We are just five days away from the official Northern Territory Legislative Assembly election on August 24. 

I have been counting the days down in my diary for the past several months, and now it’s down to single digits for days remaining.

Tonight on Sky News there was an hour-long debate between Government Chief Minister Eva Lawler and Country Liberal Party Opposition Leader Lia Finnochario. 

I recorded the debate and will watch it tomorrow.  In overall terms, I am very, VERY excited about the culmination of our once in every four years election.

Early voting started on August 12 and within the first seven days of pre-polling, 58,000 have already voted. With only around 6,000 voters in each of our 25 seats, seats could change and the election outcome is far from predictable.

I am very excited.
