• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Joining me in the studio right now is Brent Potter,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: who is indeed the member for Fanny Bay and a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: member of the Labor Caucus.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Good morning to your.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: Brents Morning Katie Morning listeners.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Brent, firstly, what.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Is your take on that situation with the Chief Minister
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: being sort of followed around on the Westmax Monster.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, this is unacceptable. It is at personal time and
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: I know one of your listeners said, you know what
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: you want to play politics, Well, there has to be boundaries.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: People have to have time to switch off. If you
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: run a business, you turn your phone off at a
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: certain time. She needs to have those times to get
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: away from work to clear a mind for own mental health.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: But I think the question really is whether they actually
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: running or they just setting up along the track, Like
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: you know, she's got to be able to go and
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: do those things and not be hequin. There is a
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: way to protest these issues, but we've committed to doing
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: the hrefile, We've done that, We're committed to the industry.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: So yeah, the decision has been maybe being very clear
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: on that and it's a growth path for the territory economy.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: So I think they just need to accept that and
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: give people some space.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Brent, let's talk about these plans for an r V
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: park at Bundilla Beach. They've garnered a mixed response, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: think in recent weeks. A few weeks ago, the Lord
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: me launched what he'd said was the consultation and said,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: if supported, that that trial would run throughout the twenty
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: twenty three peak visitor period and see around twenty r
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: vs pull up stumps at Bundilla Beach. He reckons the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: proposed trial was one way that the City of Darwin
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: was exploring ideas to develop the local economy as well
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: as support tourism growth and position Darwin as an attractive
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: tourism destination. Brent, what are your concerns around this proposal?
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Poor planning, that's the single concern, Katie. As I've committed
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: to in the by election, three million dollars and million
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: dollars will be delivered to council where a contract. Basically,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Council's got the contract to deliver the works that we
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: agreed upon. We've agreed to some additional items they've asked
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: for around toilets and barbecue shelters and the like, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: as you saw in the budget, there'll be the three
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: mint with the two million dollars, So what.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Exactly is that going to be spent on that three million?
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: So you're going to get upgraded lighting, You're going to
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: get some concrete powered sites for food vans. You're going
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: to get basketball half court. You're going to see toilets
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: now some shades or some gazebe equivalents for part and
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: lighting and irrigation. So that's what I committed to, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: that's directly out of the twenty sixteen consultation report the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: council did. That was one hundred and one pages of
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: what would you like to see happen at Vesti's or
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Bundella It was Vestis then but now Bundilla and it
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: was evan In. Over fifty percent of people didn't want
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: to see commercial development down there, so lifestyle amenity. And
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: that's why I committed to those items.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: God you do both, I mean by the sounds of it,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: like if you because it's a pretty big space. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: could you have that half court and also have those
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: amenities and allow you know a small number of those r.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Vs absolutely could. But you know what you got to
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: do first, Katie. You got to do the planning. You
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: got to do the consultation of the planning. And one
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: of the pieces that council last was two hundred thousand
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: dollars or thereabouts do a master plan for all of
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Vesti's now, they know that was coming. I met them
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: on the friday. I met my old woman on the Friday.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Not a single word was said about the proposal coming
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: on the Monday. And then the day before ANZAC Day,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: And as a veteran, you know, the day leading up
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: to ANZAC Day, you're not necessarily focused on getting an
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: email from council, and I can email at four p
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: thirty saying you're an important stakeholder and we're going to
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: public consultation. So all I got was an email. They
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: know there's a master plan, Let's do that first. Let's
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: master plan the whole area. Let's get all the community
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: consultation done, Let's lay out all the infrastructure we need
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: in the plan and then do it. But to rush
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: it through this dry season which we're in right now,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: you know, I just think that flies in the face
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: of good planning.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So do you reckon You've been rail righted.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I reckon, there's an unsolicited proposal. To be my gut
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: feel that's the only reason.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I see it from an operator, yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: I would say so, Like, let's be completely clear, it
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: was never on the cards when the daal And Bowls
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Club put it forward and Daln Bowls Club are the
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: best spot to do a trial like this, and they've
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: put it forward many times. It's been knocked back by
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: counsel and yes, residents haven't wanted it. However, meeting them
