He would like to tell everyone “Fish on brother fishermen. Mike will be missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. The perfect way to relax off the coast of Cyprus-whether its on our most popular Dolphin Safari,Turtle Safari ,VIP Boat,The Sport of Deep Sea Fishing trips or Sunset trip,we have it all. His positive attitude was an inspiration to all he met. He made friends and family laugh every day even while facing the challenges of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). He made friends everywhere he went: the bait stand, the fishing pier, the produce aisle, the farmers’ market, on vacations throughout the land, and around the neighborhood. He loved to tell stories and jokes, spend time with loved ones, go to the beach, listen to music, carve art from wood, and most of all, go fishing. Mike worked for many years in the construction industry and refineries as a pipe fitter, welder, and boilermaker. His hometown was Ingleside, but he resided in Corpus Christi, Texas for the last 30 years. He entered this world on Octoin Taft, TX, born to Ned Pendaz and Elinor Pendaz. I never want that to change about our town.John Mickler “Mike” Pendaz, 69, beloved husband and father, went home to be with the Lord and go fishing in the waters of heaven on July 13, 2022. I love my local markets and I love that walking out my front door in Darwin means running into people I know, from all walks of life. We urgently need to kick out the Liberals, but we can’t stop there.Įvery Green vote is a vote for a better politics, that’s about building a good future for all of us, not just the super wealthy. In 2019, it was preferences from Green voters that decided the outcome on the final count in Solomon - and stopped Morrison and the CLP from winning a seat here. Everyone should have the option to vote for a party that isn’t about fighting strange factional battles, but is about offering a positive vision for our future. I’m running for the Greens because I’m so unimpressed with the other political offerings. I’m so proud that the Greens platform now includes powerful, costed policies to deliver a good future for us all - paid for by properly taxing big corporations and billionaires. Student debt is getting worse and the cost of housing is only climbing, especially after the last two years have pushed rents and house prices up so much.Įveryone should have a good home, access to excellent education and the chance to live well in their home community. Higher education is becoming more expensive, so it’s harder for us to train for our careers. Being a young person trying to get by in Australia has become so much harder under Scott Morrison and the Liberals - even in wonderful Darwin. I rent a home with my partner in Darwin, and I’m studying to become a nurse alongside my work. You can’t say you take the climate crisis seriously - then give away millions of dollars of public money to big gas companies to frack the Territory.Įvery Parliament needs a strong Green voice to push the other parties to go further and faster on climate change, and on looking after land, water and nature here in the NT. I ran in that election - aged 20! - because none of the other parties were offering real action on climate change.

In 2020, I ran for the Greens in the Northern Territory election in my home seat of Johnston, covering Millner, Moil and Jingili in Darwin’s northern suburbs. Working in healthcare during the pandemic has made it so clear to me that COVID has only made inequalities in healthcare in the Territory worse.

I’m a healthcare worker, a student and a renter in beautiful Darwin, where I was born and raised. Hi, I’m Aiya and I’m standing for the Greens in the seat of Solomon - covering Darwin and Palmerston.
