Jarrod Jupurula Williams joins the CLP team to take the fight to Labor in Gwoja.
A proud Warramungu, Walpiri and Kaytetye man, Jarrod Jupurula Williams has lived and worked in Central Australia and the Barkly his entire life.
Raised in Tennant Creek, Jarrod Jupurula Williams was recognised at a young age as being a leader receiving the Australia Day Community Service Award in 2000 for his involvement with the night patrol.
His sense of duty and desire to serve saw him work for 10 years in the NT Police as both an Aboriginal Community Police Officer and Constable. This gave Jarrod the skills and knowledge to work with Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal people right across in the NT.
Jarrod Jupurula Williams then worked in primary industries on cattle stations, mining, rail and road logistics, building roads and infrastructure.
“Gwoja is important to my family, I work there and everyday I see countryman being let down by Labor for many years. There’s overcrowding in homes, sick kids with no access to healthcare, and the roads aren’t maintained leaving locals isolated, and pushing up cost of living even higher.”
“We need to give people the opportunity to get a job and have a purpose. I’ll be working with elders to bring back community councils which will ensure a sense of pride in communities of Gwoja.” said CLP Candidate for Gwoja, Jarrod Jupurula Williams.
