willedoo Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 It looks like Labor got the boot in the Territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Indeed.. The leader looks to have lost her seat; There aren't many seats in the Territory, but the CLP has taken most easily. Looks like the Greens may get one (last time I read - but it was a tight race). Wake up call for Albo (as if he needs one). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 It's a State matter and NT always has worries with paying for things and usually requires extra support from the rest of the Country.. People wanted a change after about 9 years It's pretty rare to get what you'd call a GOOD government in the NT. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) It's a rare event to get a 3rd term in Govt in Australia. No doubt the big businesses are rubbing their hands over the huge increase in opportunities to shove unpopular business decisions through in the NT, now.

facthunter Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Labor knew they had too much in fighting. Victorian Libs are the same. Disunity is death in Politics. IF you can't run your show, how can you run the State/Country? Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man emu Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 There goes any hope of a treaty between the NT government and the indigenous population. That's simply my impression based on the change of philosophy of the government. I don't care either way about such treaties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Like I said, Albo tried to divide the country into ' native & immigrants'. A little more immigrants to natives in all the elections. I hope the ' independents ' have a field day and have a say in how the country is run . spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willedoo Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 The new chief minister is the first female CLP chief minister and the first Territory born female leader as well as being the youngest chief minister. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor campaigning + the willingless of people to swallow absolute lies from the No campaign (aka Dutton) either played to ignorance or existing prejudices. Be careful what you ask for, Spacey - most of the indepdents were for the Voice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willedoo Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Our election here in Queensland is in two months time. Going by the polls there's a good chance it might be the next Labor loss. If the LNP get in, it will only be their second term in government in 26 years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 The Territory Meme is now hard Law and Order. Not sure that's going to work long term. NT Labor was too disorganised. . The NT population is About 245,000. It's not like any other place in Australia in many ways. Nev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I wonder how involved the indigenous population was in the election. Obviously there are those who try to provide leadership through being involved in politics more actively that the average person. But what about the average indigenous person? It must be difficult to be bi-cultural when it comes to involvement in the European way of politics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
