: to have a follow up injection. So if you keep
5:39
Speaker 2: moving around, it's got to be quite difficult to maybe
5:42
Speaker 2: track it out, make sure you're safe and a part
5:44
Speaker 2: of our process to get back to normal.
5:47
Speaker 1: Does something additional need to be done though here in
5:50
Speaker 1: terms of getting people home and getting people back to
5:54
Speaker 1: their communities. I mean, if there's drinking going on in
5:58
Speaker 1: public spaces, we've seen reports of chroming as well, and
6:02
Speaker 1: various other things happening, and as you've just pointed out,
6:05
Speaker 1: you know, you've got people trying to force their way
6:07
Speaker 1: into other people's homes.
6:10
Speaker 3: I mean, really, are we in.
6:12
Speaker 1: A situation here where something additional needs to be done
6:16
Speaker 1: to get those people home?
6:18
Speaker 2: Yes, Katie and I have had a lot of conversations
6:21
Speaker 2: with a lot of out Aboriginal organizations who are all
6:23
Speaker 2: discussing this exact topic. What can we do that's respectful?
6:27
Speaker 2: What can we what foundation of our culture and our
6:31
Speaker 2: law lari that we you know, can we use that
6:33
Speaker 2: we can work from? Because there are some genuine people, Katie,
6:37
Speaker 2: like the cohort of people who are running amuck, so
6:40
Speaker 2: to speak, is a smaller cohort than I think a
6:43
Speaker 2: lot of people realize. So the majority of people who
6:45
Speaker 2: are visiting are here for right reasons. They're here because
6:48
Speaker 2: they've got some extra money and they want to get
6:50
Speaker 2: out of their community. And you know, I have a
6:53
Speaker 2: bit of a holiday in Darott. It's just a small
6:56
Speaker 2: cohort who often get intoxicated and you know, they cause
6:59
Speaker 2: a lot of issues in our community. So talking to
7:01
Speaker 2: people about the need to keep people safe. Number one,
7:05
Speaker 2: Sleeping rough is not an ideal way of life, and
7:08
Speaker 2: i'd has it a guess to think that it's only
7:11
Speaker 2: a small few number of people who are comfortable doing
7:13
Speaker 2: that day in day out. You know, we're in the tropics,
7:16
Speaker 2: we have a lot of you know, we're all impacted
7:21
Speaker 2: by the weather that we're experiencing still now. So safety
7:24
Speaker 2: is always paramount. We need to make sure that people
7:26
Speaker 2: are kept safe, they have a safe place to stay
7:28
Speaker 2: and hopefully encouraged to return back to community. And I
7:33
Speaker 2: would like to think that those communities, you know, a
7:35
Speaker 2: lot of the communities that I have visited it at
7:37
Speaker 2: the moment, I'm sure they're a little bit more quieter.
7:39
Speaker 3: Well, and I guess you know this is the thing.
7:41
Speaker 1: And here's I suppose the frustration from a lot a
7:44
Speaker 1: lot of people is that, you know, like you've said,
7:46
Speaker 1: there might be quite a majority who aren't doing the
7:49
Speaker 1: wrong thing, but the small minority then who are doing
7:52
Speaker 1: the wrong thing reaking havoc. I mean, as I've mentioned,
7:56
Speaker 1: some of the incidents obviously that have been reported in
7:59
Speaker 1: recent weeks in months really are entirely unacceptable. Is this
8:04
Speaker 1: message of sort of going around and trying to educate
8:07
Speaker 1: people in terms of going home?
8:09
Speaker 3: Is it falling on deaf ears?
8:12
Speaker 2: I'd say in a few instances I've had a lot
8:14
Speaker 2: of conversations with stakeholders sometimes that's the case. That's human
8:18
Speaker 2: behavior that everybody wants to listen or play by the rules.
8:22
Speaker 2: That's noble for any community. And I think what's really
8:25
Speaker 2: important is that there are people out there who need
8:27
Speaker 2: help and they need to be supported. They often won't
8:31
Speaker 2: ask for it or they don't know how to access it.
8:33
Speaker 2: So the overwhelming majority of people are good people who
8:37
Speaker 2: require and need support, and will just keep continue to
8:40
Speaker 2: work with those people, as well as holding those naughty
8:43
Speaker 2: people for one of the better way, Katie's turn out.
8:45
Speaker 2: Bad behavior by anybody is not okay. And sometimes when
8:49
Speaker 2: I look at it and I see it, you know, regularly.
8:52
Speaker 2: I grew up in the community, I've been there for
8:53
Speaker 2: a long time, and as local member, I'm out and
8:55
Speaker 2: about talking to a lot of different people. But there
8:58
Speaker 2: are it's a call for help, Katie. There's a lot
9:01
Speaker 2: of people who can't help themselves, and I'll always try
9:03
Speaker 2: and find ways where I can help them.
