Labor has held Lingiari for all of the 21st century.
Facing a tough campaign to retain her seat, Scrymgour has priorities for a re-elected Labor government.
After the Voice
While Lingiari voted No in the referendum, the margin was smaller than in many other parts of the country. Data released in the wake of the Voice’s defeat revealed that majority Indigenous communities overwhelmingly voted Yes.
“As a re-elected member in Lingiari, I’ll do everything that I can … to elevate those voices in government to make sure that we can take forward the other parts of voice, which is treaty and truth.”
Audit of government money
“There are some that are doing a great job, but there’s a lot that need to be looked at,” she said.
‘I don’t agree with locking children up’
“Rather than the punitive approach, we need to try and work with families so we get a better outcome for young people, rather than just locking them up.”
Living Black airs Mondays at 8.30pm on NITV and is available on SBS On Demand.
