• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Joining me on the line right now.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: We've got our first candidate before this morning, Kylie Bonani
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: from the Liberal Democrats. Good morning to you, Kylie.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Hey Katie, how are you very well? Now?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much for your time this morning, Kylie,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I might get the get the timers started straight away
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: and we'll get into it.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Are you ready?
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: I am ready, I'm in the car na what all.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Right, let's get started now, Kylie.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Why did you put your hand up to run for
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the seat of Solomon.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: That's felt foremost the voters of Solomon need and want
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: an alternative to the ALP and CLP. They've just shown
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: themselves to be so dysfunctional, both of them, both of them.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Now, what do you see as being the biggest issues
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: in the seat of Solomon.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Look, I'm as much as I don't want to say crime,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: it is crime, and I know it's an antique government responsibility,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: but it is crime. We are going to tackle that
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: head on. So we're not shying away from some of
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the things that are surrounding crime that even though it's
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: not our responsibility, we still have we still have thoughts
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: around that. We definitely want to legislate to make parents
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and legal guardians responsible to use crime and bailed regions,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: making the family responsibility agreements mandatory and court imposed, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: holding parents or guardians criminally criminally responsible for children in
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: their care. We want to make anty police responsible for
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: dealing with juvenile crime instead of territory families. Reforms to
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the bail as to the ends of the capture and
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: release recycle, minimum sentences for multiple offenses. Establishment of purpose
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: built juvenile justice facilities that provide a mix of schools
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: and vocational education, thought life skills, recreation and specialized follows
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and educators to deal with disorders to us as FASD
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: and ADHD based on the diagramma model.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And Kylie, obviously you know crime is an issue that
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: gets raised with us all of the time on this show.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Are there any other issues that you see as being
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a real concern for Solomon?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Look, definitely the mandates, Katie. I feel, Look, this is
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: this is something that had made me lead the CLP,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: so I just felt that we were not being heard
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: as members and representatives and as a representative of that party.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: This is the first time in my lifetime, Katie, that
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I've felt the devastating effect that this has had on
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: people's lives. Please, I'm not an anti vaxer. I want
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: your listeners to know I am not anti vaxx. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: am triplebacks by choice. I just simply believe in the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: individual's right. It's the most basic thing about democracy, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: our two major parties have forgotten by all the parties
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: would by and ignored business owners and effect that if
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I've had honest employees, and it takes a lot of
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: courage to break your pattern and vote with a different party,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: that I believe this is a year to make that change. Katie. Now, see,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: they're just not targets. They are a blanket approach. If
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: they are a little bit more specific, maybe it wouldn't
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: be so bad. But the blanket approach is devastating businesses.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Katie.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Now, why do you think that you and the party
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that you're part of will be best place to deal
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: with these issues?
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Well, when listening, Katie, the two majors are just not listening.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: They've just got their blinkers and ear masson. They're not
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: listening to what people are saying. I think they've just
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: been guided. They've got their seats. They don't want to
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: rock the boat. Look, I'm out there I'm vocal, I'm
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: door knocking, I'm listening to everybody. You've got to move
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: with the times, Katie, and neither of these parties have moved.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Kylie, We've got a couple of questions left in about
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: forty five seconds.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Who are you going to be preferencing?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm as part of the Liberal Democrats policy. We're
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: definitely we are voting out the majors. So here in
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the territory, our two majors are Labor and CLP. So
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I am going My second preferences goes to the United
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Australia Party. My third goes to I think it's the
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Pauline Hanson one Nation, my third, my fourth goes to
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: the CLP because I am a conservative at heart. Luke
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: is five and the Greens are sick. Now I'm going
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: through my work and true to my values. Katie.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Now we might make these run for five minutes because
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: we're running out of time. So I'll just ask you finally,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and you've got forty seconds to let us know. Why
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: should people vote for you?
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Book?
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: That's easy.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I think it's easy. Nobody is happy, and I believe
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: in the territory you're so underdeveloped and we have so
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: many opportunities that are open to us with mining, agriculture, manufacturing.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I want to see growth, jobs, security, future territories. What
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: had the two major parties delivered just this? I want
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: your listeners to just think, what have they delivered? The
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: delibered that Democrats are our future party. It's time for
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: wheal change. Write one Kylie for Solomon.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, we've run out of time, Kylie Banani, thank you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: very much, thanks for your time this morning, Kylie Varani
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: there from the Liberal Democrats. And look, I made the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: executive decision throughout that interview that I think these are
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: going to have to run for five minutes and we
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: have got enough time. Now joining us on the line
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: right now for our next for our next interview, let
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: me just make sure I.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Start or restart at the clock.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: But joining us on the line right now, is I
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a good rich cartling from the Greens.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Good morning to you, Aya.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Good morning Katy. How are you this morning?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Very well? Now let's get into it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I might start with the the first question, why did
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you put your hand up to run in the seat
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: of Solomon?
