Lawson Broad is CEO of Somerville Community Services, the Uniting Church's community network arm. Born in Alice Springs to a father from New Zealand and a mother from the UK, Lawson spent his early years between Australia and New Zealand including a six year stint in Santa Teresa between the ages of 9 and 16. His father worked in translating the bible into Eastern Arrernte language. Lawson finished school and headed to Melbourne University where he enrolled in a BA. But life was far to exciting for a 17 year old and after chasing a girl to Perth, he returned to Darwin having completed two years of study. After trying a few different things he went to Adelaide to do a degree in International Relations. He then headed up to Darwin where he has been for the most part. Lawson talks about his time as a political adviser to the CLP, from the heady days after Terry Mills won the election to getting rolled. His career was a rollicking ride but it was what happened after he helped Yingiya Guyala win the seat of Mulka that should be particularly concerning to Territorians, as it raises questions about political retribution in the Territory. This is Lawson's Territory Story. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/territorystory/message
