Get the Statehood Facts
at the Alice Springs Show
The Northern Territory
Statehood Steering Committee will be at the Alice Springs Show this
week circulating Fact Sheets and surveying Centralians about their
views on Statehood.
“It will be a great opportunity for some of our Committee
members to get out, speak to people and get their views on Statehood”
Committee Co-Chair Sue Bradley said today.
“The first ten of our newly developed Fact Sheets on Statehood
issues, will be available for the first time.
“We are also conducting surveys and offering Statehood Committee
representatives to follow up with visits or further information
if people have an ongoing interest.
‘It is our first time at the Alice Springs show and we are
very excited to talk to Centralians in a fun and informal atmosphere.”
Committee members have indicated they are very interested in finding
out the sorts of things Centralians think are most important when
it comes to Statehood.
“People need to come and tell the Committee representatives
what they think and what they want. already preliminary surveys
are showing us Territorians need to know a lot more before they
are comfortable with any final moves toward Statehood, it is essential
for everyone to have their say” she said.
The Northern Territory Statehood Steering Committee is made up of
14 community members and three members of the Legislative Assembly.
Its role is to consult widely and develop strategies to provide
education on Statehood issues for all Territorians.
The Committee met for the first time in Alice Springs in April.
Committee representatives will be at Stand G41 at the Show.
