About Me

I love the Top End, and I’m proud to call it home. I live in Darwin with my wife Kate and our kids Sally and Frank. Like many Territorians, I moved here from down south, fell in love with the place, and never looked back.

I come from a military family: My Grandfather served in the First World War, and my Pop in the Second World War, my father served in Vietnam, and two of my brothers and I have all served in the Australian Defence Force. Our Defence and veterans community, especially in Darwin and Palmerston, means a lot to me.

As your local Member in Federal Parliament, I’ve been fighting for Darwin and Palmerston and the Territory to build a better future for all Territorians and future generations.

In our first term of Government, we’ve full funded every public school across the Territory, strengthening student outcomes, and creating opportunity. We’ve invested billions to protect and strengthen Medicare, and have worked to support business, and Territorians with the cost of living.

That’s why the Prime Minister has put his trust in me to continue building for the North, and as I always have been, will continue my commitment to putting Darwin and Palmerston first.
