00:02Catherine cleaning up under ominous grey skies.
00:06As the NT government pledges $100 million for the rebuild.
00:11There's a number of ways in which we can do things to build back better.
00:14The focus, public infrastructure like roads and bridges.
00:18The Chief Minister also floating an extension to Catherine's levy system.
00:22Can we make that levy higher, stronger and work even better into the future?
00:27These are all the types of infrastructure projects that are on the table.
00:31The senior bureaucrat appointed to run the fund today touring Catherine.
00:36We need a plan and we want to make sure we spend the money wisely.
00:39I don't think enough people are collectively on guard about how to rebuild sensibly.

01:31A welcome development for volunteers like Ben Hockey, whose relentless sandbagging has been widely praised.

01:43Adrenaline is still pumping but I think for some people it's definitely a relief
01:49and we can go to sleep with peace knowing that, like you said, Calvary is here, helps here.
01:55A moment of light in tough times for Catherine.
01:58Thank you dear.
01:58So what I know is that the government definition of Sargent makes people up the road
