Speaker 1 (00:00):
My Heart a Peninsula coming up funding for well being
in Portagusta. Hi. I'm Jackie Limb with iHeart Air Peninsula,
your weekly local news wrap for the Air Peninsula and surrounds.
But first earlier this week, the Essay Liberals held a
forum in Portagunster. Ultimately they were in town to listen,
but they did have a bit to say themselves. We
(00:21):
went along and here's a bit of what happened. Sam
Talbot has the story.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Shadow Attorney General Josh Tige said he was acutely aware
of the crime and public safety issues across the region,
saying he was there at the forum to learn more
and take issues up with the government. The main concern
shared youth crime.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
We often hear when it comes to crime and courts
that are we need to get tough on crime. We
need therefore to have ever more serious penalties that are
associated with serious opinion. The trouble with that is that
the courts are going to take their time and they'll
be processed, particularly where is repeat and serious offending going on,
(01:03):
and by the time an offender is sentenced, that might
be years after the event of the.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Crime.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
And what we've seen and this is state wide. That's
happening in Adelaide, just as happening in regional centers around
the state. Far too often a pattern of repeat offending,
particularly by youth offenders who are involved in violent and
antisocial crime. They find their way to the court and
(01:32):
then they're bailed and the offending is happening again while
under a bail agreement. And so I really want to
have your feedback about your experience of how you can
be better served.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
In that game.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
The thing to remember is that there's a court process
to occur. We know that's necessary, but if someone is bailed,
that means they've agreed on conditions of being released and
if they are breaking those conditions and there are no
(02:06):
consequences for that, and we're seeing it happen over and
over and over again.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Locals in the crowd agreed with Minister Tigue's points, also
voicing their own frustrations with young offenders. Member for Flinders
and Shadow Police Minister Santelfas spoke next. He said the
same issues across the Upper Spenser Golfer happening in Port Lincoln,
Sigina and Wayala.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
I too feel sorry for the cops because at the
moment we've got a situation where across the state we've
got a shortage of two hundred police officers down from
the number. We need to have challenges with recruitment, challenges
with retention. We've got cops that are basically that worn
out that they giving up the profession and going and
(02:51):
doing other jobs. But we've also got a situation, especially
for us in regional South Australia, where there's shortages of officers
in Adelaide, it's even harder to get cops to actually
be coming out into regional South Australia. So something which
Josh and I've both been discussing and considering is how
we better support regional police officers in particular.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Mister Telfer also acknowledged the tricky situation police can find
themselves in when dealing with youth crime. Maybe the biggest
point of the night, though, I had to do with
the recently announced twelve million dollars to help curb youth
crime in Port Augusta.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Were watching with interest at the moment the announcement a
month or so ago from the federal government about what
was the number, twelve million dollars over three years, A
big impressive block of cash, but what does that actually
mean for us on the ground. I know from my
communities throwing more cash at problems.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Doesn't always deliver outcomes, and you end up seeing agencies
are not for profits that are well suited to what
the nuances of our individual communities.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Are, money allocated to them and not actually delivering on
the ground. So discussions watching what planning to do with
that twelve million dollars is very interesting because if it's
not grassroots, community driven, I'm afraid wasted money and wasted effort,
(04:21):
a bit like we sort of saw with the government
a couple of years ago. How even noise. So yes,
yes we're listening, here's the money, and let's hope you
go quiet and go away.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
We'll hear more about that funding commitment for the Portagusta
Community Safety and well Being Plan later in the episode.
The final speaker, though, at the forum was Police Superintendent
Paul Isherwood. The superintendent said they're lacking a bit of
manpower at the moment, but that they should still be
able to manage. Instead, he's more concerned about other things
(04:54):
right now. A shoplifting operation is underwave. Paul said only
two instances of shoplifting A last week at Coleson Woolli's,
and he says that'll make things a lot easier for
people trying to go about their business. The bulk of
his time, though, was spent speaking about some frustrations with
youth crime.
