  Speaker 1: Independent Panel Review has been set up to review the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: proposed Dan Murphy's Darwin development as well as provide a
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: report to the Woolworths Board. Now joining me on the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: line is the panel chair Danny Gilbert.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Good morning Danny. Now Danny, tell us what will the
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: panel be doing while in Darwin this week.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Well, we're here to talk to interested people about people
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: who are interested in this proposal. That's a broad group
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: of people and we're here to understand what they think
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: about it. Those that are for it and those that against.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: That includes Indigenous health organizations, peak bodies, business leaders, health
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: providers and councils, local community members and hopefully a couple
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: of politicians.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I tell you what, you might have a busy week, Danny,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I reckon.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You know, from the moment this Dan Murphy's proposal was
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: put forward, we have been inundated with people wanting it
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to go ahead or you know a few that don't.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: There are some indigenous community groups obviously who are very
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: concerned about Dan Murphy's entering the market. We have also
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: heard from the chair of the Gala Darren Inky Association
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: who says that they are okay.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: With this development happening.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: How are you going to listen to all of these
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: differing opinions and concerns and ultimately you know, go to
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: wilworts with the outcome.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Well, it has to be I mean will Work. We
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: have to hear what it is that everybody's got to
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: say and understand what their issues are, and that needs
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: to be thought of in the context of how does
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: big company like Willwork's an important Australian company, want to
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: engage with communities, particularly with the indigenous communities of Australia,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and what are the standards that it wants to meet.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: And so what we've got to do here is look
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: at all of these differing views and come to an
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: opinion or a decision about how willworth or to think
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: about that and respect the remeet or terms of reference
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: are very broad and it's so open to the panel
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: to form views about that after we've heard what people
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: have to say. As I say, we're here to listen
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: to anybody who's got a view about it, either for
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: or against.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And I understand that you're also going to be having
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: an open community meeting Wednesday next Wednesday, I believe can
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: anybody attend that one?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: They can? All they have to do is register at
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Gilbert Review dot com dot au and they will be welcome.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Dunny, once all of the meetings.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Of want to leave anybody out, No, I.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Agree with you.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I think it's really important that everybody's voices are heard
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and that everybody has the opportunity to have their say
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: on this, because ultimately it can be, or it has been,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: at different times, quite a divisive topic.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: But what is the process going to be.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Once you've held all those meetings, and once you've heard
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: all of those different opinions, we.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Will then sit back and think about how we ought
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: to regard those and how they will inform our final report.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And how quickly or how soon are we expecting that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: final report.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I hope it would be completed by the end of March.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: That might be a little ambitious, but I'd say by
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: not later than mid April. It should have the job complete,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: So not too far away at all, Danny, anything else
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we should be aware of this morning.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Look, I just think that your listeners ought to be
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: aware that this is a very open process. While the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: focus of it is around the quality of the engagement process,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: it's not limited to that. This is a complete The
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: independent Panel review and its open as to what it
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: is we want to advice the will Worths Board about.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: But we're not constrained in any way, and I think
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: there has been a bit of a misconception that we
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: are somehow constrained in what we can put in the report,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: in the recommendations we can make. Will have committed to
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the panel that this is a broad review and they
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: are open to what it is we might recommend, hoping
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to consider whatever it is we might recommend.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Well, Panel chair Danny Gilbert, we really appreciate your time
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: this morning and all the best with those with those meetings,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: no doubt you're going to have plenty of people wanting
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to come and have a chat with you.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks very much, thank you.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: That is the panel chair there, Danny Gilbert. And as
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you've heard, obviously they are holding those various meetings, but
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: there is going to be the opportunity as well for
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that public meeting. So if you've got an opinion about
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the Dan Murphy's whether you think that it should go
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: ahead or shouldn't, it is your opportunity to have your
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: voice heard.
