Lauren MellorGUEST
Well, just in Alice Springs here, we had a heat summit convened by the Alice Springs Town Council just recently that will be replicated across the top end to essentially self-organise through organisations involved in emergency services, communities that are very exposed to the impacts of extreme heat.
Lauren MellorGUEST
We're seeing organisations starting to rally around embedding their own solutions because we're not seeing that leadership from organisations like the Northern Territory Government and others who do have the resources and the capability to start planning ahead of time to protect vulnerable communities.
Lauren MellorGUEST
So, I think that we will start to see some more community-led solutions being implemented, but of course that takes a hell of a lot of resourcing, and to do this at the scale that is necessary in the timeframes, we're really concerned that that won't be possible without the type of resourcing that governments can bring to that.
Lauren MellorGUEST
In Alice Springs, we spoke about across Central Australia over the next decade, we're looking at 404 days above 40 degrees.
Alexandra HumphreysCORRESPONDENT
He wants to know about its professional standards in the wake of this, and he says the use of fictitious information is unacceptable.
Alexandra HumphreysCORRESPONDENT
Tasmania's Prisoners Legal Service, which represents inmates, is calling for Parole Board members to resign over the incident, and the Labor opposition and Tasmanian Greens are calling on the state government to commission a review.
Alexandra HumphreysCORRESPONDENT
They say that's now crucial to determine whether this is, in fact, an isolated case.
Alexandra HumphreysCORRESPONDENT
For its part, the Parole Board says it doesn't comment on individual matters and that it's unable to respond to broader questions about its use of AI.
Jennifer ParkerGUEST
So I think that is an element of it.
Jennifer ParkerGUEST
I also think that when we talk about the current conflict, we often think that the Houthis just do Iran's bidding.
Jennifer ParkerGUEST
But actually, the Houthis very much have their own domestic priorities, and I think clearly they have seen a moment where they can seize the initiative against the Yemeni government forces.
Jennifer ParkerGUEST
I think there is a third element that is not quite clear, but there was a Houthi delegation that went to the Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral in about July.
speaker_2NARRATOR
the Northern Territory Justice Policy Partnership suspended partnership in calls for genuine collaboration.
speaker_2NARRATOR
A joint letter of independent justice experts and representatives of ACCOs outlines the need for the Northern Territory Government to renew its commitment to shared decision-making, accountability and respect for Aboriginal voices.
speaker_2NARRATOR
We have a conversation with Matthew Conop, Naja Deputy CEO and Co-Chair of the NTJPP, about how we got here, what a temporary suspension of dialogue looks like and pathways for moving forward.
speaker_2NARRATOR
Have a listen to this conversation with Matthew Conop.
Matthew ConopGUEST
And yeah, they come together with part of the Northern Territory Justice Policy Partnership, which also makes up of government.
Matthew ConopGUEST
our members as well and the aim of the partnership is is to have shared decision making and and a genuine partnership so we can come together to ensure that we're progressing closing the gap targets outcomes 10 and 11 in particular and which is to reduce the incarceration rate of of adult prisoners by 2030 and young people by 2030 as well it's 15 for young people it's 30 for for adults
Nairi PakaiHOST
At the start of this month, the NTJPP had notified the Northern Territory Government a decision to suspend participation in this agreement.
Nairi PakaiHOST
What's happened there?
Matthew ConopGUEST
It's 15% for young people, it's 30% for adults.
Nairi PakaiHOST
At the start of this month, the NTJPP had notified the Northern Territory Government a decision to suspend participation in this agreement.
Nairi PakaiHOST
What's happened there?
Matthew ConopGUEST
What's happened there is you've got priority reform one, which is shared decision making.
Paul SinderberryGUEST
And they managed to get going again.
Paul SinderberryGUEST
They got money from Northern Territory Government, moved up to the Territory.
Paul SinderberryGUEST
So they did three years up in the Territory.
Paul SinderberryGUEST
And then after that, then came back to New South Wales.
Steve EdgingtonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So, uh, we'll sit down with Calvary and, uh, even though the transition to Calvary w- should be done by the 30th of November, we'll need to, uh, work on a timeframe to restore maternity services, uh, after that process is complete.
