• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now, just a little while ago we revealed that the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Chief Minister, Michael Gunner had posted on his Facebook page
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that there is no new cases of COVID announced well
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: so far this morning, we are still expecting the Chief Minister,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Michael Gunner, as well as the Chief Health Officer and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: indeed the Police Commissioner to front the media, hopefully well
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: within the hour. I think it's probably going to be
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: closer to midday is what we've been told by his
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: office earlier this morning, but we will wait and hear
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: exactly when that's going to happen.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I had questions sort of how many of those tests
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: have now been conducted for those close contacts and indeed
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: those casual contacts, whether they've received those results back. And
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we've got quite a few calls through. Joining us on
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the line right now is Chris, who I believe is
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: in Catherine. Get a Chris, not bad mate. What's the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: situation with you? I understand that someone you know is
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a close contact.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Well, my boss's daughter was the one that served him
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: of Woolli's right and was a direct direct contact, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: they were told that the results would be pretty much instantaneous,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: and they still haven't received any notification whatsoever, and as
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: a result, the whole family has had quarantine self quarantine
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: isolated at this stage, not knowing when, what, how you
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: know things are going. So it's and I'm I'm left
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: on my own because I was the only one that
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: wasn't the contact with them at the time. So yeah,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: it's quite frustrating for them because they've got a they've
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: got a business to run and they can't run it
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: because they're at home and they were told they'd be
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: told straight away.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: So Chris, what you're telling us is that your boss's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: daughter was working at Woolworth. She's the person who served
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the COVID positive person and she still doesn't know whether
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: she's received a negative result.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: That's right. They've heard nothing yet at all. They're told
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: they were told they'd here on Tuesday morning and heard nothing.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: They were told they here Tuesday night. They still haven't
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: heard anything. They still haven't heard anything today.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So then what is.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Your reaction when you you know, when you see or
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: hear that the Chief Minister's put on his social media
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: page that there's no positive cases from overnight, I'm pretty.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Pretty dumbfanded by it all. I mean, they I mean
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: follow I've been following this quite quite closely on the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: news and stuff, not only through the territory but Australia wide.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: And for everybody chastised gladysparagingly. I think I was for
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: putting a post on Twitter and et cetera regards to
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: situations and labor in particular, slamming her for what she did,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: and then they go and do it themselves. Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Look, I just think, you know, they've got to make
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: sure that that communication is really direct with people. We're
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: talking about a pandemic, you know. We're not talking about
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: sort of you know, announcements prior to an election or
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: different policy announcements.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: We're talking about a pandemic here.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and people's lives and livelihoods that are being affected
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: by idiots that want to play play little games. And
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: it's not it's not games, it's it's people's as I
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: just said, people's livelihoods, et cetera, and stuff like that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: And I believe listening this morning, what's the one on
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the Breakfast show?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Oh Sarah who's on Breakfast?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yep?
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: She was. She was absolutely fantastic this morning. She gave
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Darwin an absolute caning as opposed to Katherine, who the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: people down here have been absolutely fantastic. Yeah, absolutely fantastic
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: of doing the right thing. She said, what's wrong with
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you guys in Darwin? Do you think you're better that
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: we're not better than everybody else? Start doing what everyone
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: else has to do well.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And this is the thing. We all have to look
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: out for each other. We've all got to make sure
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that we're doing the right thing.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and not just the territory, I mean, it's all
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: of Australia. And it's been so disappointing to see the
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Australian way. You just fall apart, you know, like, oh,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: they've got nothing to do with us. They're not part
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: of Australia. We are New South Wales was part of Australia.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Territory is part of Australia, West Australia, Victoria, et cetera,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. And we've just segregated ourselves and
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: everyone's saying, oh, we're not part of Australia. But it's
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: just weird. The Australian way of helping each other out
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: has just gone out the window.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, are you're right?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You know, we've got to all be looking out for
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: each other. We've got to be looking after each other.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: We're all fellow Aussies.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Chris, can you keep us up to date mate with
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: what happens with your boss.
• 4:57
