Roger Steele came to the Territory from Tasmania in 1948 when his father, a Warrant Officer First Class with the Armed Services, was posted to Darwin. He went to school in Darwin until 1952 when he was sent to an outback property owned by Charlie Schultze to become a ringer. He worked with stock for the next 20 years, becoming a stock inspector for what was then the Animal Industry Branch in 1962 and District Stock Inspector in 1964. He spent part of the next 10 years in West Australia and South Australia before returning to the Territory in the early 1970s selling insurance for the T & G company. In October 1974 he stood for the Country Liberal Party seat of Ludmilla and won in what was first Northern Territory election for a fully elected Legislative Assembly (previously it had been part elected, part appointed). He spent the next ten years in Parliament, holding several Ministerial portfolios, leaving in 1987. At the time of preparing this web site, he was working as a Community Liaison Officer for the Northern Territory Chief Minister. Roger's interview covers the period immediately after the cyclone and the conditions under which the newly elected member of the Assembly had to work. He also describes the damage and working conditions of the Legislative Assembly building.