Speaker 7 (05:11):
They get builed from the core, straight back home, no conditions,
straight back out, do it again, and there's really no change.
When they go back before the court and bars grind
again with no.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Change, and the pattern keeps changing.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
What we'd like to see is what Josh was saying,
where there's sort of a hierarchy of consequences. The more
you come before the court, the more that you're going
to have extra conditions or eventually you'll be taking adelaide
and keeping customs.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Youth criminals under the age of ten was a major concern,
and a number of potential fixes were discussed by the
people in attendance, things like a curfew, sending youths to
boot camps, or garnishing the income of parents.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Sam Talbot there The forum also follows new data which
shows a huge surge in violent incidents across States schools
last year, the number of reports jumping from ten thousand
in twenty twenty two to over thirteen thousand in twenty
twenty three, with incidents involving weapons, property damage and sexual
behavior documented. SA Primary Principles Association President to Bias O'Connor,
(06:16):
saying such incidents are becoming more common amid higher rates
of trauma and anxiety among students, which sometimes stems from
the home environment where parents are grappling with their own
mental health needs or are under the influence of illicit
substances or alcohol. There were ninety nine arrests on campuses
last year, up from fifty seven the previous year.
Speaker 8 (06:38):
My Hard, My Hard.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
As the Upper Spencer Gulf cements itself as a regional center,
the Commonwealth and State government have invested twelve million dollars
into the Portagaster community over the next three years. The
investment will be used to enact the Portagaster's Safety and
well Being Plan to make the city a thriving, engaged, inclusive,
diverse and vibrant community. Our journo Ali Hall caught up
(07:07):
with Human Services Minister now Cook. She started by asking
what changes she hopes to see.
Speaker 9 (07:13):
What's really incredible is the journey that's happened over the
last two years with such fantastic, deep conversations with the community, listening,
learning and starting to plan for the future of portogust
One where people feel safer, people feel more positive and
more engaged and there's a lot more opportunity. Has really
(07:33):
set the foundation for this work. I think if people
cast their minds back, you know, this was initially just
all about Portagusta community safety, and we know there was
a program years ago that was cut under the previous government,
and we came in just with a small amount of
money to really start kicking that vision back off. And
in that journey we've increased the hours at the youth center,
(07:56):
We've got the outreach team, we've got much more support
for people who need to go back to their communities
more remotely, and support for those people here in Portugusta
while they're here. And also a range of other activities
that have been undertaken throughout the community in conjunction and
collaboration with health services, with the police, with a range
(08:18):
of community members. So I think that is the summary
of where we've been and the vision for the future.
Speaker 10 (08:24):
And it comes at a time of really huge growth
for Portagusta and the whole upper spence of Golf. Do
you think that's why so many big moves are being
made now.
Speaker 9 (08:33):
I absolutely do. I think government and private industry are
seeing already these positive conversations that are helping to spell
out the vision for the future. So there's this really
strong economic plan that's happening around a number of different industries,
but none more important than the hydrogen plan that we're
seeing now become actual reality as it rolls out and
(08:56):
becomes something that the community is working on to build together.
And the investment in all other industries, including some of
the really great investments in the hospital and other community services,
all of this has to be underpinned by social impact.
If we don't talk about and work with the community
to build stronger systems to support young people and families,
(09:20):
then we won't be able to create the jobs and
the vision for the future. We've got the tech school
that's being built in Port Agusta, great investments happening right
across the board, and it's no coincidence that all of
this is coming together. And underneath that we've been working
really positively with the community to create a sense of
(09:40):
social wellbeing. So without that social infrastructure, we won't be
able to continue to move forward. And I think we're
seeing really positive science.
