Transcript

00:00It's been a great campaign. I am a hard worker. I got in to do their job as the local member because

00:08I care about Catherine. But at the end of the day, you know, I've been here for 34 years,

00:18my kids are born here, my husband's born here. We are invested in Catherine and Catherine is

00:23not the place that I came to 34 years ago. You know, you've only got to go into any number of

00:28businesses in the main street. Every single one of them has been broken into. Every single one,

00:33not, you can't even miss out one. Every single one has been broken into. I would have spoken

00:39to every single one of those people over the last four years and it is not okay and it's not

00:44something that we should think is normal. So I am someone who will fight for my community

00:52and I'm extremely grateful for everything that all the volunteers, my family,

00:59everyone that's helped out in this campaign so far. To Steve at the back there who I've called on

01:06numerous times in the last two weeks to come in. Oh Steve, can you just come in and fill in here.

01:12To everyone that's worked on the campaign, I really appreciate it. To Jessica who organised

01:16the food today. To Hannah and Christine that organised just getting set up here to make sure

01:24that I'm an attention and details person and I'm a bit of a micromanager. So thank you very much

01:30for doing that. It's hard when you're someone who is used to organising everything and being in

01:36charge of everything to let other people do it. So well done, you've done a great job. Thanks to

01:43Julie and Reg for coming down from Darwin. I truly appreciate that and let's have a good night

01:48and thank God the territory is on a good trajectory now. And a big shout out, Polly,

01:58you know what you've done for me so thanks very much for that as well. Thanks everyone.
