Mr CONLAN - 2008-02-12
Madam Speaker, I just say to the Minister for Health that a baby has been born in Tennant Creek Hospital in the last six weeks. I know it is very rare to be born in Tennant Creek these days. On my way up for the sittings, I called in to the hospital and a brand new baby born in Tennant Creek. I thought that was a pretty big achievement. I just wanted to share that with the House.
Chief Minister, now that there is no Cabinet minister south of Berrimah, can you assure this House and the people of Central Australia that they will be represented by someone from Central Australia when you appoint the next Minister for Central Australia?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Greatorex for his question. This is a government that has had, and will continue to have, a very strong focus on Central Australia; in the infrastructure that we are building in Central Australia, the commitment to Desert Knowledge in Central Australia, the support for solar cities in Central Australia, the improvements in health and education services in Central Australia, and the improvement in roads in Central Australia. We will continue to have a focus on improving the economic opportunities and the lifestyles of people in Central Australia. That is the commitment that I make as Chief Minister of the Northern Territory.
