  Speaker 1: Joining us on the line right now is Shane get A.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Shane.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Cody and your listeners.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Mate.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: I'm good to chat with you this morning.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I understand that you've actually launched a petition of no
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: confidence in the Chief minister.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Talk us through what you've done.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: All we've done, Katie. We're setting up petition because I've
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: spoken to a lot of territory residents and obviously taxpayers
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: how money that's been spent by the government, and they're
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: not happy with obviously the crime that's happening, the breach
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: of bil conditions with the kids. You know, that also
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: falls onto the police department. Everybody that I've spoken to you,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: and I'm saying to quite a few people over the
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: last four dollars, so not one person's got a bad
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: word to say about the police department. Yeah, they're all
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: saying the government's not supporting. We don't have enough police
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: obviously do their jobs, and the retention rate is absolutely outrageous.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: And as we're all aware, just recently the nursing attorneys
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: all come out and said they're overworked and not enough staff.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, this is the thing I think we're
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: hearing it from you from so many different places. Shane
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: tell us about the petition that you've launched, and I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: understand that you've sort of done it the good old
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: fashioned way, where it's actually you know, it's a paper
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: petition rather than online, so that you can make sure
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that there's sort of no way of the government trying
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to avoid it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, putting it onlines doesn't comply, So we've been very
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: careful in the way that we've done this. If we're
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: complying with all the proper legislation, their eyes across our
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: teas in regards to setting up petition. Look, people that
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I've spoken to are just so set up, and it's
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: amazing the amount of people that have given up. They're
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: so frustrated in the government. And if it doesn't medicating
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: on who you voted for, who you're voted for in
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the last selection is irrelevant. It all comes down to us,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the taxpayer. We're not being listened to.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And this is I think I hear this so loudly
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and clearly, you know on different days shame where we
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: all get a bit frustrated, myself included, where you think,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you know, you just want them to actually listen to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: what people are saying and listen to the concerns that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: people have got.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: And that's exactly right. Okay, it's becoming a bit of
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: a broken record in the territory. Mister Gunner hasn't got
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the forethroight to stand up and speak to people about
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the issues that are consent territorians. I mean, this petition
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: is going to Catherine Tannan Creek and Alice Springs. People
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: from those suburbs have already been in contact with me.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: They're desperate for this petition to go through the rest
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: of the territory. I've had phone calls from Druid Island.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: When's it coming over there? You know, people have obviously
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: had enough, you know, so the best thing we can do,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: and that's why we've called our Facebook page Territorians Unite.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: It's all about territories getting together, sticking together, being a
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: population and a voice of one.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I'm just having a look at that Facebook page now, Shane,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and you know, I think it's fair enough.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I think it's entirely fair enough that you've done this.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Mate.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: How many people have signed the petition so far?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Or is it still very early days?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: It's early days. I did some promotion on Saturday at
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: on Point in Palmson had about eighty people come past
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: and have a good chat that we sell fun on
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Sunday and about another sixty people come past out of chat,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: so numbers are increasing. We've got probably eight or ten
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: different places where the petition is at which people can
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: see on territory tonight, where the business are supporting us,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: and we will be moving those places around. I've already
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: been bagged out by the people in the northern suburbs
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: asking an engineering prime down there, so the petition will
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: be heading down towards you guys in Nightcliff shortly. Sorry guys,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: it is on the well.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It sounds like you're one man bando trying to get
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it around everywhere. So so people just need to be
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit patient as well and understand that you're
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: doing your best.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is a big picture, Katie. It's not something
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: that's going to finish overnight. This is a big picture.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: We're talking about all the people in the territory uniting
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: together as one voice to let mister go to know
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: and his government. You know that the people aren't happy.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: We need change, We need miss to go to the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: stand up, listen to the people. Twelve months ago, as
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: you're aware we run a rally in regards to the
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: breach of bar conditions for the children and what happened,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: mister Ganna went against public opinion and twelve months later,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: we've got crime outrageous in our community. We got I
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: was suppose to people yesterday and for a sixty year
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: old couple to have a full alarm system, the streamers,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the lights, the whole box and dice that have also
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: got two deadlocks on their bedroom doorcading. Yeah, that tells
