00:00Labor, defending its record and on the attack, just weeks out from the NT election, launching
00:07a new advertisement criticising the CLP's promise to raise the payroll tax-free threshold.
00:14The people who will benefit will be the Coles, the Woolworths, the Commonwealth Bank, the
00:19big businesses.
00:20Trying to snare a third term in power, Labor had been on the defensive, but no more.
00:26The powerful men in the CLP are the ones that control the CLP.
00:31With the CLP's top woman confident in her position.
00:35Labor is choosing to go down the road of personal politics, playing the person not the ball,
00:41running scare campaigns because it can't defend its own record.
00:44As the two major parties traded barbs, the Greens were addressing what they see as a
00:49lack of political integrity, promising to get rid of what they call dirty money and
00:54to make politicians accountable.
00:57We want to highlight what is really going on in Parliament House and finally we want
01:01to make our politicians accountable to the community.
01:04Also today, the CLP promising half a million dollars to increase Indigenous and female
01:10participation in cricket.
01:12And Labor attempting to present an improving debt situation, with Treasury releasing updated
01:18figures from the previous budget in May.
01:21In our debt, there's an improvement of 400 million dollars.
01:25Despite that improvement, the same Treasury figures show net debt continues to climb.
