Speaker 1 (00:00):
I believe we've got on the line right now. We
are going to head across and kick off our meet
the candidates for the seat of Nelson and joining us
live on the line right now is indeed Jared Malee,
the incumbent. Good morning to you, Jared.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Good morning, Katie, Good morning listeners.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
All right, mate, you're ready to get started. You've got
seven minutes.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Okay, I'm ready to get Let's do it.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
All right, Jared, why did you decide to put your
hand up to run again?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well, Katie, look, I think the territory is worth fighting for.
It's certainly not the same place that I grew up
here in the rural area right across the Northern Territory,
and unfortunately, I think the territory is a lifestyle has
changed for the worst. It's not the land of opportunity
where it should be. I'm passionate about helping others in
future generations for Territorians as most people when I was
(00:47):
born here. I live in the rural area moment really
my entire life, and I do think that the Labor
government has failed the territory and failed the rule are
especially over the last eight years. But crime's out of control.
It doesn't matter where you live. Everyone's being infected in
the Northern Territory. In fact, even my wife was the
victim when she went to buy the lunch for the
(01:07):
children over at cooling the Central and frontly with some
book Crazy with the Knights. Everyone deserves to be safe.
And I just think that the Labor government have failed
the territories right across the board. Enough, enough economy is
going backwards. Who've had the last or the worst economy
in five years? And just the economy itself speaks for itself.
(01:28):
Where eleven billion dollars worth of debt, it's been increasing
year after year. And look, I think the Labor government
had forgotten the rural area. And I've been out with
Andrew McKay and Pru Servatrees right across the royal areas.
People have been telling us that it's time for change
the government and that the COLP is the way to go.
And I just really believe that the Labor government have
(01:49):
ignored the rural area. Crime has gone out of control,
and I think it's time to change. And really they
can't afford another four years of a labor They've been
in power for some nineteen other last twenty three years
and it's time for change. In Voting for the CLP
is really the only way to go. But we're part
of a strong team led by Leofanocairo. She's going to
(02:11):
do a great job as the next Chief Minister and
I think it's time for a change. Really, the CLP
has got a strong team. It's got a really diverse
group of people. We've got real life experience, we've got
government experience, and we can lead the Northern territories and
move forward.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Jared, what would you say are your biggest achievements in
the electorate since becoming the local member?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well looks ultimately, I think probably one of the biggest
ones I did as I rode forty two k's to
write five hundred dollars for the house rings Scout. That
was a big ride and my poor little leggies. But
in a serious note, I've helped lots of people across
the Royal Area, and it's rural residents, some older ones
helping out dealing with government organizations and filling out forms.
I've helped people with potholes on their roads. I've helped
(02:56):
people deal with wondering stock. I've advocated for residence to
clean up the bike paths do you or our boat
ramps And I've worked with companies such as Celsa to
try and get better coverage across the Northern Territory and
look the seal piece committed to sixteen in the Northern
territories where like enough to get into power. We're going
to put some lights in all build oval so the
(03:16):
AFL team can train under lights and play under lights
over there. We're going to help the help you do
golf clubs fix there on playground. They've been fundraising for
multiple years to try and get their up their playground
up and running and we want to help them do that.
I can continue to work for an advocate for a
rural residents right across the Northern Churchy no matter what
happens on Saturday. But I just think helping the people
(03:36):
in the rural area, just those little things that make
a big difference to people who don't know where to
go to, don't know who to turn. My door's always open.
I've been on the side of the road on many
many occasions and people come in just for a chat
about little issues of just having a talk with them
help them normally. So it's all about helping the rural area.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Jared, what do you see as being the biggest issues
in the electros Cuddie.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I think the biggest issues is our rural lifestyle and
planning issues right across the territory. The Labor government seems
to ignore the rural area. We had a lack of infrastructure,
Our safety is a big issue out here, and all
those things are impacting on our rural lifestyle. You know,
people want to be able to go to the boat
ramps and leave their car and not get broken into.
People aren't able to go to the local shops that
(04:22):
are having knives held at them or the cars getting stolen.
So we really need to make sure that our rural
lifestyle remains rural because people move out here to have
that rural lifestyle and it just seems to be getting
eroded by the Labor government. So the biggest issue would
just be rural lifestyle. And also water is a big
issue out here. Most people in the rural area rely
(04:43):
on bores, so we need to make sure that the
water tables have kept up to scratch. Because of it.
Adding water, you can't do anything. So they're the main
issues that I see, and of course it's a lack
of infrastructure. Our roads are bad, you know, the highways
get cut. So we need to little things add up
to big things, and that what the Northern Territory government
has forgotten in the rural.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Area, Jared, where you've got about two minutes thirty left
based on those issues, why do you think you're the
best person for the role and fixing those issues?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, looks Katie. Like many territories, I have a trade.
I'm a qualified mechanic. I went back to still school
and later in life and got a certificate three in
business and then got a law degree as well, and
I operated a small business with my brother out here
doing law and helping many rule residence. And I just
think that my experience off with my trade. My professional
(05:36):
background had also been a long term charity resident I live.
I live in basically the same house so I grew
up and we moved out here cyclone Tracy and my
family moved next door. My mum still lives in the
house that we spent Cyclone Tracy. So I just think,
with my passion for the rural area, my background as
a trade and also as a lawyer can help right
(05:57):
across the territory. Just bring something to the care which
is passion, which is I know you're really hard to teach,
hard to learn, but when you've been in the area
for a long time, you get to know where the
roads are bad, you need to get to know where
things flood, and you get to know what problems are happening.
You get to know that lots of people and I've
been here a long time and people know that they
(06:18):
can come and have a chat to me, whether it's
on the spy the side of the road, or is
that a sporting event that I go to or just
a function in the community. That's why I think I'm
the best person for the job.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Jared just under a minute to Goo. Why should people
vote for you?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Well, look, I'm a passionate rural person and I really
care about the rural area, and I care about people's
rights and make sure they have access to water and
we have and maintain our rural lifes are I've lived
here a long time and I just really think that
the government has forgotten the rural area. And importantly, I'm
part of a CLP team. We are a strong team.
(06:55):
We've got a strong leader and together as a team
at the seat of govern where we can actually make
decisions that will affect the rural area that is important.
Without that access to that government table, we are just
sitting in the back, crying and winging. I want to
make a difference and I think being part of the
team is a really, really big advantage. Our team is strong,
(07:17):
We've got people from all walks of life and it
will make a massive difference to the Northern territories. The
Seal Pod on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Well, Jared, you're just on time, seven minutes and two seconds.
Thank you very much for your time this morning, and
we'll catch up with you again soon.
