2007 FEDERAL ELECTION
ABC Radio Darwin Federal Election Candidates Forum
Brown's Mart Tuesday 20 November 2007

The Committee put the following question to the candidates:

In May 2007, the Report of the Inquiry into the Federal Implications of Statehood for the Northern Territory*, recommended that the Australian Government update and refine its position on Northern Territory statehood, and re-commence work on unresolved federal issues.

How would you work on behalf of Territorians to ensure the Australian Government does this?
