  • The NT deserves better. I’ll fight for transparency, real accountability, and the Aussie spirit that built this great land.

    Darren Nugent is Pauline Hanson’s One Nation candidate for the Northern Territory Senate, stepping forward to restore strength, honesty and accountability to a region long neglected by Canberra. A proud Territorian and passionate advocate for real representation, Darren is determined to fight for the voices of everyday NT residents and lay down the foundations for One Nation’s rise in the Top End.

    A former member of the Country Liberal Party, Darren left the old establishment behind after seeing firsthand how ordinary Australians were being let down by career politicians. Now, as media liaison for the Northern Territory Gold Prospectors Association, he actively champions local issues and understands the frustration felt by those working hard but getting nowhere under current leadership.

    With years of experience raising three children, Darren brings backbone, compassion and unwavering determination. He has lived in Humpty Doo for over six years and is deeply committed to rebuilding the community spirit that defines the NT.

    Darren’s vision includes a revamp of the NT education system. He advocates a “triangulation model” of learning where students, teachers and parents all take responsibility. He supports empowering principals to manage discipline locally, not through the Chief Minister’s office. “We must let our educators teach, not manage behavioural crises.

    He also wants more transparency and real parliamentary accountability, where constituents feel heard and respected, not ignored. Darren believes in restoring the ANZAC spirit: courage, sacrifice and unity for a better Australia.

    He is running not to climb a political ladder, but to restore trust in leadership and give Territorians a voice that refuses to be silenced.

  • We live in a resource-rich nation, yet Australians are struggling to afford the basics. It’s time for strong leadership that prioritises affordable energy, secure jobs, and a safer community.

    Benjamin Craker is a dedicated tradesman and proud Australian who understands the struggles facing everyday workers and families in the Northern Territory. Working FIFO, Ben engages daily with workers from all walks of life, listening to their concerns and discussing practical solutions to improve their lives. His hands-on experience in the workforce gives him a clear understanding of what needs to change to restore prosperity, security and fairness for all Australians.

    Ben is deeply concerned about the skyrocketing cost of living and is committed to fighting for real relief. He strongly advocates for reducing fuel prices, making electricity affordable and implementing policies that ease financial burdens on families and businesses. “Australians should not be struggling to afford the basics when we are one of the most resource-rich nations in the world,” he says. “We have the coal, gas and minerals to power our own nation affordably, yet we’re paying the price for short-sighted policies.

    Crime remains one of the most pressing issues in the Northern Territory and Ben believes in strong measures to restore safety to the streets. He supports crime prevention programs such as boot camps, tougher sentencing and stricter bail laws. He is determined to tackle the root causes of crime by creating better opportunities for those facing disadvantage, ensuring that hard work is rewarded and law-abiding citizens feel safe in their own communities.

    Ben also recognises the the federal government’s staggering trillion-dollar debt and is committed to responsible fiscal management. Debt repayments at $50billion a year will soon outstrip what we spend on health and education. He is pushing for a fairer taxation system that ensures multinational corporations pay their fair share, while advocating for better use of the Territory’s abundant natural resources to generate real economic benefits for the people who live and work there.

    He is also a strong advocate for immigration reform, arguing that reducing immigration is necessary to ease the pressure on critical infrastructure, housing affordability and the environment. “We need policies that put Australians first, ensuring that homeownership is within reach for everyday people and that our communities have the infrastructure and services they need to thrive.

    In his free time, Ben enjoys motorcycling, bushcraft, scuba diving and backpacking. He is deeply frustrated by the mismanagement of Australia’s vast resources, which has left Australians facing rising costs and economic uncertainty. “We live in a country rich with coal, LNG, uranium, lithium and other minerals, yet we’re in massive debt and struggling. It doesn’t add up and I’m determined to change that,” he says.

    Benjamin Craker is ready to stand up for the people of Solomon and fight for real change in the Northern Territory. With a focus on affordability, infrastructure and safety, he is committed to ensuring the Territory and Australia as a whole are set on the right path for future generations.

  • 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.
