Delia Lawrie LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION 4 October 2012 Be honest about alcohol Opposition Leader Delia Lawrie says Robyn Lambley must be honest at her meeting with alcohol representatives in Alice Springs in light of the Coroners recommendation to cut excessive take away alcohol supply in Alice Springs. “The Coroner, police, doctors, surgeons, ambulance officers, health experts, domestic violence counsellors, mental health workers and child protection workers all want less alcohol available in Alice Springs, but the CLP want more,” Ms Lawrie said. “When asked on radio the other day whether the Country Liberals support reducing the amount of alcohol people can access, Dave Tollner said no. “The CLP have done nothing to address crime in Alice Springs except to pour more grog on to the problem. “The Banned Drinker Register was installed in three Alice Springs pubs known as the „animal bars‟, yet the CLP have scrapped this, with problem drinkers back on the grog from 10am again. “Mrs Lambley has also committed to opening up bottle shops for an extra four hours a day, starting at 10am - famously announcing this approach was to sell alcohol earlier so that drunks “fall down before sundown”. “Will she outline this policy in the meeting on Friday? On what date will the earlier opening hours start? “Is wanting people to “fall down before sundown” the kind of policy Terry Mills has talking about when he committed to ending Aboriginal disadvantage? “Only last week Mrs Lambley put out a press release titled „Committed to tackling crime in Alice Springs‟. The only people in the world who believe that making alcohol more available will cut crime are the CLP. “Dave Tollner has alcohol policy, Peter Chandler has alcohol licensing, John Elferink has habitual drunks policy, Terry Mills has policing and Robyn Lambley has Alice Springs alcohol policy. That‟s five Ministers and not a single policy to cut alcohol abuse.” Media Contact: Katie Schneider 0439 543 162 .

    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

    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.
