Vanquishing Mills from parliament would rid Labor of a persistent headache and would kill off his fledgling Territory Alliance political party before it is even born.

Sen-Constable Turner looks a great choice for the people of Palmerston.

Fresh from receiving a prestigious bravery award for saving a man’s life, he is every inch electable and will come with an unrivalled understanding of some of the problems we face in the Territory.

He’s a dedicated and experienced police officer who brings much-needed real world experience to the Labor ranks which are populated mostly by career politicians and longtime staffers and unionists.

Sen-Constable Turner is a refreshing change from the usual line-up.

The Territory needs leaders who know how things work outside the narrow realm of politics.

Hopefully, Sen-Constable Turner’s candidacy will encourage more high quality people to stand up and give it a go.

To get the best government, we need the best candidates.

Ultimately, it’s Territorians who will win.
