He played an important role in the Referendum for statehood for the Northern Territory in 1998 . He had served for many years on a bipartisan committee of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly , which had recommended a constitution and an elected Constitutional Assembly to give it further consideration. The then Chief Minister, Shane Stone put forward a different constitution to a non-elected Constitutional Assembly. Steve Hatton was prominent in opposing this kind of statehood. The referendum failed, and he was reported as saying "One of the campaign slogans at the time was: 'we want statehood, not Stonehood'". |