9:05
Speaker 1: Now, when it comes to these reports of chroming, has
9:08
Speaker 1: that been something that's been raised with you.
9:11
Speaker 2: Yes, it has. And what was really great is a
9:14
Speaker 2: lot of people have contacted me and shared their experiences
9:16
Speaker 2: and stories as well. So while it is extremely confronting,
9:21
Speaker 2: I'm still a little bit impacted from my own witnessing
9:24
Speaker 2: of an incident a few weeks ago. It's the education
9:27
Speaker 2: around that, Katie. This is often our young people are
9:31
Speaker 2: self harming. This is self harming in public. That is
9:34
Speaker 2: a cris for help. We need to make sure that
9:36
Speaker 2: we report it. Chroming is not a crime, so people
9:40
Speaker 2: might not think to report it to police, but it
9:42
Speaker 2: helps us to get the data and the statistics up.
9:45
Speaker 3: What did you witness yourself?
9:48
Speaker 2: Oh, so I came out of the When I was
9:50
Speaker 2: in my electric office in Karama, a lovely lady came
9:55
Speaker 2: in from the car park and reported to my electorate
9:56
Speaker 2: office Tanya, that there were two young girls chroming in
9:59
Speaker 2: the Karama Shopping Pasa car park. So Teddy Letnido. She
10:03
Speaker 2: got called the police straight away and we both made
10:05
Speaker 2: our way out and I wanted to see where the
10:07
Speaker 2: girls were. I wanted to make sure they were safe.
10:09
Speaker 2: I didn't want to approach them, startle them or anything
10:11
Speaker 2: like that. I've never dealt with a situation like that before, Katie,
10:14
Speaker 2: and it was absolutely heartbreaking. Everything in me just said,
10:18
Speaker 2: get over there, snatch the cans, keep them safe. But
10:21
Speaker 2: we were in a busy car park. It's on a
10:23
Speaker 2: you know, I think it was a Thursday or Friday afternoon,
10:26
Speaker 2: and I tried to assess all the dangers and then
10:28
Speaker 2: I slowly approached and I had a yarn with them
10:31
Speaker 2: rather than try to be the aggressor. I guess it
10:34
Speaker 2: a situation where two young girls were doing you know,
10:37
Speaker 2: croby right before my eyes. I engaged in conversation. I
10:40
Speaker 2: tried to find out why they're doing it, whether they
10:42
Speaker 2: had any fear because there were a lot of odd lookers,
10:45
Speaker 2: as you'd imagine, and it was just really devastating. So
10:48
Speaker 2: I went through the process of you know, making sure
10:50
Speaker 2: police followed up on it. I reported it to Child Protection.
10:53
Speaker 2: I reported it to my colleague Kate Warden, the Minister
10:55
Speaker 2: for Territory Families. I was able to meet with departmental
10:59
Speaker 2: representatives next week. We spoke about the Volatile Substance Abuse Act,
11:03
Speaker 2: the Darwin Action Plan and the way forward. My electored
11:07
Speaker 2: Oxic Tada and I were able to engage with some
11:09
Speaker 2: of the local people who helped us to find out
11:12
Speaker 2: who the girls were and how we could provide support.
11:15
Speaker 2: So wow, we did a lot of that work and
11:17
Speaker 2: it worked really well and that apartment were able to
11:19
Speaker 2: engage with the family and speak to the girl and
11:22
Speaker 2: offer support on the way forward. So I guess the
11:24
Speaker 2: message there is just encouraging everybody. If you see something
11:27
Speaker 2: that is really really horrible to watch, really confronting like that,
11:31
Speaker 2: have a look at it. As in the protection mechanisms
11:34
Speaker 2: that need to be afforded. We're a young girls, well
11:37
Speaker 2: look we're sniffing REXSNA cans in a car park in
11:40
Speaker 2: the middle of the afternoon. That is absolutely not okay.
11:43
Speaker 2: So if anybody out there sees an incident like this,
11:46
Speaker 2: please call police that if they're miners, please call the
11:49
Speaker 2: child Protection hotline.
11:50
Speaker 3: Absolutely very good advice.
11:52
Speaker 1: If you do see something like that, make sure you
11:54
Speaker 1: follow those steps.
11:55
Speaker 3: Nori.
11:56
Speaker 1: We're getting a lot of messages come through this morning.