Speaker 10 (09:49):
Minister nat Cook there this week. I also got a
chance to talk with Emily Butler, the executive officer for
Port Augusta Community Safety and Wellbeing. Emily is new to
the also I asked her what it entails.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
So my primary role at the moment is resocializing the
draft Community Safety and Wellbeing Plan that was established in
twenty twenty three and then supporting their formation of a
leadership group in Port Agusta that's going to comprise of
representatives from the average in a community, youth service providers, business, community,
as well as local, state and commonwealth government. That group
(10:24):
will then be responsible for finalizing the draft plan and
then identifying prior to actions rather sorry within the plan
that's linked to the recently announced funding.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
So do you have a lot of FaceTime with community members.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
Absolutely, that is the majority of my role at the moment.
I'm with community, meeting with community and hearing around how
community would let this process happen. So community is absolutely
at the heart of everything we're doing, and community are
really appreciative that they're involved and at the center and
that they are making the decisions around how these processes
(10:58):
will occur.
Speaker 10 (10:59):
So so far, have you had a lot of I guess,
positive experiences and people being really optimistic about the vision
for Portagusta's future.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
People are really excited, They're really appreciative that their voices
are heard. They have some fantastic ideas around how they
would not like only this grew to be formed, but
also Potoguster's due to they are really excited around everything
that's happening. We have had some great meetings, we had
some really roastbust conversations, We've had some really honest conversations,
(11:28):
and it is me really listening to community around what
they want and how they want that to happen. So
it's very community led.
Speaker 10 (11:35):
And is it easy to get in contact with you?
Speaker 8 (11:38):
Yes, so you can get in contact with me. My
contact number is on the DHS website and my email
address is as well, so I can give you. So
my contact number is zero four double seven, zero one
three seven one two. At the moment, I'm meeting with
all of community and that way it's tied to continue
over the next couple of weeks because we want to
ensure that their Potogust community is heard.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Alihole reporting there the community safety and wellbeing plan has
now been released and you can view it at DHS
dot SSAY dot gov dot Au. And another hot topic
of conversation right now, right around the country, which does
fall into the realm of antisocial behavior, is that of
domestic violence. An inquiry into the issue kicked off on
(12:20):
July one, with Natasha S dot d Spoyer appointed as
the Royal Commissioner. The commission is said to focus on prevention,
early intervention, essay's response, recovery and healing and how these
efforts can be better integrated and coordinated. Mss dot Daspoyer
visited Port Piri and Portagusta this week and our reporter
Jordan Curtis caught up with her to find out more.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
I'm really interested in what people feel our solutions to
the current crisis that we have. It does have a
long impact. They do say that trauma has a long tail,
and for me, that includes understanding the specific challenges in
the regents. So Port Pirie Portagusta were first on my
list of regions to visit in order to discuss what's
(13:02):
happening on the ground and what are some of the
ideas for change, and that includes talking with people from
a range of demographics, including as we proceed with young
people and children about what constitutes a safe society for them.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
We've just spoken with the police. What other organizations are
you going to be having these conversations with while in
Pulperi and Portagusta.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Arranged so obviously SAPOLE Uniting Country Essay, dealing with individuals
of course, people from the sector, including KWY Aboriginal Corporation,
the Family Violence Legal Service, Aboriginal Corporation, just a range
of organizations who are involved in this space. But also,
as I say, talking to people with lived experience and
doing that in a way that is healthy, ethical and
(13:46):
non traumatic. I'm really wedded to ensuring that people can
have a say, but I don't want people to find
this a traumatizing process. We're about making positive change, dealing
with the challenges that exist, and hopefully a Royal commission
that helps to reduce and one day prevent this fine.
Speaker 8 (14:01):
What's the timeframe like on this When can we expect
I guess a final.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Commission July one next year is when the Premier would
like to receive the report. I'm doing my best to
stick to that schedule. Obviously, there's a lot of evidence
and research out there with which we're already familiar, but
this is an opportunity to comb through some of that
work that's been done and try and understand where are
their gaps, where are their challenges, and most importantly, where
are the solutions.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
And that's your weekly news wrap across the Air Peninsula
and surrounds. Don't forget. You can hear iHeart Air Peninsula
