JULIE BISHOP Well I’m delighted to be here in Darwin, in the Territory, campaigning with my friend and colleague Natasha Griggs, the Member for Solomon.
Kevin Rudd is not honouring the 14th of September as an election date but we must assume there will be an election held at some stage and we do want him to nominate an election date so that there can be some certainty around this campaign.
The people that I’ve been speaking to in the Territory and in Darwin today and the people I’ve been speaking to around the country are looking for certainty and stability, competence and experience in government. That’s what a Coalition Government will provide.
We’re talking to the people in the Territory about the Coalition’s vision - 2030 Vision for Developing Northern Australia - and we’re getting some feedback on the economic opportunities for Territorians.
Adam Giles the Chief Minister says that the Territory is 'open for business' and the Coalition wants to support Territorians in realising their potential.