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course, Well I've put my hand up to
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: run just because I'm really passionate about the territory and
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: making sure that it's a really lovely place to live.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: And you know, I think, like so many people around Australia,
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: I've just felt really uninspired by the current government and
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: also the alternatives. You know, Labor isn't putting forward a
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: strong enough action on climate change. So I've put my
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: hand up to give people the option to vote for
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: the climate to vote to you know, look after everyday
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: people before billionaires, and then we just tax billionaires and
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: make sure that we're looking after our people and putting
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: mental health and dental into medicare so that people can
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: access the services that they need.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Now, what do you see as being the biggest issues
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: in the seat of Solomon.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course. So from the people that I've been
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: speaking to over this election campaign, it's truly obvious that
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: climate action is number one for a lot of people.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: You know, we've seen, you know, the devastating fires and
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: floods over the last few years, and all of these
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: events just seem to be happening more and more often
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: and it's really scary, and it's also really scary just
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: to see that there's not much being put forward to
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: do about it by both of the major parties. But
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: you know, the other thing that people are really concerned
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: about as well is just the cost of living at
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: the moment. You know, too many Australians are struggling to
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: keep the head above water, and too many of these
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Australians are women and young people, and wages are too low,
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: and worker is insecure and housing is too expense. They're
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: particularly you know in Solomon, it has been for a
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: long time, and so it's really important that we are
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: working to make it easier for people to get by.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: So I taking those issues into account, why do you
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: think that you and the party that you're part of
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: will be best place to deal with them?
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course. So the Greens don't take any major
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: donations from big corporations, so unlike all the other parties,
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: you can trust us to put the people first because
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: you know, we don't have these big companies lining our
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: pockets and influencing the policy that we're putting forward. So
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: we actually really do care about about looking after the
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: health and wellbeing of you know, Australia's population and our
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: country is it's really really important we look after that.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Now, who are you going to be preferencing.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: So we've got of course both Boat one Greens and
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: both for the climate in the future. And then at
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: number two we've got a big Ghosling our number three
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: teenam silent. Four we've got Tailor Self, five we've got
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Kylie Banani, and then six we've got Emily from pauland
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Hampson's One Nation. So we're just kind of going in
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: order of the parties that align the best with our policies,
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: you know, looking for a celling it at planet. But
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: also you know, I think, as a few voters down
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: it the polling booth have told me this morning, it's
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: it's pretty interesting to see a very conservative ballot being
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: put up. So you know, I think for a lot
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: of people that are looking for an alternative, it's good
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: to have the Greens in there.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Now, you've still got over a minute, or you've got
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: about a minute thirty left.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Why should people vote for you?
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: I think what's really important is just that you know,
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: I'm a normal person like everyone else. You know, I'm
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: I'm a healthcare worker, I'm a renter. I was born
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: in Zalen, so I know.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: The struggles that every day people face, and I know
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: how hard it can be, particularly at the moment with
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: the cost of living to get by. And I think
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: people can feel really safe if voting for me, that
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: they'll be voting for climate action to keep our beautiful
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: territory and all of our beautiful environments safe and to
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: make their lives better. You know, we see so much.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: You know, people just being really really disinterested in losing
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: a lot of hope in politics, and I think it's
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: really important to get people back engaged and realize that
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: the government should have the best interests of its people
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: at heart, and you know, currently they don't seem to.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: And what I would say as well for everybody is
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: that your vote is really powerful. You know, if just
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: a few hundred people change their votes from the last election,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: the Greens would be in the balance of power. And
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: in the balance of power, the Greens will kick the
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: Liberals out and push the next government to go further
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: and faster on the climate crisis, and make the billionaires
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: and big corporations pay their fair share of tax so
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: that we can get dental and mental health into medicare
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: and ensure everyone has a secure, well paid job and
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: an affordable home.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I a good rich Cartling, you've finished just on time
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: with five seconds to spare.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: We appreciate your time.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: This mo, thanks so much for chatting with us and
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: joining us on the line.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Right now.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Is the incumbent member and of course the ALP's candidate
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: for the.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Seat of Solomon, Luke Gosling. Good morning to you, Luke.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: Good morning Katie.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Luke.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Let's get into it mate. I know that you've been
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: on well, so let's get into it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Are you ready?
