00:01A wide land with a low population.
00:05The Northern Territory has a unique position in an ongoing national debate.
00:10Is mass migration, do you believe, a problem for the Northern Territory?
00:14No, I don't think so. I think we've got a pretty big landscape here
00:17where we can fill other people, mate, so go nuts.
00:20In my opinion, no, not really. I reckon any culture can come here
00:24or, you know, explore or learn or anything like that.
00:27Well, we've got limited jobs in that here, so a limited amount of people.
00:32If they bring in skilled labourers, no worries.
00:35Fiery marches around Australia last month, including one in Darwin,
00:40put a spotlight on migration rates,
00:42with an NT senator among the nation's most vocal critics.
00:46The issue that's of great concern, which, you know, I won't be silenced on,
00:51is the issue of mass migration in our country.
00:55But some believe she's working at cross-purposes to her own constituents.
01:00I don't think she even knows who her constituents are.
01:03I think her constituent is Sky News.
01:07The senator's commentary is more about talking to a base of people interstate,
01:14and she should really focus on the needs of the Territory.
01:17There's an active push to attract up to 14,000 more skilled migrants to the NT
01:23to fill labour shortages.
01:25The things we need here in the Territory are health professionals.
01:29And it so happens that most of our health professionals here,
01:33a good chunk of them, are from places like the subcontinent.
01:37And the NT government is today pushing for an increase
01:40to the Territory's annual migrant intake.
01:43We want to grow our population, we want to grow our economy,
01:46and we need more people.
01:47So we're working hard,
01:48and Cinder Price is working hard fighting for the Northern Territory,
01:50and we support her.
01:51Senator Numpajimpa Price did not respond to questions
01:54about whether her rhetoric is at odds with the people who voted her in.
01:59Senator Numpajimpa Price is going through the UK

02:21and looking atop BB だle Pにな称aths
