Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joining us live on the line is the incumbent ALP
member Joel A.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Bout And good morning to.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
You, Joel, Good morning Katie.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
All right, Joel, We've got seven minutes and a number
of questions to get through.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Are you ready to get started?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Hit me? Let's go, all right, Joel. Why have you
decided to put your hand up to run again?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Well, because I am embedded in the community. My family
have been here for generations and I love serving the community,
whether it's in sport, whether that's in family, whether that's
in the community, in just basic infrastructure like parks, basketball courts,
tanners courts and the associated things that come with just
having a happy lifestyle within the Northern Territory.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Now, why do you think you're the best person for
the role based on, you know, your previous experience not
only in the job now, but also in the community
and through other work that you do.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah, I've had extensive experience outside the territory, but also
grew up in al Springs, know the territory from north
south east to west. I've got extensive education and education
and MBA and I'm nearly finished a law degree. But
I've also had now four and a half years in
government and you need someone in government who can advocate
for your community. For the seat of Johnston, which is
(01:10):
Milner Moyle Jingly another one who can get things like
which I've committed to two point four million dollars for
changed rooms for mindal aces at the bag At Park.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Now, in terms of the issues facing your electro, what
are the biggest issues that people are raising with you
on the doors.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well, there's always crime and antisocial behavior Cady, that comes
up regularly. But we also have the three ees, the economy,
education and also the environment. Look, this government is trying
to address all of the concerns with five hundred and
seventy million dollars or two hundred more police. We've got
an environment plan, We've got an education plan to fully
fund schools moving forward. I know Jason Clair, the Education Minister,
(01:50):
is in Dahwen this week to sign that off. And
the economy, we continue to invest in the economy and
look our sixty thousand dollars incentive for home ownership to
build a new home in the Northern Territory. For territories,
we'll kick start the building industry and will help move
the economy forward.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Joel, there'll be some in your electorate who are thinking
to themselves, well, there's been eight years for labor to
try and turn some of these things around, particularly crime
and anti social behavior, and you've not been able to.
What do you say to those listeners.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Well, we're working on the immediate impacts, of course, with
extra police and extra funding, but we're also working on
the other determining factors. Number one is education and number
two is housing, and they're interchangeable. They're probably both number
one housing and education. We've got four billion dollars that's
going into housing, and we've got an extra billion dollars
going to education. That is to try and cut it
(02:40):
off before it starts. We are dealing with the outcome
or the symptoms of the problem. What we need to
do is remove them as best we possibly can in
an environment and a population that needs as much support
education and housing that we can possibly give them. The
relationship that we've got with the federal government with Anthony Albanezi,
Jim Chalmers, the Treasurer self ideal directly with Katherine King,
(03:02):
the Infrastructure Minister, is exemplary and we are so thankful
that the Feds are continued to invest in the Northern
Territory because that's what we need. We need investment and
we need the federal government, the Canberra politicians to support
us as well as locals.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Dol.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I know the electoral boundaries have changed to some degree.
But one of the issues that has been raised with
us in recent months, and we've asked the candidates for
Nightcliff and we'll do the same for Fanny Bay as well,
is about Saint Vinnie's moving into coconut growth.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Is this something that you support.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It has been supported by the Labor government. I know
there have been some divergent views, but we're also working
with Saint Vincenter Paul's on a longer term plan, so
the move into Coconut Grove is a semi permanent plan.
I've been working with them as the Planning Minister or
Infrastructure Minister on a longer term solution for their accommodation needs.
So they've moved out of the Fonglim elector they've moved
(03:56):
into the Fanny Bay Electric I'm working closely with them
and the community, Mark monahand Frong Whim and Brent Potter
Fanny Bay as to a long term solution and that
includes planning and the allocation of land.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It hasn't moved yet though now.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
It hasn't moved yet, but it's happening in the near future.
They've started the development down in Coconut Grove.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
All right, couple of quick ones. Do you live in
the electorate?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, I live just outside the electorate.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
In terms of your preference, aware of.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
That Codie, that's been a long standing element and you
know I alerted the electorate to that just before the
by election and it continues to be education.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Now, that's all right.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's something I'll ask all of the candidates this morning
as well.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
For this electorate in terms of your preferences.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Is that something that has been decided upon yet or
is labor going to sort of go across the board
with their preferences.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
The party organizes preferences. It's not something that's done personally,
but the party will. But we will always put the
CLP last.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now, in terms of gas development, do you support the
development of gas particularly on shore?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
We signed some deals with Tambour and recently the Empire
Agreement has just come out and we are working diligently
with those companies to ensure that we have a gas
solution moving forward. As we transition to renewables.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So you do, Joel or the team does.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I do, and we have demonstrated that with those contracts
we've signed with Tambran and Empire recently.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
All Right, we're at about a bit over five minutes,
Joel Adham.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Why should people vote for you?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Why should people vote for me, Katie? Because I'm a
great advocate for the Seed of Johnston and I've delivered
on the promises previously. We've supported the community through COVID.
I was delivering groceries when we couldn't do much. I
was delivering groceries to the elderly in the Seed of Johnson.
As we've moved forward, I've now been elevated in the
cabinet and if there's an issue that you've got in Johnson,
you can come to my office or you can come
to me directly and we address it as best he
(05:46):
possibly can. We don't solve every problem that you've got,
but we work diligently as a team and as a
labor government. We can deliver for the people of Johnson
as well as the Northern Territory.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You've got a little bit left.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Anything else you want to say quickly before were you go, Yes, Katie.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Look, we're about creating jobs and supporting the bigger picture
and a more secure workforce. As the Business, Jobs and
Skills Minister, I've worked diligently and very very hard after
over the last nine months to develop a workforce plan
and we know that one of the biggest issues in
the economy is the workforce. I've done summits business summits
across the territory and in the top three is always workforce.
(06:24):
The lawl Lavy government has also got a common sense
approach to crime, five hundred and seventy million dollars more
into the budget and two one hundred two hundred more
police plus twenty five call center operators. If you vote
for Joe Bowden, what you see is what you get.
I used to play for the Richmond Football Club, but
now I'm playing for the Johnston team and we work
(06:46):
hard and we deliver on what we say. We're going
to deliver well.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Joel Bouden, thank you very much for your time this morning.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
We'll talk to you soon. Thanks Katie, thank you