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: I'm ready and I'm out of isolation today, so good
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: to go.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Good stuff, all right, here we go, Luke.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Why did you put your hand up again to run
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: for the seat of Solomon?
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: Katie? Has been the greatest honor of my life to
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: serve the people of Darwin and Palmerson. Knowing that's a
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: short answer, but it is a fight, you know, this
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: is serious business. It's representing Darwin and Palmerson down in
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: the Federal Parliament. It's not an auditioned for an anti election.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: It's a fight down then. We've been fighting to get
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: the coalition promises delivered. We've been fighting for better health
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: facilities and we've got that with the Palmerston Hospital and
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: the pet scanners but you're going to remember that's Scott
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: Morris and try to reduce us to one seat. So
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: it's a fight to have our voice heard down in Canberra.
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: It's a fight for territory rights. I've been fighting for veterans,
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: fighting for our small and medium enterprises as well to
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: get more of that defense contract work. Then promoting local
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: businesses as we've done with the Go Local First campaign,
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: and fighting against job Keeper being ripped away when small
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: businesses needed that support the most. So it is a
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: fight down there. But we need someone down there who's experienced,
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: whose network down there and can stand up for us
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: because we're in difficult times, increasing inflation, increasing interest rates,
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: so we need real wages to be keeping up. And
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: that's why people should support me and support federal labor,
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: because we've got fed income, plans to have more secure work,
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: less casual work, more secure work, more skills and training, investment,
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: more affordable housing, and of course social infrastructure that we
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: all know we need because the great territory lifestyle, but
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: if you can afford it, it is so we need
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: to make sure the real wages are going in the
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: right direction. And at the moment under Morrison, everything's going
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: up except for people's wages.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Looke, what do you see as being the biggest issues
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: in the seat of Solomon at the moment?
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: What is that cost of living? I think, Cadie one
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: hundred percent. There are other factors that people think about,
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: and you talk about a lot on your show, Katie.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: But we need solutions. Now. That's why I'm investing in
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: this Youth Engagement center because we need solutions for our
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: young people. We need more training, more skills investment, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 7: that's going to help our young people into the jobs
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: because we need those jobs because industry is screaming out
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: for workers, so we need more secure work. But we
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: also need more of our young people trained up for
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: those jobs. So it's absolutely vital that we attack through
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: things like childcare support. Ninety six percent of territory families
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: are going to get more assistance with childcare and that
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: means that parents can if they want to get back
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: into the workforce, and that's going to help territory families.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: It's going to help Territorians pay their bills, and that's
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: going to be a bigger challenge as time goes on.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Looke, Why do you think that you and the party
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that you're part of. Will be best place to deal
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: with these various issues, well, is Scott Morrison.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: The Coalition have failed over nine years. We've seen no accountability.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: They don't want to be held accountable. They don't want
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: an IKAC and the colp can even said that the
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: other day. Scott Morrison likes it exactly the.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Way it is.
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: Of course he does, because they're rauting. They're using taxpayer
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: money like it's liberal paying money. It's not. It's money
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: that belongs to the Australian people that they work hard
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: for and they pay their taxes. So they want services.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: So when there's promises made, they want it delivered. The
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: only way that you get delivery from Canberra is if
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: you've got a strong voice down there fighting. So that
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: is simply what I'm putting to people is that I
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: have been fighting for them down in camera and I'll
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: continue to do so if they give me their support.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Look a bit over a minute and twenty seconds to go,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: who are you going to be preferencing?
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: It's very simple on the form that they'll get how
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: to vote form Katie one for Luke Gosling and then
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: we're going up up the card two and three, Kylie Bernandi,
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: it's a shame that some of the candidates haven't been
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: able to have a chat with you, and you wonder
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: how serious they are about this business. But I just
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: go to the fact, Katie, that it is a serious business.
