Homegrown territorians needed to boost the NT – CM says

I think our Chief Minister is right to be concerned about the lack of Territory talent aimed at being more significant contributors to our economy and developing socio-economic direction.

But whether or not the territory becomes more focussed upon by those born and raised here is a vexed question.

So many, young and old, move away because they believe their chances of succeeding are better elsewhere.

Part of this may have to do with the many middle and upper occupational levels, filled by those from overseas and interstate rather than from within the NT.

Many outsiders also come to boost their CVs and broaden their experience before moving elsewhere.
