ABC NT Local News

The Greens' candidate for the Northern Territory seat of Lingiari, Emma Young, is campaigning against a nuclear waste dump in the NT.

Ms Young says the Greens want to stop all mining and export of uranium from Australia.

She is based in Darwin for work, but has promised to move to the area if she is elected.

Ms Young says she is hoping to improve the Greens' vote in the seat, although her limited travel budget will be a challenge in the outback seat.

"Particularly with the Green party and probably other minor parties there is that issue of being able to get the information out on a limited budget and I think to increase that percentage of the vote that's coming in for this election and subsequent elections that would be a really good thing," she said.