11:58
Speaker 1: I've got one here and it says, Hi, Katie, when
12:03
Speaker 1: you're talking to the minister, can you please ask her
12:05
Speaker 1: if she actually lives in Karama. There is I just
12:09
Speaker 1: find it hard to believe that she lives there and
12:10
Speaker 1: is blind to all the shenanigans going on in Karama
12:14
Speaker 1: day after day. The itinerants and crime are one hundred
12:17
Speaker 1: percent out of control, and all we get is empty
12:20
Speaker 1: words with no action. It's so frustrating, says that listener.
12:26
Speaker 2: Oh, it's really sad to hear that. And I understand
12:28
Speaker 2: the sentiments, and I understand that people are looking for
12:30
Speaker 2: a scapegoat, and usually the easiest and closest person is
12:33
Speaker 2: your local member. Short answer, Yes, I've grown up in
12:36
Speaker 2: the electorate. I bought my house on Applegum Drive in
12:39
Speaker 2: two thousand and six. I've spent about seven years growing
12:42
Speaker 2: up in Malac, which to the lack primary school. It
12:44
Speaker 2: is my community. I'm very invested and I will continue
12:46
Speaker 2: working every single day to return it to the place
12:50
Speaker 2: that I want to do and I want is proud
12:52
Speaker 2: to be a member of.
12:53
Speaker 1: I've got another one here and it's asking, well, essentially
12:58
Speaker 1: what they're asking is when is there going to be
12:59
Speaker 1: another public meeting.
13:03
Speaker 2: That's a good question. So with COVID last year, I
13:06
Speaker 2: guess with the lack of interactions and the need to
13:09
Speaker 2: make sure that we kept the territory safe, a lot
13:11
Speaker 2: of those opportunities weren't able to be fulfilled. Tomorrow we
13:14
Speaker 2: actually have a coffee with the cops. So I'm still
13:16
Speaker 2: looking at ways to work with stakeholders to enable them
13:19
Speaker 2: to come into our community and have the best traction possible.
13:23
Speaker 2: So eventfly, those will always continue. So we're having our
13:25
Speaker 2: fourth coffee with the cops inside the Karama Shopping Plaza
13:28
Speaker 2: tomorrow from ten am till twelve pm. So, as you
13:31
Speaker 2: can imagine, Katie and to listeners, police are very busy.
13:34
Speaker 2: We know what the stats are looking like. They're very
13:37
Speaker 2: responsive and they spend a lot of time trying to
13:40
Speaker 2: investigate incidents and to apprehend and charge those who are responsible.
13:44
Speaker 2: So it's a really important opportunity for local residents, local businesses,
13:49
Speaker 2: any visitors, if you're in the area, come on into
13:51
Speaker 2: Karama between ten and twelve tomorrow have a chat with police,
13:54
Speaker 2: because unfortunately, when I talk to a lot of residents locally,
13:57
Speaker 2: they either don't think too or they feel disenfranchised and
14:00
Speaker 2: therefore they don't report incidents. And what that means is
14:03
Speaker 2: what I talk to police about, do you have the
14:06
Speaker 2: real stats? You know? Do you understand what we're going
14:08
Speaker 2: through here in Karama. Often we're telling two different narratives
14:11
Speaker 2: because the evidence isn't there to support what life is
14:14
Speaker 2: really wrong?
14:14
Speaker 3: So do you reckon?
14:15
Speaker 1: The situation in Karama at the moment is that there
14:18
Speaker 1: is a lot more going on than what's being reported.
14:22
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's my knowledge from local residents talking to me Katie.
14:27
Speaker 2: The other day, I spoke to a lady who was
14:29
Speaker 2: telling me that her home was it wasn't successfully broken into,
14:34
Speaker 2: if that's the right word. Attempted to break in, but
14:37
Speaker 2: because they didn't make their way through and they only
14:39
Speaker 2: tried to jimmy and damage the door, they didn't think
14:42
Speaker 2: to report it to police. So I've encouraged her to
14:44
Speaker 2: do that because it's an attempted break in and attempted
14:47
Speaker 2: home invasions. So just out there just making sure that
14:51
Speaker 2: everybody understands any of those incidents, all of those incidents,
14:54
Speaker 2: please report so we have a true picture of what
14:57
Speaker 2: we're going through here in Karama.
14:59
Speaker 1: We are run out of time, but a lot of
15:01
Speaker 1: the messages coming through this morning are really based around
15:04
Speaker 1: when there is going to be another public meeting. People
15:07
Speaker 1: with concerns around crime, also concerns around public housing.
