• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now, I mentioned a short time ago that Namajerra MLA.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Bill Yan has been left pretty frustrated after Facebook candied
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: him a twenty four hour band for posting a forty
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: second clip voicing residents concerns about the crime race in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Alice Springs. Now Bill Yan joins me on the line
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: right now. Good morning to you, Bill.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Good morning Katie, and good morning. Can you listening?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Bell? Banned from Facebook? What happened?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I've been throwing the proverbial Facebook job. I'll dog and
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: kick that one off the bucket list.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Now, mate, what did you post? Well?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Last week I was out talking to people at Ladder
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Penn and just hearing what's going on out there, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: there's still raising concerns about crime issues out in the
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: suburbs and kids breaking into houses, but more importantly, my
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: kids throwing rocks at cars when people are driving that night.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So I raised that as part of that post and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: sort of said that govern needs to stump up now
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: and start pushing some resources out in the suburb to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: try and deal with some of the issues out there.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: And yeah, Friday morning got up and being banned from Facebook.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I've been tossed. So someone obviously didn't like the fact
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: that I raised the issue of what tappening out at
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Lara Pinder. Must have made it to Facebook, and yeah,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I've got tossed for twenty four hours.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: How bizarre. So Bill had just said anything particularly controversial.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: No, compared to some of the stuff that I put up, Katie,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: it was. It was fairly tame as far as postgas.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: It was just relating the facts and relating the issues
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: of the people out at Lara Pinter about what's going
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: on out there. And yeah, obviously I said someone didn't
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: like it. Someone took a fence and you know, all
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I got was this message, you've breached the community standards
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: on Facebook. I'm getting sure what those community standards really are.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Literally was then trying to try to deal with it
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and trying to sort out which effectively became impossible, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: just at the end of the day just gave up
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and just wore the bend. I suppose bell was anything.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: That you'd posted in that, you know, that short bit
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of vision and what you'd posted, was any of it untrue?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: No, certainly not, Kadie. So this is what the people
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: in the community and out in the suburb of Lardipinda
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: here in all springs were actually telling me these are
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the things that are happening to them, and those are
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the things that are keeping them effectively awake at night.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: So I didn't mention any names. It was only me.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: There was nobody else in the videos. So the fact
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: that someone got a bit sad about it and must
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: have reported the Facebook and got me shut down is
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: sort of beyond belief.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, Well, Bill, we're not
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: into censorship here on three sixty. So what exactly are
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the issues that they're raising with you in Larapinta? Tell
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: us and tell our listeners, because I think that other
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Territorians would want to know.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Well, we've seen a bit of a change and what's
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: happening down here in Centralustrae. So it has quieted down
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: in the CBD, but we still have a lot of
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: youth crime going on, and it's moving out of the
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: suburbs because there's been a big push from police to
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: take on what's happening in the CBD. So what's happening
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: out in the suburbs is there's still gangs of kids
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: breaking into houses out there. But the big thing that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: everybody spoke to me about and it's been going on
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: now for months, is kids around the Linda Vale area
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: throwing rocks at cars and throwing rocks at houses, So
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: people are driving to and from the homes, the cars
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: are getting rocks and cars are getting damage. But also
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: kids throwing rocks on people's houses, so solar systems are
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: being damaged, smashed windows in the units and in the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: house of out Randall, a picture area. So this has
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: been going on for ages. People have been reporting at
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the police. The police they're really really difficult, I think,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to be able to deal with this sort of stuff.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: That you've got a holy nobile kids who are sort
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of in and out doing the damage, and the police
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: have also been tied up looking after what's taking place
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: in CBD. So that's what's happening out now, somebody. It's
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: not just Lara Pender tapping all over our springs and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I think certainly having in Tenant and Catherine and you're
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: starting to see some of those issues now in Daroe.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well we are. That's exactly right, Hey, Bill, talk
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: us through. I mean, since since the Prime Minister and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: indeed the Chief Minister were in Alice Springs and I
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: understand that the Chief Minister has been back since then
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: as well. But since that visit, since that Darrell Anderson
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: report came out, and since that enormous amount of Monday
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: was announced two hundred and fifty million dollars, I believe
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it amounted to what changes have you seen in Central
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Australia and have things calm down?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Well, we've seen some change to the alcohol laws here,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: so we are reduction takeaway day, so the Monday and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Tuesday bands for take away and reduction now for the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: rest of the week. And of course the latest phase
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: for one of the better terms, the reintroduction of the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Stronger Futures legislation across the number of our communities. But
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: we've certainly seen a reduction in the amount of people
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: on the ufens whole drunks on the streets during the day.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: They've shifted on whether it be we've heard about man Eyes.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Of course, Catherine and Dale they've moved out of our area,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: so that's been a bit of a welcome relief for
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: people here in town. But we're still seeing lots and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: lots of kids on the streets all hours of the night.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I said, some of them are getting up to mischief,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: some of them are that that is still taking place.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: We're still seeing the crime happening. There's a horrendous incident