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: on the Friday then getting it dropped on the Monday, like,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I just don't understand they can be disconnect between the
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Oldermans and the department And the only thing I can
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: think of, because we were doing a master plan and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: they knew the money was coming, is they've had an
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: unsolicited proposal.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Hence why they've gone out to market or the path.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll sign out. We've got the mayor on
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and about a minute.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: They should probably if they have great, If not, then
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: where's it come from?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Now? Tell me how I know that you launched a petition.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: How many people have signed it now?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Just over two hundred it is about two hundred and two.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: We've just got the last of the where finalized and
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: last of the sheets we've collected. I'll write that up
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: with the covering letter and drop it off to council
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: so they can see it. I think they've had I
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: think you may have said about six hundred people responding,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: so one third of that I've got in physical signatures
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: opposed to.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: The development down there.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: But let me make a really clear listeners, Katie, I'm
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: not opposed to this kind of development. What I am
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: opposed to is the poor planning. And I think if
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: we're really looking for a successful solution, we should be
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: gone to the day on Balls club that has three
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: phase power sewerage fencing gives them a former revenue. It's
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: at vesties, but it's not on the water line, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: it allows everyone to keep their community amenity but still
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: meet the outcome we need.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: What do you think though of its sort of activating
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the area, because at the moment, like sometimes I go
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: running down there, and at different times, you know, not
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: so much at the moment, but at different times there's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: been bad anti social behavior. You know, it's been an
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: area where like it's a beautiful spot and it's just
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: sitting there, not being activated in any way.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Well, you know exactly the reason why I've alex Or
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: committed to three million dollars. We've allocated that in the
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: budget because we know that activation moves that behavior on.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: We also know that when you enforce your bylaws, we
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: see that behavior being moved and East Point is a
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: great example of that. People were down there on the
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: weekend and it was packed. You couldn't get a cast
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: for it. Now, any social behavior, you know, vest is
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: underutilized or Bundella is underutilized and we need to reactivate
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: that space. That's why there's three million dollars coming this
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: budget to do all of that, and we're basically almost
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: going to start doing the work before this financial year.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So in terms of you know what the council's proposed
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: here or what they're consulting over, what do you think needs.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: To happen, I think we postpone it. We do the
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: master plan like you would do if you're going to
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: do a renovation to your house. You get the planned first,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: and then you go and do the works. Let's do
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: the master plan, Let's go to public consultation, Let's lay
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: out where you would put the infrastructure, corridors and the like.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Let's deliver on the first set of works that I've
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: committed to to the community and then from there we
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: know what canon can't happen at for Bundella and where
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: it can sit. I mean where they've proposed was where
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I heard the dog park was going to go. That
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: dog park is five years overdue. Now I don't necessarily
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: think we need a dog park down there. It's a
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: great beach and people let their dogs run. But it
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: was a commitment from counsel, and you know, let's let's
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: deliver all those commitments we've delivered. We've committed to first
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: deliver those and then look at where we put an rvput.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Brent, is this about you making sure that you save
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: face after making those commitments, so those election commitments and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: making sure that they're actually followed through.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: You do as you say and you say to do. Cadie,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: I made a commitment. I'm going to deliver on it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I think it's anything saving face. I've still got plenty
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: of time to deliver it. There's money in the budget.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I actually think we just need to get out there
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: and plan first so that we don't stuff the one
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: opportunity about that we have, because if we do it
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: and it fails, it won't happen again. And we've seen
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: that before. With some of their bike extensions we have
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: in the esplanade that council put in painted the lines
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: in the allow people to ride, and then we had
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: to paint over.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Lines because it didn't work.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: So let's just plan it out first, proper planning, and
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: then from there we'll get into it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Brent, let's stop vaping.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Earlier this year, the Northern Territory government launched an inquiry
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: into vaping after a spike of kids using the devices
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in schools, but following the banning of vapes and associated
