The reporters are not so sure and ask again why the Coalition has been largely absent from the Northern Territory after the Voice referendum.

Littleproud:

I’ve been here consistently. And that’s what I’ve proven to the people of Alice Springs that I continually come back, thus the respect that I show as potentially the next deputy Prime Minister of this country. I would have thought the people of Alice Springs are pretty happy to have the potential deputy Prime Minister of this country walking around listening to them and I haven’t seen the Prime Minister, I don’t have a big dance or people around me, I walk the streets, go to the pub, have a beer and listen to what people in Alice Springs are telling me, I’m not afraid to do that. I think they get better outcomes, that’s a practical solution for the NT and what National Party brings to Alice Springs and to Lingiari.

Yes Lingiari. You should feel pretty happy to have a potential deputy prime minister walking your streets. The potential deputy prime minister said so. Just ignore that they don’t have any policy and that the policy they have offered up is damaging, oh and that they were there very frequently during the Voice and then not at all. Don’t worry about that – not when you have the potential deputy prime minister there at your pubs!
