Welcome to my website
My electorate of ARNHEM covers an area of 99,269 square kilometres and has a population of approximately 8,000 people (see a map of the electorate under 'COMMUNITIES' option). It has 11 large communities, a mining township and more than 60 homeland communities, many being isolated during the wet season.
Some of the Traditional languages proudly spoken in ARNHEM are Yolngu Matha, Anindilyakwa, Nunggubuyu-Wubuy, Rembarrnga/Ritharrngu and Alawa/Mara. Kriol is also widely used.
I have specifically designed this website to provide information and receive comments from constituents within the electorate. I hope it assists with overcoming the tyranny of distance and is interesting, informative and a useful way for people to keep in touch with me.
Keep informed about the latest Government initiatives by down-loading Press Releases issued by Ministers of the Henderson Labor Government.
