Sport- Martial Arts, all footy (rugby, AFL, soccer), cycling, little bit of jogging and some gym. Relaxing at home with the family. Not a lot of gardening, listening to music and reading. I live in the centre but love the beach.

Welcome to my official MySpace! I am the member for Lingiari, and I was previously the member for Northern Territory between 1987 and 1996.
I was born in Canberra, where I went to St Benedict’s Primary School and St Edmund’s College. I then went to ANU to get my Bachelor of Arts degree, later getting my Diploma of Education from Murdoch University. Before entering politics, I worked as a researcher at the ANU, a school teacher and a policy officer at the Central Land Council.
It was in 1976 that I first moved to the NT to work as a teacher. I still live there, in Alice Springs, with my partner Elizabeth and my four kids, Frances, Tom, Tessa and Jack.
I’m actually the first MP to represent the electorate of Lingiari. The electorate was formed for the 2001 federal election as a result of the old electorate, Northern Territory, splitting in two (Solomon, which covers the Darwin area, is the other new electorate).
Lingiari is the second-largest federal electorate in Australia. It covers 1,347,849 sq km of the Northern Territory and both the Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
Over so many years in Parliament I’ve performed many roles like Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Transport and Communications (1990-2), Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Employment, Education and Training (1992-6), Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Environment, Sport and Territories (1993-6) and Parliamentary Secretary (Territories) (1993-4).
When Kevin Rudd and the Australian Labor Party were elected to form government in 2007, I was given the portfolio of Minister for Defence, Science and Personnel. I carried out this duty through to 2009 when I then became Minister for Inidgenous Health, Rural and Regional Health & Regional Service Delivery. I am currently in this position and enjoying my new role in health. p>

Who I'd like to meet: Territorians, people who are passionate about the north and the "bush" and want to see this part of Australia be developed in a sustainable way.Of course also those who are concerned about our environment and want a non nuclear future as well as those who have an interest in indigenous issues; and those with a belief in an Australia that accepts and appreciates difference; and of course those who want to see the Rudd Labor Team govern the country.
And of course supporters of Geelong, the Brumbies or the Raiders.
And anyone who likes a chat and a bit of a laugh :-)