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: devices by the federal government, it's been suspended. Was the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: inquiry too little, too late by the Northern Territory government.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I think it was at the time it needed to happen.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I just don't think we quite understood how hard the
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: federal government was going to come out with their recommendations
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: around vaping. I was watching Q and A when Mark
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Butler got on, and the first I'd heard that he
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: was about to do a suite of announcements was on
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: that show. And then the next morning he got out
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: at the Press Club and announce a sweeping change.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: And the reality of it is the changes that he
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: put in.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Katie basically covered off on all the terms of reference
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: that I had for that select committee and what would
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: have been a waste of taxpayers resources for us to
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: go and continue down a path that we already know
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: the outcome because of the federal changes.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So were any taxpayers dollars spent on the Northern Territory?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Every committee you have, you know you're paying for hours
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: of labor, both the Ledgers of Assembly staff and for us.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, we didn't do
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: any travel. We basically did a bunch of call for
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: submissions and one open public forum and then from there
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: we've written the port So I think it was better
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: to close it early, put the recommendations in through an
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: introim report which I tabled in Parliament last week that
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: everyone can go and have a look at, and then
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: get the departments to draft legislation and changes in line
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: with what the federal government do.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Any waste of taxpayers dollars from your perspective, no.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I think we needed to go through it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: But I just want to make sure is that we
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: didn't continue out of path and do things we didn't
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: need to do, because that labor and that time can
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: be spent on other issues that we.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Need to focus on now talk us through with the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Obviously with those you know, those different hearings that you
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: did have those initial ones, can you sort of tell
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: us with the federal government's changes that they've announced, what
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is it going to mean for the Northern Territory.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Ultimately, it's going to mean that, you know, if you're
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: wanting to access these products, you we need to go
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: through the pharmaceutical we need to get a prescription from
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: your GP. There's going to be tighter regulation around packaging,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: there's going to be tighter regulation around flavoring. It will
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: there will be people that will be unhappy with the changes.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: There's absolutely no doubt about it. They're going to treat
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: it how it probably should have been treated in the
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: first instance. So you know, if you want to get
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: a vaporizer, you're going to the pharmacy, or we get
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: the GP to give you a prescription, you'll go to
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: the pharmacy and you'll get it from there. That will
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: create some troubles for those that want flavored vaporizers. But
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: the problem with that is we also didn't know what
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: was in those flavored vaporizes, and that was one of
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: the things. Having read all the submissions although there is
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: anecdotal artists that does help people transition off smoking. What
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: we couldn't confirm was the damage that the chemicals inside
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: those vaporizes are doing because there was no standards. So
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the TGA will bring in some standards there around packaging,
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: around flavoring, around all your ingredients, but you will need
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: to get you will need to go to So what will.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Happen for people that are social Well, it's not smoking,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it's vaping social social vapors.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, at the moment, we will have to work
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: with what the federal government legislation comes down and then
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: nest ours with inside that so that we're not not
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: at odds.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: With it at the moment.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: There is no timeline, So there is no timeline for
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: when they're going to change that or I'm not aware
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: of it and I'm happy to come back with you
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: if there is one, Cardie, But ultimately we're trying to
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: make it harder for kids to stop taking it up,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: like there is no reason for a kid, you know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: my daughter's at the moment to start vaporizing, isn't There
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: is no reason for it. They've never smoked. It's only
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: a trend and it has negative health impacts. But if
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: you're a smoker, getting you onto vaporizes, you know, that
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: is a good way to get you off. And so
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: this is why it will still be available through a
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: GP prescription.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: How is it going to be enforced?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I guess the is that like for young kids, you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: can understand how it's going to be enforced. It'd be
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: similar to you know, when we were school kids probably
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: trying to you know, friends trying to get their hands
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: on cigarettes. You need to sort of show your idea
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: or you need to look like you're old enough. But
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: how is it going to be enforced in terms of
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: those that are legitimately adults that are wanting to go
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and you know, purchase their vapes or whatever however it works.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: You know, how are they going to be able to
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: do that?
