Our leaders set the tone for our democracy. When politics turns toxic, division grows. We need leaders who practice polite politics and engage in productive debate because we all deserve better.

We are excited to announce that Phil Scott is the community independent Solomon! I’m running because our community deserves independent, strong, and accountable leadership that puts people first—not party politics.

Up till now both major political parties have “combined” to convince the electorate that a vote for a minor party, or even worse an independent, was a wasted vote. The two-party “duopoly” has been protecting each other’s interest against the interests of the Australian electorate.

The Territory Coordinator legislation will give an unelected official special powers to circumvent regulations.

Territorians have until this Friday January 17, to share their feedback on the proposed Territory Coordinator legislation.

See you tomorrow at Nightcliff Markets. In 2025, the antidote to feeling powerless is to get involved. So let’s create a strong, informed community together.

We make the community we want when we volunteer and participate in democracy.

Do you feel worried about the Territory Coordinator proposal? This is an unelected position to fast track projects for multinational corporations . Multinational corporations don’t act in the interests of everyday Territorians.