Kathleen GazzolaHOST
So obviously the Northern Territory Government and Health Minister celebrating that announcement of Calvary-
SarahHOST
Mm
Kathleen GazzolaHOST
...
6 MINS LATER
Dana DuncanGUEST
But it's, it's not just something that we're facing in the NT or thinking about in the NT, and it does need to continue as a national conversation.
Kathleen GazzolaHOST
Do you think it could be something that the territory government makes part of the, the license, the operation license, that they have to deliver on those kinds of things?
Dana DuncanGUEST
I think it would be unlikely, but that would definitely be a question for the Northern Territory government.
Kathleen GazzolaHOST
Mm.
Jacinta Nampijinpa PriceGUEST
Um, but evidently it fell on deaf ears, the ask to take these issues seriously when it comes to indigenous children in this country.
Jacinta Nampijinpa PriceGUEST
Um, you know, but, you know, I'm really pleased that the Northern Territory Government actually, uh, responded to this swiftly and introduced amendments to child protection in the Northern Territory to ensure that, um, you know, the, the human rights of these children are upheld over and above everything else, including, uh, the fact that these, these bureaucracies as well as those in leadership like to prioritize a child's culture over their actual safety.
Jacinta Nampijinpa PriceGUEST
And, and I've said it for years and the, the child protection system is utterly, um... [sighs] It's morally bankrupt, for starters, and it's broken.
Jacinta Nampijinpa PriceGUEST
And in Western Australia in particular, if you look at the principles around child protection, uh, for children, again, it's ideologically driven.
Daniel JamesHOST
[gentle music] I'm Daniel James, and you're listening to 7.AM. One by one, the Aboriginal leaders, organizations, and watchdogs the Northern Territory government is supposed to work with are walking away.
Daniel JamesHOST
The Children's Commissioner has resigned, an indigenous MP left Parliament after more than a decade, and now almost the entire Aboriginal side of the Territory's Justice Policy Partnership has suspended its involvement.
Daniel JamesHOST
They're all making a remarkably similar complaint, that the government isn't listening, and the structures that are supposedly designed to give Aboriginal people a say have become meaningless.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So here we are-
Dechlan BrennanGUEST
We've seen Yininngu Guula, who's been a independent MP from Maluka, a Yolngu man, MP for ten years.
Dechlan BrennanGUEST
He walked away at the, uh, in the middle of August, basically citing an inability to work alongside the Northern Territory Government, um, but he used some really pointed language, including some of their laws as a slow genocide of Aboriginal people.
speaker_3NARRATOR
Arnhem Land Yolngu leader Yininngu Guula has resigned, blaming successive anti-governments for refusing to listen to indigenous concerns, accusing the CLP government of passing too many laws that are dehumanizing, oppressing, and destroying our communities, contributing to a slow genocide.
speaker_3NARRATOR
He's particularly angry about child protection changes deprioritizing Aboriginal family placements.
Katie WoolfHOST
While projects this complex can't come to life overnight, we're working closely and cooperatively with all involved to move as quickly as possible.
Katie WoolfHOST
The Albanese government's working closely with Auscare and the Northern Territory government to progress this project as a matter of priority.
Katie WoolfHOST
The work currently being done is essential to ensure that we help to establish a viable, high-quality development that can meet Darwin's long-term aged care needs.
Katie WoolfHOST
Now, he goes on to say this is a large and complex development in a challenging construction environment and the project continues to progress through the usual channels as we work through the application and planning phase.
Katie WoolfHOST
The proposed use of the Northern Territory Government owned land near Palmerston Regional Hospital also requires careful coordination across land, design, infrastructure, approvals, costings and delivery arrangements.
Katie WoolfHOST
Now, I understand that it takes time and it takes a lot of work to get a project off the ground, but this doesn't even take into consideration the amount of time that it's going to take to construct.
Katie WoolfHOST
I mean, Selina, we've been talking about this since, I believe, since Filesy was the Health Minister.
Katie WoolfHOST
It started flowing last week.
Katie WoolfHOST
The Northern Territory Government's continuing to push ahead as well to establish the Territory as a data centre hub.
Katie WoolfHOST
What's been your take on the Energy Minister's insistence of renewable power to power those centres?
Matt CanavanGUEST
It's insane.
