Mr BURKE - 2005-02-17
With regard to your last answer about attracting people to come to the Northern Territory and so many are making inquiries, can you tell me what special incentives you are offering those people when they ring up?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, we are offering jobs in terms availability of work. Talk to any business. What do they want? They want people across a whole range of skills. We have jobs and opportunities here. We have a great home ownership program. We have a great lifestyle and we have terrific services. What else do you need? If the Opposition Leader cannot understand that it is a great place to be, to live and to invest, then, Opposition Leader, maybe you need a little more than 12 years in the Territory to really understand why we love this Territory and its lifestyle and opportunities.
Members interjecting.
Madam SPEAKER: Members of the opposition, you are being very restless today.