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: that happened, I believe in town over night where a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: young boy witnessed something that he shouldn't have and then
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: he sort of harmed himself as well. So I'm waiting
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to get some confirmation with what took place here. But
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: these are still horrendous things that have happened to kids
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: in our community. And we're still seeing crimes against people
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: at home and businesses and vandalism still across the board.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: So that's still going on. The Chief Ministers actually here today,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I believe, Yeah, right, So I'm trying to sort out
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: a crisis within our health system down here in Central Australia.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: What's that I don't get health We can't get health
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: staff for one hundred and forty four. This is a
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: midwives down I know Cathatch has been crying out for action.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: A lot of it stems back to the anti social
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: behavior we've been seen. The hospital here and a health
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: team here now had to come to the point where
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: they've got buses and people driving buses to move our
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: health professions to and from work, so they're not targeted
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: by violence and anti social behavior. That's what it's comes
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: to in Central Australia.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Goodness may we might have to try and get Cathacher
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on the show again to find out, you know, a
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: little bit more about that situation with those health workers.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: But that's pretty unbelievable, isn't it. I mean, if they're
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: having to be bus to and from work to ensure
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: their safety, to me, like that is unbelievable.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Bill, Yeah, I said, sadly, that's what has come to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: in our community that our health professionals, our health staff
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: have to be said, bust to and from their homes
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: or our central point to the hospital and back so
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: they're not subject to violence and anti social behavior. So
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty sad indictment on our community. I'm really
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: sad to have to say that sort of Yah, that's
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: what it's come to. But at the end of the day,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: if we have to do that to protect our health professionals,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: will save it. I'll give credit where credits you good
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: on the health of partner stumping up and do something
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: to make sure that our health professionals kept saying.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, if that's what
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: needs to be done to ensure their safety, then that's
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: what needs to be done. Hey Bill, a few weeks
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: ago you and I spoke after the terrible situation that
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the wonderful Fond had been put into with her young fellow,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: her little her son, a teenager, being assaulted and then
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: trying to relocate to Darwin. Is there much of an update?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Okay? I do have that I caught up with Fond
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: yesterday up a cross passing in the supermarket. Sadly, Friday
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: week ago, her son was attacked again the same group
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of kids. Yep, so that was the third time. So
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: they're trying now to get an apprehended what I think
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: is a violence order or something like that, but anyway,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: in order to stop these kids from coming anywhere here
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and they came back to his school again. Fine finishes
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: up here with help on the sixteenth. So she's and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: looked thanky to everybody who donated to help her out.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: She's on the move to Darwin. She'll be starting work
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: up this soon. Still having some difficulties trying to find
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: her somewhere to live, like the rental market in Darwin's
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: pretty tight, so and of course she doesn't have a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: huge budget being a single mum, So I'm making a
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: few phone calls. I know the team and the opposition
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: leader's office have been onto some people as well, trying
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: to find some suitable accommodation for rent over around that
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: DAR and hospital area so they don't have to drive
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: a huge genuses to get to and from work. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: this also helps out with Eck and his school. So
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: they're not a great situation what's been happening, But there's
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: light at the end of the tunnel upon you should
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: be getting out of el soonully, getting her and stn
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: up to a safe environment, I really hope.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So I cannot believe that there was a third attack
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: on him on Friday last week. That is heartbreaking stuff.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's ongoing. I am. I caught up
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: with it a little while ago, and yeah, look so
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: horrible that for the young fellow so despond Yeah, if
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: you're scared going to school every day and scared to
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: leave the house, and you can't live like that. So
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm saying to see fine in a family leaving town.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I hope people leaving Old Springs, but I hold high
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: hopes for them to be able to get out and
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: start again in.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Darn Yeah, I agree with you. Bill. Look, we've got
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: plenty of messages coming through this morning. There's one here.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: The woke army are working hard on the cancel culture.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I can't speak the truth about the art of control
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: crime across the Northern Territory. We have all had it
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: up to our ears and trying to silence those speaking
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: out will only make the community stronger. And Louder says
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that text message, and I think that that is one
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: hundred percent correct. Honestly, trying to stop people from speaking
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the truth is never going to stop the issues and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: make them go away.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, look, if I've got to keep doing what
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I'm doing to hold the government to account, sometimes, sadly
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the only way I can seem to get this government
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to take any action is to either shame them publicly
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: on social media or in the mainstream media. And if
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I've got to continue to do that, and I copped
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the occasional Facebook band for speaking out, speaking the truthfull,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: that's the price I'm just going to have to pay
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: make sure the divorces the people down here keep getting hurt.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yep, fair enough, I think it's absolutely fair enough. Bill Yan,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: the member Fanamajira always appreciate your time. Thanks so much
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: for having a chat with us this morning.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Thanks Katie and have a good day you too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Thank you
