What disgusting and reprehensible words from a completely stupid man. People don't leave abusive situations for all sorts of reasons, including emotional, psychological, and financial. It is this attitude towards the abuse of women, including myself, that saw me quit the CLP.

Nothing excuses Brent Potter MLA - Member for Fannie Bay for recently exposed social media posts. The CLP needs to tread carefully, having recently been exposed for holding extremely racist views themselves. pedestrian.tv/news/northern-…

My heartfelt thoughts go out today to my former colleague Joel Fitzgibbon, his family, friends, colleagues and those of his son Jack, tragically killed in an ADF training exercise. This is a reminder that our ADF members put their lives on the line for us every day.

Great news for the NT with new airline, Bonza, announcing services to Alice Springs and Darwin. The test will be how long they continue these services with the airline recently cutting 5 routes from regional QLD and NSW. abc.net.au/news/2023-09-2…

Good news for some people in Alice Springs, pity poor Tennant Creek, Katherine and Darwin. We now have to put up with their drunks and trouble makers for another year. abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…

This is NOT the answer. There is a much simpler solution that will only penalise offenders, not the entire population. Introduce a licence to drink and cancel it for alcohol or violence related offences including secondary supply. abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…

This NT Government needs to stop airlines treating Territorians with complete contempt.

Minister Manison seems to be lifting her information on declines in tourism numbers straight from an ABC report on QLD. She cited almost verbatim, cost of living, rising interest rates and the cruise industry being responsible for tourism decline. No crime to see here!

A cynical person might think that since Commissioner Chalker and CM Fyles have known each other a long time, a nice way for her to "sack" him, would be to bungle his termination then agree to give him a massive payout of taxpayer money. ntnews.com.au/news/police-co…

This situation is completely untenable. You can't have an effective Minister or shadow spokesperson for Indigenous Australians if they don't have the support, respect and confidence of the major Land Councils. Something needs to change to rectify this, urgently.

The NT Government Comedy Show would be absolutely hilarious if it wasn't real life. This is playing out like a "Yes Minister" meets "Faulty Towers" episode. The CM just needs to come clean on has the Commissioner lost the confidence of NTG, or not.

It's really simple, put the onus on people who buy alcohol to pay for the safety of drive through bottle shop staff. Outlets should pay to have Palis in attendance at all times.

Have a read of my opinion on what a predictor Arafura will be on the 2024 NT election.

I congratulate the Albanese Government for carrying through the work of my Government on the AUKUS deal. I urge them to go all in with nuclear power in this country. It makes no sense to have nuclear subs without a nuclear industry and it would make us the first country to try.

It seems English has left the building at the CLP, with the latest media release stating "Can businesses be treated at least as GOOD as criminals?"

I am deeply sad today to learn of the death of my friend and former colleague, Senator Jim Molan. Jim was an absolute delight as a person and a fountain of knowledge particularly in the defence committee we both served on. RIP my friend and condolences to all family and friends.

@almalumley That is complete rubbish. I stayed with them for 8 months after I lost pre-selection. I quit the CLP when they thought it was perfectly fine to make me sit in a room with my abuser.

@senator_sam Gee has a backbone. You only left the Nats when they refused to re-select you for the senate job

I understand, probably more than most, how difficult the decision would have been for Andrew Gee to leave the Nats. I do support his comments on "the voice", I find it regrettable that the party has taken a hard NO stance this early on, instead of trying to work on a +ve outcome.

Hardly any surprise that the NT Government is continuing to stand behind the failed Sun Cable project- their former Chief Minister, Michael Gunner, works for the company! abc.net.au/news/2023-01-1…

The NT Government needs to come clean with Territorians about how much money they have contributed or committed to this project. I have been saying for 3 years that this is a non-viable, Emporers new clothes perhaps. abc.net.au/news/2023-01-1…