15:12
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, and that's why it was great to have
15:15
Speaker 2: the Grammar Malat Community Voice group. So I'll be going
15:18
Speaker 2: back and talking to them. I'm hoping to organize a
15:20
Speaker 2: meeting next week. They held a forum I believe Katie
15:23
Speaker 2: on the sixteenth or the seventeenth of December over at
15:25
Speaker 2: Malak and that was really great to hear from local
15:28
Speaker 2: residents and to focus on those solutions all. I will
15:32
Speaker 2: definitely be getting back to the community and letting them
15:34
Speaker 2: know when another forum will be. As you can imagine,
15:37
Speaker 2: holding a forum for about six thousand residents is just
15:39
Speaker 2: not possible. Having smaller targeted groups and getting some people in.
15:44
Speaker 2: And it's also because I like bringing in council, I
15:47
Speaker 2: like bringing in Laraitian Nation Police education. We've had a
15:52
Speaker 2: whole raft of stakeholders who really they really enjoy those
15:55
Speaker 2: opportunities to hear direct from the people, and it's important.
15:58
Speaker 2: It's a big logistical effort to put it together. And
16:01
Speaker 2: definitely we'll be planning the next.
16:02
Speaker 3: All right, NRI.
16:04
Speaker 1: One of our messages that's just come through and said,
16:06
Speaker 1: coffee with a cop doesn't help those that work normal
16:10
Speaker 1: working hours. Are you able to do something like that
16:12
Speaker 1: outside of working hours?
16:14
Speaker 2: I completely understand, and I understand that that's a great difficulty,
16:20
Speaker 2: as you can imagine. I ideally i'd love to get
16:22
Speaker 2: police and some other people down at perhaps seven o'clock
16:25
Speaker 2: on a Friday night. I do try to work to those,
16:28
Speaker 2: but unfortunately police are extremely busy and I have to
16:32
Speaker 2: take whatever opportunity that they have. Two hours is a
16:35
Speaker 2: huge impost on a lot of them. Last time we've
16:37
Speaker 2: had people, I think from the Use Outreach and re
16:41
Speaker 2: Engagement team attend, we had transit officers and tomorrow Anti
16:45
Speaker 2: police will try to send down as many people. So
16:47
Speaker 2: I'll definitely keep that in mind. We'll see if we
16:49
Speaker 2: can do something else that suits a lot of working
16:52
Speaker 2: But if you have any of those engagement messages you
16:54
Speaker 2: want to forward through the police and you're unable to attend,
16:57
Speaker 2: Please contact my office in Caromera. I'll be more than
16:59
Speaker 2: happy to facilitate some engagement for you.
17:01
Speaker 1: All right, Nai r Kit we have run out of time.
17:04
Speaker 1: Can you just remind everybody really quickly where coffee with
17:07
Speaker 1: the cop is happening and how they can be involved
17:09
Speaker 1: if they are can absolutely so.
17:12
Speaker 2: Coffee where the cop is being held inside the Karama
17:14
Speaker 2: shopping Plaza tomorrow on Friday, the night of April between
17:18
Speaker 2: ten am and twelve pm. All welcome.
17:21
Speaker 1: Can I just ask very quickly, we did catch up
17:23
Speaker 1: with kiss one of the business owners in your electorate
17:25
Speaker 1: earlier in the week who had that terrible situation where
17:28
Speaker 1: she had a gang of youths will come into her business,
17:31
Speaker 1: into her business and demand money. I mean it goes
17:36
Speaker 1: without saying that this kind of thing is just unacceptable.
17:40
Speaker 1: Are you concerned that we've got gangs of youths that
17:42
Speaker 1: are targeting businesses?
17:44
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Katie, I went and saw kissing her husband yesterday.
17:47
Speaker 2: I asked to look at the footage to see if
17:49
Speaker 2: I could help identify some of those young kids. Just
17:52
Speaker 2: absolutely unacceptable and appalling behavior and I hope all of
17:55
Speaker 2: those kids are identified and they're help to account.
17:58
Speaker 3: Narri ar Kit, thank you very much for time this morning.
18:01
Speaker 2: Thank you Katie.
18:02
Speaker 1: That is Karama MLA there, Narira Kit. And if you
18:06
Speaker 1: want to get in contact with us this morning eight
18:08
Speaker 1: nine four one one o four nine, you can also
18:10
Speaker 1: send us a text. Tell you what some of that
18:12
Speaker 1: pretty concerning stuff. I mean, hundreds upon hundreds were the
18:17
Speaker 1: MLA's words when it comes to visitors in that electorate,
18:21
Speaker 1: and then obviously talking about you know the fact that
18:24
Speaker 1: there's the flow on of some of the different well
18:28
Speaker 1: different crimes that have been committed, but some of the
18:30
Speaker 1: anti social behavior, and then hearing about those young people
18:33
Speaker 1: chroming as well. There's some serious issues at the moment
18:37
Speaker 1: by the sounds of things, and it's a lot for
18:39
Speaker 1: the people who live in Karama to try and deal
18:42
Speaker 1: with