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: On your show, you talk about territory issues a lot.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: Eighty percent of the funding that the territory has come
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: from the Commonwealth, So we need a strong voice in camera,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: an albaneathy labor government. If people haven't seen the debates yet,
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: I suggest they have a look at the debates just
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: to have a look at what the differences are, and
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: they are stark. Cost of living is going to continue
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: to be a problem. Scott Morrison's fallen asleep on this watch.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: We even heard a COLP candidate on yours this morning
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: Katie said that they were an average territory, and we'll
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: average territorians aren't on two hundred plus grand a year.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: They're just not. They're struggling with the cost of living.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: They need all the help that they can get and
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: that is what we're offering is scheduled labor, whether it's
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: cheaper childcare or a focus on skills and training for
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: those jobs in the future. But also more secure work
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: and less of this casualization that's seen people's wages go backward.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Look, sorry that was very loud, but we have run
• 16:38

  Speaker 1: Let's go, Tina.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Why did you put your hand up to run for
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: the seat of Solomon.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Because I can do better. Solomon residents need a strong
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: and vocal local MP, connecting business and residence with government
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: and actually seeking an offering solutions. A local member that
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: has business experience and an understanding perspective and driven representation
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: and the top ends needs and that needs to be
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: directly into Canberra. I've been out there, I've worked hard
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: all my life and I wanted that to translate. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: want to give back to the terrorory what the territory
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: is given to me, and we need a local member
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: that's experienced the ups and downs, the hardship and they're
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: in touch with the community and the electric I'm out
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: drawn off nearly every day and speaking to businesses and
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: residents and I'm finding out what's important to them. That's
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: territories and that's why they should support me in this election.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Tina, what do you see as being the biggest issues
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: in the seat of Solomon.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Look, there's a.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Lot of issues that The thing coming through again again
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: is law and order, the cost of living, aged care
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: is also really raising its head a lot, and cyber
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: safety for our children. That's been the fun of people's minds.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: When I'm talking to people and drawn off in businesses
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: and residents, I recognize law and order and anti social
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: behavior in the NP. It is the worst it's ever been.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: I've been here thirty five years and I've just never
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: seen anything like it. The rising cost of living that's
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: huge issues because obviously, you know, we all know we've
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: got increased fuel costs, even though the my Some government
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: has returning twenty two in exercise to the next six months.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I think it is. And the other very important issue,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: as I said earlier, was the lack of age care facilities.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: As people are getting older. There's been thirty or forty
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: place has been allocated to the NT and the Labor
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: government's been sitting on their hands and they haven't tended
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: that out. There's residents that live here. They don't want
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: to go south, they don't want their families to move,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: They want to stay out here. They love the territory
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: and this is where they've you know, this is where
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: they want to remain, stay home and territory. Labor's absolutely
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: failed in so many of these areas, I mean, the
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: law and order and crime. It's just phenomenal. I mean,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: Luke's been the members since feeling nothing has been achieved,
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: has simply got worse and worse for worse it's ever been.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Tina, why do you think that you and the party
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: that you're huddle will be best place to deal with
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: these issues?
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Well, like territorians, well know, with convictions work and Grett
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: absolutely anything is possible. I've been in business for thirty years,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: so I understand the challenges based by local businesses and
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: by people in the community. I've been involved in local government,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: community organizations, non for profit. I've been out there listening
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: to the locals over the last twelve months, and i
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: understand the challenges that are facing them. Like territorians, I'm
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: tired of spit self interested elect federal elected members. Should
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: residents place their trust in me and I'm successful, I'll
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: keenly embrace the opportunity with both hands. I'll consistently step
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: up with vigor, stamina and pride, ensuring the NT is
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: heard and the front of mind within the Federal Parliament
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: and can us. We need to really show camera that
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: there is unique things up here and we do need
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: them to step up and really address a lot of
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: the issues that are concerning territory in Tina.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: We've got about a minute and five seconds left. Firstly, preferences.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Who are you going to be preferencing?
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Firstly, we are pressing Kyli Banani the Liberal Democrats, and
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: then we follow I'm pretty sure, Gosh, I don't have
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: that in front of me where we go the Liberal Democrats,
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: then the Pauline Hanson's Party, and then calm Unite that's
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: the Labor then.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: The Greens now just finally Tina, why should people vote
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: for you?
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Because I can work hard and I can do better
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: And as I said, you know, I have been in
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: the territory for thirty five years. I know and understand
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: what territoriums need. I'm out there, I'm listening, I'm on
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: the ground. I think so many politicians really don't take
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: the time to listen and talk to the businesses, talk
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: to the people on the ground. And it's not just
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: about talking to them, it's actually listening and then feeding
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: that back in. That's got to feedback into the community
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: and our parliamentarians down in Canberra. We need to really
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: have a.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Lowed tho we have run out of time.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Tina McFarland, the COLP candidate for the seat of Solomon,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much for your time this morning.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Thank you very much.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
