Sandy Griffin for Goyder
I have lived in her electorate of Goyder for over 20 years, in Virginia and Marrakai, and so am excited about this opportunity to be a truly rural voice for our community. I grew up in Tennant Creek, finished high school in Darwin and am proud to call the Territory home.
I have a PhD in environmental science and a law degree. I have spent 30 years working as an environmental scientist, supporting economic development, while also protecting the environment we all value. In that time, I have worked across the construction, defence and resource industries, have direct experience working with weeds, fire and biosecurity issues, and hail from a family of pastoralists and miners, so I understand the need to be practical, resourceful and pragmatic. I spent over 10 years growing a small business into a successful consultancy, and was awarded the NT Telstra Business Woman of the Year in 2005. I understand how tough it is to run a business. Volunteering as a firefighter for over 8 years in Virginia was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.
If elected, I will work hard to advocate for the community – whether it be for better roads, sensible approaches to subdivisions, community safety, improved community facilities, services for our seniors, more schools, supporting businesses or supporting reduction of weeds. I am the only candidate with the breadth of experience to be able to understand and provide meaningful input into policy decisions for all of the issues of Goyder.
