Territorians will not benefit from a government dominated by independent candidates, says Tracey Hayes.

Why Tracey Hayes isn't running as an independentShe is yet to announce any firm policies, but is set in her decision to run with the Opposition party."I think that it's important for the future of the Territory that we have a strong Labor party and a strong CLP — there has to be a strong government and a strong opposition.

"I'm wanting to contribute to rebuild the CLP and hopefully have an opportunity to run at the next election. "I don't think that it would be in the best interest of the Territory to have the balance of power held by one or two independents." Ms Hayes said independent candidates still played an important role in the NT, but Territorians would benefit most from voting in a major party.
