ELECTION (1)

The NT goes to the polls to elect a government for the next four years on August 24 – in 35 days.

I have been an NT voter since self-government in the late 1970’s. I am excited and anxious about the possible outcome as we approach the election.

Will the future of our Territory be in the hands of the Lawler Labor Team, or will the CLP under Finacchario’s leadership come from behind – the ‘behind’ being eight years in the political wilderness – and snatch the government benches?

With each day, I am growing ever more apprehensive and nervous about which way the cookie will crumble.

It has been four years in the making, and the planning and anticipation have brought us to the edge of election day.
