Welcome to the Greatorex Website. It has been created to keep you informed about what your local member of Parliament is doing, what is happening in our backyard of Greatorex, and to provide you with a forum to discuss issues affecting you.

Being your Member of Parliament is an important job and I am there for all residents of Greatorex, Central Australia and the Northern Territory.

Thanks for taking the time to visit.


ALICE MP's STARING ROLE AS A COWBOY.

Or at least that's how the NT News put it on Friday 13 June when they ran a story about a music video clip I was in back in 2006. The clip was filmed at Bojangles Saloon in Alice Springs by local film and television producer Chris Tangey.
 
The song is titled " It's only make believe" and is performed by up and coming Australian country music singer Ronnie Rae Rivers. It went to number one on the Australian Country Music charts and has just caught the attention of the Great American Country Channel in the US.

Keep an ear out for Ronnie Rae and check out the video at this youtube link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEIFP9RgjBs&feature=related

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Well done to conservationist Ken Johnson and childrens health worker Carmel Hattch who were recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours list. Both were awarded the Order of Australia medal. A fantastic achievement by two Central Australians.


Shade at CDU Oval

Anyone who has played sport on CDU oval will be well aware that there is a serious lack of Shade. I have written to the Sports Minister and the Education Minister asking them to address this situation. The Oval is used heavily by sporting and community groups, The Masters Games, students of CDU and Centralian Senior Secondary College and is baked in 40 plus degree heat for most of the year. I have a petition running and would encourage anyone who would like to see shade at the oval to call into my office and sign it. Watch this space for updates.


PATS Petition.

On April 28 I tabled a petition in Parliament with over 400 signatures asking the Northern Territory Government to allow cancer sufferers in Central Australia to be eligible for the Patient Assistance Travel Scheme ( PATS )  while using Adelaide hospital as a treatment option despit the completion of radiation oncology unit in Darwin. The Health Minister so far has denied this request however, I believe this is an important issue for Central Australians' and I will continue to do all I can to achieve a successful outcome.

Update on our move

Elara and I intend to move into the electorate as soon as possible. We are still currently renovating our house in Nicker Cresent and if by chance an election is called this year, I doubt we will have relocated by the time the campaign begins. We are very excited about buying a property in Greatorex and setting up our home as soon as possible. We will keep you updated with our progress so watch this space.
