Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, another busy hour coming your way. We'll get the
latest in local news with Kathleen in just a moment.
And then we are going to continue that discussion that
we've been having about the working holiday visas and the
impact that it is going to have on the tourism
sector should these changes go ahead. Also this hour at 10.30,
you're going to be hearing from Matt Canavan, the Nationals Senator.
(00:22):
He'll be joining us in the studio because, well, the CLP,
as we touched on, they're having like their their conference,
aren't they?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Yep, Central Council. They usually get one of the federal
people of their team, whether it's a minister, a coalition
or nationals, generally the nationals, but certainly sometimes a Liberal
figure if it's a Prime Minister has come up in
the past to talk at Central Council.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
There's been Tony Abbott here, hasn't there?
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yep, so this is when the party pushes for their
own certain policies that they want the parliamentary wing to
take up.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yep, so today we'll have the nationals leader on the show.
and talk a little bit more about what he's here for.
But also, there's been a lot going on nationally, and
you and I have been discussing quite a bit of it.
But there's been some big push, I guess, from... Senator
Jackie Lambie, following on from this video or this cartoon
that the One Nation leader, Pauline Hanson, oh, she went off.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Didn't she?
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Like it's still replaying today on the news as well.
She just went right off. She took it really personally.
She's really angry at the One Nation leader about this cartoon.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
They also have a bit of personal beef anyway, as
it is. I think Pauline Hanson accused Jackie of stepping
away from, I think, drug testing of around something. And
obviously Jackie Lambie's son had an addiction to methamphetamine. So
it was quite a personal affront between them. So I
think there's probably a little bit of that in play.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
A bit of bad blood, maybe. Nonetheless, I thought it
was a poor move, to be honest with you, by
Pauline Hanson with that cartoon.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
We saw Barnaby apologise as well. He stepped back from it. But,
you know, Pauline doesn't Step away from that kind of thing.
And as far as I'm aware, the cartoon is still there.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, I think it is as well. Anyway, we'll talk
a little bit more about that. There's lots on the agenda.
But Kathleen, what's making local news?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well, a coronial inquest has found former NT police officer
Michael Dutram died by suicide in April 2022 after suffering
a severe mental health injury linked to trauma and stress
from his 23 years of frontline service. The findings were
handed down today by Coroner Judge Elizabeth Armitage. Mr Dutram
was 44 when he died at his parents' home in
(02:35):
South Australia after being unable to continue working and facing
uncertainty about his future following his sudden departure from the force.
Coroner Armitage has made seven recommendations to the NT Police Force,
including psychological assessments for officers seeking long-term remote postings and
a formal pathway for members suffering mental health injuries. Another
(02:56):
recommendation calls for lessons from Mr Dutram's experience to be
incorporated into police recruitment and ongoing training with a focus
on cumulative impact of trauma and stress. In a statement,
Commissioner Martin Dole says the NT Police Force acknowledges the
findings handed down today. He says they'll now carefully consider
the coroner's findings and recommendations. Commissioner Dole says the wellbeing
(03:19):
of employees remains a priority for the organisation and And
in the lead up to the release of the findings,
they've put support measures in place for employees. NT Police
have charged two men and seized several electronic devices as
part of three separate investigations targeting online child exploitation. In
the first investigation, a Darwin man has been charged in
(03:40):
relation to multiple online child exploitation offences. WA police tipped
off the Northern Territory Joint Anti-Child Exploitation Team, alleging a
60-year-old man had used a video chat platform to engage
in online sexual activity with a child under the age
of 16. Officers executed a search warrant on the man's
Fanny Bay home on August 31 and seized electronic devices
(04:03):
containing evidence. He was arrested and faces multiple charges. Meanwhile,
a man who allegedly used cryptocurrency to access online child
abuse material has also been arrested. The Australian Centre to
Counter Child Exploitation provided intelligence to NTJESC, who executed a
search warrant on the man's home in Gunn on September 1.
(04:25):
And in the third investigation, a home in the Darwin's
Rural area has been searched in relation to several similar offences.
The United States National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children
had made a report to the ACCCC of an online
user in the NT allegedly uploading child abuse material. And
(04:45):
Royal Darwin Hospital's maternity ward is being temporarily located today
as major air conditioning upgrades begin. The three-week project includes
modifications to the ward's duct work to improve airflow with
the half a million dollar upgrade funded into this year's
Territory Budget. Maternity services will move from Level 6 to
Level 4 while the works are underway. With NT Health
(05:07):
warning there may be some disruption... but will monitor any
impact on bed capacity and elective surgeries. Acting CEO Susan
Bowden says the upgrades will improve comfort for patients, family
and staff, particularly ahead of the wet season.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Good stuff. We got there in the end, Kate.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's a lot of different units and heavy stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Lots of different things to talk about there today. And, Will,
didn't really get to warm up because you were straight
in here for the week that was as well.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yes, very much. So I should do reading cold. Thank
you to our news director, Tani Maxwell, for providing me
with some of those stories. Oh, she's a.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Little legend as well. Try my best. What a team.
