“Madam Speaker, from the outset, the Labor opposition supports this Bill and has no issues with it. It is a minor Bill in terms of the processes and is not adverse to the NT. We will support any sensible reforms, which are encompassed in this Bill.”
“Madam Speaker, I support the Commercial Passenger (Road) Transport Legislation Amendment (Licensing) Bill 2026.”
Clinton Howe CLP
“Madam Speaker, I thank the Member for Karama for his incredibly strong advocacy for purchasing local. He truly has been an advocate for that the entire time I have known him personally and prior in his other public life on council. It is that kind of championing that brings certainty to local businesses.”
Joshua Burgoyne CLP
“Mr Deputy Speaker, there has been a lot of conversation on this Bill, so I will make my contribution relatively short. The Bill amends the Commercial Passenger (Road) Transport Act 1991 to extend the commercial passenger vehicle licence terms to a period of up to 36 months for initial applications and renewals.”