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: So it'll be the same that it is now for cigarettes,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: that's the best way to describe it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: So you can need to be eighteen, you.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Know, and then you're going to have to have a
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: lot like so they'll have to get a license as well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: these businesses to do the nicotine products and they'll have
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: to go through there. If you're going to input ones
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: without nicotine, you're going to have to prove to the
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: TJ what's inside it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: So that's where they're going to go down.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: So what will happen with some of those vape stores.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: I suspect some of them will have to change their
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: product line. You I've got a store in Prap. You
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: know they're going to have to change their product line
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: and make sure they get stuff in. They know what's
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: with the packaging. They can confirm what's in the product,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: so people know what they're actually inhaling. I think that's
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: a fair and reasonable outcome to know what you're inhaling.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Do you think that this is going to stop kids
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: or prevent kids from being able to access vapes as
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: easily as what they seem to be able to.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Right now, say missigarettes, Katie, you ne one hundred percent
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: stop it, but you put mechanism in place to reduce it.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: You know that the federal government's got a target to
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: reduce the population. Thing is about five percent to be
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: smokers total throughout the total population. So we just need
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: to put the mechanisms in place. I think there's some
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: absolute operational changes that schools can do around vaporized detectors
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: in the toilets. We can do some awareness campaigns, and
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: I know that we've been looking at what the Southern
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: States have been doing of their school education programs and
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: we'll do those as we roll them.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Out, Brent.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: A few messages coming through will have to power through
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: pretty quickly. But someone saying, can you please ask Brent
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: about the INNT voice to Parliament Katie.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Yep So, I'm chair of the LCAST, the Legal and
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Constitutional Committee, which is what it's been referred to at
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: the moment. The west way I can describe, people are
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: calling it a voice. I know some people in Parliament
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: spoke about it like that. What I've been asked to
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: do is confirm, at the end of the day, there
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: are First Nations and Aboriginal people that are impacted by
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: policy that we make. And the men Mark go Ula
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: put forward an emotion that we'll see a consultation around
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: pieces of legislation when it's going to and how it's
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: going to affect Aboriginal people. Now, the two key takeaways
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: from the motion he put forward was scoping around a
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: reference start sorry, a statutory body, but also around a
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: standing committee in Parliament. And so I think you had
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Jerry wood On before that was talking about the Screening Committee.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: That would be a good example of what he's referring
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: to when he says standing committee. So pieces of legislation
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: that we believe may have an impact would be referred
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: to that committee. If that's the path we go back.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I could go down that path, like we could.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Have a standing committee o the two pieces in his motion,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: a statutory body or a committee.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Of you thinks a better option?
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Oh listen, I'm not wedded to either.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: What I would say is that standing committees are well
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: known to the parliamentary process and you can bring in experts.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: So for Legal and Constitutional lot, we've got an expert
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: that we send our legislation too to make comment on.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: And that's why he's come to the Legal and Constitutional
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Committee as the chair of that. I'll be meeting later
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: this week with the members of the committee. I'll put
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: it to them what I'm proposing. Which one of the
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: ideas that I've been thinking is do we go out
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: with the discussion paper, allow people to put submissions in,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: and then work and see how that plays out against
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: the voice and go from there, because I think there's
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: a lot there will be a lot of learning that
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: comes from the voice referendum as we get closer to
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: the end of the year. But I do support the
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: motion that mark Oil is put forward and I think
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: it is something we do need to explore as a parliament.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, at the end of the day, every piece
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: of legislation you put before the House you should be
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: considering what impact it has on particular minorities of the community.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Well, Brent Potter, the Member for Fanny Bay, we better
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: leave it. They're good to catch up with you. Thanks
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: so much for your time today.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Thanks
