The NT is heading for boundless debt

Our levels of debt and the anticipation of much more to come, blow my mind. Years of flagrant spending on unnecessary projects and pipedream schemes havd totally flabbergasted any logical approach to finance management at government level both here and all over Australia. 

Out-of-control Nightcliff at night

Rights and entitlements of some are held to be of paramount importance within Darwin and Nighcliff. This particular cohort’s ability to live and act so disgracefully is forgiven because of who they are. No wonder the boundaries of what is acceptable seem to count for nothing. Permissiveness is not the answer, for the majority suffer at the hands of the special treatment offered to the minority.

A flurry af airlines and routes and special prices

The increase in flights, routes, and airlines coming into Darwin and the NT—help; I am getting dizzy, and my head is spinning with these ‘realisations’. But how long will it last, and how temporary will the upturn in routes, airline engagement, and special seat costs last? 

Thanks to NT Emergency Services

As a long-time Territorian, I want to thank our Emergency Services personnel for the outstanding job they have done and continue to do for us all. We are so blessed to have this great cohort of people looking out for and supporting us all. 

Costs of detaining young people in custodial circumstances

Beyond time, places like Wildman River and the Gunn Point Farm should be re-established with basic but wholesome facilities without razz-a-matazz and gilt trimmings.  Skills training and compulsory education should be part of such re-establishment.  The realisation of the seriousness of life comes from such developments.  And detainment costs would be realistic, not astronomical.

Drugs a growth industry

Seems that illicit drugs are a manufacturing and growth industry. Expect more drug related deaths and addicted people dying at increasingly younger ages. 

 

Third parties obstruct good government P

Good on the CLP. Too many of these third parties seem to have an agenda based on project obstruction and delay

.

Where are the Councillors

 

All well and good, but many Councillors seem to rarely surface between elections.

AFL CEO is brilliant

All the very best to this outstanding nan who has done so much to further the depth breadth, appeal and outreach of AFL in the NT. The code has been blessed and enriched by his magnificent contribution.

Operation Ludlow

Operation Ludlow from a policing perspective deserves top marks for apprehensions and arrests. Those involved have earned a high distinction for the achievement of objectives.  The downside and shame are that the judiciary seems to be continuing its weak-wristed response when it comes to consequences. Will its abject failure continue to haunt territorians?
