Sworn in for a second term

On Monday, 7 April 2008, I was sworn in for my second term on Council.  The formalities were presided over by Darwin's new Lord Mayor, Graeme Sawyer and CEO Allan McGill.

It was humbling to return for another term, having received a high 37% of the primary votes. I campaigned on local issues and my belief that to be an effective local alderman, you should live in the ward.

Former aldermen, Dorothy Fox and Chris Tilley lost their seats and were replaced by Fred Marrone and Robyn Leslie in Waters Ward and Greg Jarvis in Chan Ward. Jan Collins in Richardson Ward retired and did not contest her seat.
