  • We need real solutions to fix the cost of living, crime, and infrastructure in Lingiari. I won’t just talk about it—I’ll fight for it every step of the way.

    Sakellarios Bairamis, known to many as Charlie, is a dedicated therapeutic care worker and skilled construction roofer who understands the struggles facing everyday Australians. Coming from an immigrant family, he is proud to call himself Australian and is committed to preserving the values that once made this nation strong. As a father of five, he has firsthand experience of the pressures families face and is determined to fight for a better future for his children and the community.

    A hardworking and community-focused individual, Sakellarios has spent years supporting troubled youth in residential care. Through this work, he has seen the devastating impact of youth crime and the consequences of poor government policies that have failed the next generation. He believes in stronger measures to tackle crime, including early intervention, tougher sentencing, and better rehabilitation programs to ensure young people have the support and discipline they need to become productive members of society.

    The Northern Territory has some of the highest crime rates in the country, and the people of Lingiari deserve better,” Sakellarios says. “We need real solutions that not only hold offenders accountable but also provide opportunities for young people to break the cycle of crime.

    Sakellarios is also deeply concerned about the rising cost of living, which is placing enormous strain on families and small businesses across the Territory. He believes Australians should not have to struggle to put food on the table while the government wastes billions on policies that don’t serve the people.

    Everyday Australians are working harder but getting nowhere because of reckless government spending and skyrocketing costs,” he says. “We need affordable energy, fair wages, and policies that prioritise Australian families over foreign interests.

    With his background in the construction industry, Sakellarios understands the importance of infrastructure investment, particularly in regional and remote areas like Lingiari. He is a strong advocate for building better roads, upgrading essential services, and ensuring that local industries receive the support they need to grow.

    I know what it means to work hard and build something from the ground up. That’s exactly what we need to do with this country, stop tearing it down and start rebuilding it for future generations,” he says.

    An avid outdoorsman, Sakellarios enjoys fishing, hunting, and camping under the stars—activities that connect him deeply to the land and the values of self-reliance and freedom. He is committed to protecting the rights of Australians to enjoy their country, free from overregulation and political overreach.

    Unlike career politicians who disappear after an election, Sakellarios vows to remain on the ground, standing alongside his community every step of the way. “The people of Lingiari deserve a representative who will listen, fight for them, and never back down,” he says.

    Sakellarios Bairamis is ready to bring back a thriving Australia, one where hard work is rewarded, families are supported, and communities are safe and prosperous.
