Hi, I’m Phil Scott

For 15 years I've worked with communities and brought people together to solve complex problems. I know that strong communities don't happen by accident, they're built through collaboration, smart investment, and a deep respect for the people who call this place home.

But like so many locals, I see the challenges we face — rising costs of living, a lack of secure jobs and housing, and growing inequality. I’ve also seen how the major parties are failing to represent our community.

That’s why I’m running as your community Independent — to take your concerns to Canberra and give us a real voice in Parliament. I’ll be accountable to you, not a party machine.

My Policy Positions

While the major parties look the other way, everyday costs are climbing, homes are out of reach, and big supermarkets and insurers keep cashing in. The people of Darwin and Palmerston deserve better.

  • COST OF LIVING RELIEF by cutting power bills, challenging price gouging corporations, expanding Medicare, making housing and interstate flights more affordable.
  • A STRONGER TERRITORY ECONOMY by building a diverse, stable and sustainable economy that prioritises local businesses.
  • REAL ACTION ON COMMUNITY SAFETY by getting tough on serious crime while investing in prevention and early intervention programs.
  • PROTECTING OUR LIFESTYLE, ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATE by boosting our renewable energy investment, and ensuring environmental protection laws are properly enforced.
  • INTEGRITY IN POLITICS by pushing for truth in political advertising, transparency around donations and lobbying, and stronger powers for the National Anti-Corruption Commission.
