It's three times the size of Tasmania and combines...

From pastoralists and remote community residents to town campers and suburbanites — voters in the redrawn seat of Namatjira come from vastly different corners of the red centre.

A redistribution has shifted parts of suburban Alice Springs into the seat, which stretches around the town and south east to the edge of the border.

NT Chief Minister accused of 'scaremongering' over coronavirus by Country Liberals and Territory Alliance Opposition parties in the Northern Territory are accusing Chief Minister Michael Gunner of politicising the pandemic. But the Labor leader says the next government "will have to keep your life safe [and] keep your job safe" as the crisis continues.In an election debate on commercial radio, the Labor leader repeated his pitch for Territorians to "stay the course" with his Government and declared it a risk to vote for the Country Liberals or Territory Alliance.

It lost an area in the north to the seat of Barkly, and a vast area between the Stuart Highway and Western Australia to Gwoja.

ABC election analyst Antony Green calls them "radical boundary changes" and says it has created a hybrid seat of urban and bush voters.

And the change has tipped the balance of votes.

In what was a safe Labor seat, the Country Liberals now have a narrow margin of 2 per cent.

Ahead of the election on August 22, the ABC asked four voters from across the seat what matters to them.

The pastoralist

Steve Cadzo runs around 6,000 cattle on Mt Riddock Station, about 20km north-east of Alice Springs.

He wants NT representatives to lobby federal politicians to get the roads near his property upgraded.

"One of my key things is to finish bituminising [the Plenty Highway] to the Queensland border and up to Mt Isa, across to Boulia," he said. Coronavirus, funerals and sorry business behind record low voter turnout in remote NT The Northern Territory Electoral Commissioner Iain Loganathan says he is very concerned, as funerals delayed due to coronavirus and biosecurity area restrictions keep many voters away.Annie Young said it was why she came out to vote when the Northern Territory Electoral Commission (NTEC) set up a mobile polling booth in the community. It has become wildly popular during the last several months because of claims that it helps with a variety of ailments, from anxiety and diabetes to headaches and Elsewhere, California, Georgia and New York City have sided with the federal authorities, banning the addition of CBD to food.

Mr Cadzo says travelling along the unsealed parts of the Plenty Highway can be a huge strain on his business, especially when the road is in bad condition.

"If the Plenty is bad, we turn our trucks around and go up to Tennant Creek and Mt Isa, and that adds an extra 700km [to our journey]," he said.

"We get rid of our vehicles at 100,000km, because they're no good after that, they've been rattled to pieces.

"It's like seeing $50 notes flutter off the top deck [of your truck]. It's cruel."

Mr Cadzo said as well as making freight and logistics easier, bituminising this road could also make it easier for tourists to visit the Harts Range section of the NT from Queensland.

The remote community resident

Raymond Webb is a resident of the small community of Atitjere, nestled at the base of the Harts Ranges and home to 460 people.

"The big issue for me is housing, and roads," he said.

The community leader believed too much housing stock was being built in Alice Springs, and that people living in the seat's eight remote communities were being left out when it came to infrastructure.

It is easy both to enter and to travel around pocket- sized Belgium which is divided into the Dutchspeaking north and the French-speaking south. Elsewhere, the nightlife choices depend on the size of the town, but there is no shortage of fun to be had in any of the major cities. It ’ s a simple bit of prestidigitation combined with an OCDlike inability to resist doing the trick. A coin is tossed three times and the outcome is the same in all the three tosses. The first time the coin was tossed produced head or tail with probability 1 (both were allowed).

"We don't get much housing from the Government. We don't get houses to the community. Most of it [is built] in the cities in Alice Springs," Mr Webb said.

"People have been on waiting lists for five to six years."

He wants politicians to come out to communities more regularly, to see what life is like there.

"I want them to come, talk to us, and see what we need. We feel left out," Mr Webb said.

The suburban resident

Solicitor Ruth Morley lives in Larapinta, one of the Alice Springs suburbs recently shifted into the seat of Namatjira.

Ms Morley says she is looking for "really strong regional leadership" to help drive the recovery from the coronavirus crisis.

"I'm desperately concerned about our young people, and the lack of employment that's available for them," she said.

"We need people who are going to be persuasive at a state and territory and federal level, to ensure we have the resources we need in our economies to weather coronavirus and the drought."

Ms Morley said she was looking for a candidate with experience and a plan to help key sectors like tourism recover quickly.

"Now is not the time for amateur hour, for people who want to give politics a go. We need moderate leadership, people who can keep a steady hand on the reigns."

The town camper

Town camper, social worker and Australian of the Year nominee Shirleen Campbell lives in one of the many town camps in the electorate of Namatjira.

She hopes candidates in Namatjira take serious action on preventing domestic and family violence, which she says has increased in the time of coronavirus.

"We need more education and training around this, and more funding for Aboriginal organisations so they can work from the ground up," Ms Campbell said.

"It's like building a house, you've got to build a foundation, we've got to work together to make this a long-term priority for all people."

Ms Campbell also said reforms were needed to the power card system used in Alice Springs town camps, a system which required residents pre-pay for their power.

"Having power cards should be targeted for people having trouble with budgets, not everyone in town camps," she said.

The social worker was concerned about the many different groups represented in Namatjira.

"It sounds like a pretty big job. How is that person going to cope looking after all of those areas?"
