Media Statement - 8 March 2001


 

Opposition Leader Clare Martin today launched Labor candidate Marion Scrymgour who will contest the seat of Arafura currently held by Labor sitting member Maurice Rioli.

Clare Martin said "Marion Scrymgour is an outstanding addition to our team. Marion has distinguished herself as real performer over the years in Territory Health and more recently as Director of the Katherine West Health Board."

"With her cultural background in the Tiwi islands, Marion has a profound understanding of her electorate of Arafura and the issues and hurdles facing the people there, as well as their aspirations."

"If elected, Marion will work tirelessly to improve the effectiveness of health and education and other essential service delivery throughout the Arafura electorate."

"Marion, who is married to a Darwin based lawyer, has for many years been involved in negotiation and work with the NT Government and has much experience in that area."

"We are very excited about the skills, enthusiasm and background which Marion brings to the task of campaigning for Arafura and we know that if given the opportunity, Marion will make a superb Parliamentary representative for the people of Arafura."
