Walking Together Towards Statehood Campaign
On Monday, 30th of June, the Statehood Steering Committee launched its new Walking Together Towards Statehood awareness campaign at Parliament House.
The Campaign aims to raise awareness not just on the debate surrounding the subject of Statehood but, to promote the movement FOR Statehood- the long overdue advancement of the Northern Territory becoming the 7th State in the Australian Federation.
As the Campaign title symbolically suggests, Statehood, will happen when all of us unite and begin ‘Walking Together Towards’ constitutional equality: ‘Statehood’.
Phase one of the Walking Together Towards Statehood campaign takes place in July 2008 and consists of grass roots events in Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Katherine. Phase 2 later this year this will see the Committee travels to Canberra to lobby Federal politicians, followed by 2009’s Constitutional workshops marking phase three. The Constitutional Convention, scheduled for 2010 will complete the Campaign.
