The Country Liberal Party Has Demonstrated On

V 1 5 The Country Liberal Party has demonstrated on sheer performance alone that we are the best party to govern the Territory, as Territorians have emphatically endorsed in every election since self-government and before. But the task of the CLP Territory Government will be made much easier if it can work with a like-minded government in Canberra. In Canberra, it is time for change. It is imperative for this country. It is imperative for the Territory. To maximise the benefits for the Territory, we must ensure that for the first time in many years we have a Coalition Government in Canberra, a CLP Government in the Territory and a CLP representative in the House of Representatives -- all working together. It will bring an end to HARD LABOR in the Northern Territory. When Territorians cast their votes on March 2, they will be making two critical decisions. The first is a decision about which Federal Party is more worthy to govern Australia for the next three years. The answer is simple and clear. It must be a Coalition Government led by John Howard. The second decision is just as important, if not more important because it will impact significantly on the Territory’s future direction. That decision concerns the Northern Territory’s House of Representatives seat. The Northern Territory seat is unique in that it represents the whole of the Northern Territory. Our House of Representatives Member can have a unique influence, but the influence of the current Member of the House of Representatives, Warren Snowdon, is unique in the sense that he has represented Canberra in the Northern Territory rather than the Northern Territory in Canberra. It is unique in that his priority has always been to work against the Northern Territory Government rather than with it, notwithstanding the merits of any arguments put forward by this Government. The solution is to elect a Territory Member of the House of Representatives, Nick Dondas, who we know will always represent the Territory’s interests - a candidate who will work with the Northern Territory Government. Mr Speaker, because there is a strong chance of a Coalition victory in the forthcoming election, we face the real prospect of having a Federal Government and a Territory Federal Representative as well as the Territory Government all working together to achieve Northern Territory’s enormous potential. It is a great opportunity Territory voters can’t afford to miss..

Hon Kezia Purick MLA, Speaker
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY The Calm after the Storm – Are Storm Clouds Brewing Again? The Hon Kezia Purick MLA, Speaker As the Northern Territory reaches its midterm mark, two years after the 2016 election and two years before the 2020 General Election, it is timely to pause and assess how orderly the 13 th Assembly is and consider comparisons with the 12 th and previous Assemblies to consider which was the most tumultuous in the short and colourful history of the Northern Territory legislature. The 12 th Assembly ran from 2012 to 2016 and had what would kindly be referred to as some big personalities . At least six Ministers in the Cabinet (unofficially) actively wanted the role of Chief Minister for themselves with three Ministers serving or attempting to serve in the top job. I won’t go into detail here about the bizarre midnight coup of 3 February 2015, just enter that into your favourite search engine for more details. A revolving door of Cabinet reshuffles (18 in four years) and the sheer number of Deputy Chief Ministers reflected the lack of consistent leadership in Government. This had a significant impact upon the Legislative Assembly. A Government with initially 16 Members in August 2016 was reduced to a perilous minority of 11 by the time of the 2016 election. With a new Assembly came renewal. We have not even had a Cabinet reshuffle since the first Ministry was announced after the 2016 election. The Country Liberals were soundly defeated in 2016 with only two Members being returned to a shrunken Opposition bench and 18 Labor Government Members now occupying the Treasury benches in the 25 Member parliament.

Participation and Power: Aboriginal Representation And
PARTICIPATION AND POWER Aboriginal Representation and Members of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly 1974 - 2014 Michael Tatham 1 Background and Introduction The starting point for this paper was inspired by an opinion piece in the Australian Financial Review where the political editor Laura Tingle wrote in 2013 as follows: Take Prime Minister Julia Gillard's move to get Nova Peris onto Labor's Northern Territory Senate ticket. What a shock it was to see the local ALP establishment which has singularly and disgracefully failed to promote any Indigenous candidates expressing outrage at the PM's move. Quelle surprise! 2 How does this claim sit against the reality that on 34 occasions in the Northern Territory over 12 Assemblies since 1974, a person of Aboriginal heritage has been elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly? In each of the twelve Assemblies there has been at least one Aboriginal Member and a number of candidates at each election. On that basis, the comment deserves some analysis as to why it is so framed and whether it is fair in the overall context of representation in the jurisdiction. This paper does not analyse whether Aboriginal Members of Parliaments achieve results for Aboriginal peoples. For analysis on that matter see Sarah Maddison’s 2010 article 3. The dismissive comment arguably undervalues and diminishes the contributions made by so many Aboriginal people as candidates, potential Members and Members in the Northern Territory. The theme of the 2014 Australasian Study of Parliament Group conference - ‘representation’, lends itself well to developing this discussion looking factually (as far as possible) rather than critically, at what ‘Aboriginal representation’ is and what people think it should mean, in the context of the Northern Territory of Australia.