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you what people are concerned about. They're concerned about this
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: safety's letting us down.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Well, do you know what, mate, Like my mom, where
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: my mom lives, she flies in and out of Madame Greda,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: so where she lives. Even you know, we went out
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to her place recently while she was away, and you know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you could see that somebody had tried to rip the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: fly screen off her windows. And then security at the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: property next door there was actually somebody you know, sort
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of patrolling the area and said, yeah, because it's a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: big you know, it's more of an industrial spot. Dad said, yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: there was people on the block last night, and so
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: there's been private security hired to make sure you know
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that no one's able to get in. And I think
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to myself, you know, whenever I hear of somebody who's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: been impacted by crime's you know that's in their sixties,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in their seventies, eighties, nineties, it makes me think of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: my parents or my grandparents, and it makes me feel
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: incredibly worried about our scene is within our community. They
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: should not feel as though they're unsafe.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: No, they should ever leave their doors and windows open.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Let the cawl berries come through and enjoy the territory.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Whether unfortunately, the society has changed and the government has
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: allowed that society to change in regards to some of
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: these breach of by OL conditions, the lack of policing
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: in the territory. And look, I've got to feel sorry
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: for the health people in the health system as well, Katie.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: You know, the mental health area of this country is
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: in big term all over COVID, but in the territory
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: of particular, we got people struggling, really struggling, and people
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: have had breaking interest those people plays on mental health. Yeah,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: try and get an appointment, Try and get an appointment.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: That's a six month late.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, goodness, May's that's sad to hear. It's really sad
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to hear, Shane.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean you look at what the governor's stall
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: with our money. It's economic mismanagement. You know, you've heard
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: on your show many many times about the brand stands. Yeah,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the underground carpet, a million dollars a day in debt.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: How our kids and our grandkids going to live in
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: a sustainable territory?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Look, Shane, the issues that you're raising are ones which
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I you know, I think about, I hear about, I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: talk about on a daily basis, So they're certainly not
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: lost on May Mate. What eventually prompted you to get
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to this point where you thought, do you know what
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I'm actually going to set this petition up?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Look, we're in business ourselves, Katie, and we've been broke
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: into numerous times. We nearly lost the business a couple
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: of weeks ago. It was only through public support and
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: public health that we actually got the business reopened. And
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: that sort of put me in a situation where not
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: really felt obliged. I had to do something. You know.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: The people of the territory helped us, you know, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: helped us open the doors. And now it's my turn
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to repay the territory. I love the territory. I've been
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: here thirteen years and I've seen the opportunities decrease over
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: those thirteen years. You know, the classic one is twelve
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: point six million dollars spent on Be Secure. Hey, look,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: great program. Don't get me wrong, because it's about crime.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: But shouldn't that money have been spent in preventing crime
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: before it got to this point twelve point six million dollars?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Surely that money could have been spent in a better way.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you what, Shane, there's going to be
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: so many people listening this morning who think you are
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: speaking real common sense.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Where can they go if they want to sign your petition?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Look, if there's quite a few places around, I'll try
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: and these pla as I can Tady Virginia Store out
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: in the northern suburbs Norton, so down in the rural area.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: We've got Taaroo Territory, Ant Motorcycles, Manhattan's Cafe, My World,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Palmerston Golf Club on Point, but Barber's at Palmerston, I
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: j at how Springs and Anti Powersports out at Calling
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the Central and the list is growing.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Well, we really appreciate you having a chat with us today.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Shane keeping contact mate, let us know how it's all progressing,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and you know, we'll try to make sure that people
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: know where you are and how they can find you
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: as well if they contact us here at the station.
• 8:17

• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Good on your Shane, thank you, Thanks for.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Having a chat Johnny, Katie, thank you.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It is just sixteen minutes away from midday and I
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: tell you what, I know that there'll be people listening
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: who will want to jump on board and really, you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: sign that petition and agree with things that Shane has said.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I know some of you won't, but hey, that's why
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: we make sure that we speak to everybody on this show,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: whether we agree or disagree, or whether you do or
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you don't. But I actually think that what Shane's doing
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is fair enough. You know. I know that his family's
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: business has been impacted when it comes to crime, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you can understand why there are people within the community
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: at the moment who are feeling incredibly frustrated.
