We’ve heard it all before. Territorians could be forgiven for feeling a sense of déjà vu over the past few weeks as the Labor government rolled out its Budget announcements. We’ve heard it all before. Promises of millions and millions of dollars that are never delivered. We had another announcement on the Darwin Ship Lift, the 40th media release on …
Continue readingThe Territory economy right now is a bucket full of holes, when it should be overflowing with opportunity; instead it’s leaking. Labor is standing at the bucket staring blankly, with a child’s watering can – unwilling to do the work required to plug the holes and fill the bucket, they keep pouring your money in the top, only to watch …

It’s been another incredibly tough year and you have, again, gone above and beyond to uphold your oath to serve and protect. As always, we thank you for keeping Territorians safe.
