A safer community for all Territorians

We all want to feel safe.

Building more prisons has not worked.

Prevention and community action are the only ways to stop crime and protect our community.

Our plan

  • Addressing the root causes

    I will work hard to expand programs and services to support parents and break the cycle of intergenerational trauma. I will also lobby to increase the number of counsellors and special support teachers who assist children facing early difficulties.

  • Diversion programs

    I will lobby the government to expand programs preventing and diverting children from trouble. I will focus on developing programs led by Aboriginal Elders, including cultural programs, victim conferences and community service.

  • Bail monitoring

    I will commit to improving the bail monitoring system to ensure offenders obey their conditions.

  • Community involvement

    I will prioritise our community in policy-making and support local leaders and Aboriginal Elders to improve community safety.
