Well as you can see behind me, Territorians take their one day of the year where they
00:06
can set off fireworks pretty seriously.
00:09
And for a little while it didn't look like that would happen this year.
00:12
There was a bit of a diplomatic stout between NT and New South Wales authorities over some
00:17
fireworks that were seized on their way into the country bound for the Northern Territory.
00:22
But that's been all resolved now so I'm sure a lot of Territorians will be thankful and
00:27
we've seen crowds streaming in throughout the fireworks retailers all day ready to buy
00:32
their crackers in time for this evening.
00:35
Of course there will be people with pets who might not be looking forward to Territory Day
00:40
celebrations.
00:41
It does tend to be a bit chaotic and definitely one of the busiest days of the year for emergency
00:46
doctors, for bushfires NT, for paramedics out there.
00:51
So it's really important that Territorians are very safe with their use of fireworks so
00:56
in particular that they don't aim them at people or property and make sure that they're
01:00
enjoying the night responsibly, picking up any rubbish after themselves and making sure
01:06
that they're not causing any greater risk by setting the fireworks off throughout the
01:11
night.
01:12
You do have to hand in your fireworks as well after Territory Day so make sure you use them
01:18
up tonight or you send them back to the authorities shortly afterwards to make sure that you're not
01:23
breaking any laws which heavily regulate the use of fireworks in the NT but of course the
01:29
most important message is to enjoy the night responsibly.
01:32
