TENNANT CREEK, NORTHERN TERRITORY – Barkly Regional Council proudly hosted a special Citizenship Ceremony today (Wednesday 15 October 2025), welcoming 11 new individuals into the Australian family. Presided over by Mayor Sid Vashist and attended by Pat Brahim , from Patta Aboriginal Corporation who provided Welcome to Country, the event was also attended by representatives from MP Marion Scrymgour's and the Hon. Steve Edgington MLA offices. The ceremony took place in Tennant Creek at the Barkly Regional Council Chambers and marked a significant milestone for the conferees and the broader Barkly community. Surrounded by their family and friends, the new citizens from a diverse range of backgrounds, including The Philippines , Fiji, New Zealand and Nepal , took the Australian Citizenship Oath, pledging their loyalty to Australia and its people. The atmosphere was filled with joy and pride, as each individual received their Certificate of Australian Citizenship. Mayor Sid Vashist warmly congratulated the new citizens, acknowledging the profound commitment they have made. "Today is a truly special moment for these 11 individuals and for all of us in the Barkly region," Mayor Vashist stated. "Becoming an Australian citizen is a significant step, representing a deep commitment to our country, our values, and our shared future. We are incredibly proud to welcome you all and celebrate your journey." The Mayor concluded the proceedings with an enthusiastic, unofficial, but distinctly Australian cheer “Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi” to a round of applause and laughter, perfectly capturing the spirit of the event. The ceremony highlighted the rich multicultural fabric of Tennant Creek and the broader Barkly region – 33.1% of whom are born overseas (2021 Census)- and underscoring the strength that diversity brings to communities. The Barkly Regional Council extends its warmest congratulations to all 11 new Australian citizens and looks forward to their continued contributions to the community.
