SPEECH – Gallipoli scholarship is a testament to Turkish-Australian relationship after war
CANBERRA – 24 May, 2021
Deputy Speaker,
How we honour the service and sacrifice of those who have fought to defend our country is an important reflection of who we are and what we value.
A big part of this is the recognition we provide through memorials and commemoration.
But acts of recognition that seek to provide opportunities to […]

SPEECH – Supporting Indigenous tourism is paramount to economic recovery
CANBERRA – 24 MAY, 2021

Engagement with our Indigenous cultures is one of the main reasons visitors come to the Northern Territory.
Genuine experiences and cross-cultural communication is the best way to […]

SPEECH – Territorians deserve the same rights as those living in the states to legislate on euthanasia
CANBERRA – 24 May, 2021
We in the Territories have been fighting to restore our rights for a long time, Deputy Speaker.
For a quarter of a century, we’ve been barred from fully enjoying the same democratic rights as Australians living in the states.
It’s ridiculous that we’re still being forced to explain why people living in the […]

CANBERRA – 13 May, 2021
A 99-year lease over the Port of Darwin was awarded to Landbridge Industry. It has been a source of contention and controversy ever since it came into effect in 2015.

SPEECH – Infrastructure promises are pie-in-the-sky from a Government that doesn’t deliver
CANBERRA – 13 May, 2021
Deputy Speaker,
Tuesday night’s budget was not a budget for the Northern Territory.
The Territory is once again being left behind by this Government.
Only one per cent of the infrastructure funds for the Northern Territory announced in Tuesday’s budget will be spent in the next four years.
Only one per cent!
That amounts to just […]

SPEECH – Eight long years and the Federal Coalition Government still has no vision for regional Australia
CANBERRA – 12 May, 2021
Thank you, Deputy Speaker.
One thing I find amazing in a lot of these speeches on regional Australia is that it’s almost like those opposite, the Government, haven’t been the Government for eight long years.
Because you would have thought with eight long years to properly and strategically plan things like decentralisation and […]

MEDIA – Transcript – Mix 104.9 FM – The Government must show us the money
CANBERRA – 12 May, 2021
KATIE WOOLF, HOST: Well, as we know, the federal budget was handed down overnight and I guess this is a lot to take in. There always is. When you talk about these budgets and trying to work out what’s in it for us, what’s in it for the Northern Territory. We […]

JOLENE LAVERTY, HOST: A lot of very big numbers were thrown around last night as the federal Treasurer delivered the budget. And it forecasts the decade of deficits and debt that’s set to peak around one trillion dollars in 2025, with lots of winners, the beneficiaries of some of those big […]

MEDIA – Transcript – ABC Radio Darwin – Drive – The Federal Govt has failed on quarantine, and must stand up Bladin Point immediately
DARWIN – 6 May, 2021
LIZ TREVASKIS, HOST: You would have heard the NT Farmers Association and Hospitality NT suggesting that Bladin Village, which used to be a detention centre that’s about 40 kilometres from Darwin, could be used to help bring in foreign workers for industries including agriculture, hospitality and construction. Those two industry heads […]
