-
Statehood should not cost Territorians a cent extra.
-
Territorians would benefit from the fairness of Statehood without any additional burden upon them.
-
The everyday cost of living in the Northern Territory is influenced by a variety of factors.
-
These factors include international economic movements, the health and stability of the Australian economy, policies of both the Federal and Territory Governments and special circumstances we experience in the Territory such as distance and remoteness.
-
Your everyday cost of living will still be something that you consider when you vote in local, state and federal elections; the only difference is that it will be a State election not a Territory election where these issues can be decided by you.
-
A strong state government means that the government in power in the Northern Territory will be even more accountable to its electors.
-
Statehood affects your everyday life because it would make you more equal as an Australian citizen, it does not affect the everyday cost of living.
