In the latest dystopian news from the NT, former Inpex boss Stuart Knowles’s has been named the NT’s interim Territory Coordinator.
He will have unprecedented authoritarian powers to exempt projects like fracking in the Beetaloo Basin from environmental laws altogether.

Say hello to your (policy) friend down under
At a critical moment for the US, Australian culture has won a small victory -- and there is scope for an even more important Australia-American exchange via the sphere of public policy.

"Since the major parties have nine branches, and they can take four donations per donor every three years, that means a single person or company could give $1.8 million to a major party every election cycle."

Dutton, nasty as ever, wants to expel Australian citizens he doesn’t like. No. Once you’re a citizen, that’s it. There’s no second class, B-grade citizenship that can be withdrawn.

What happens to social housing if the LNP wins?
Or an interesting question may be “How many social & affordable homes will be built under the HAFF agenda if the LNP wins the next election?”
The answer is none.
One of Dutton’s extremely few announced actual policies is to scrap the HAFF.

The NT CLP Govt has this week defunded environment groups amid massive gas expansion plans, and proposed new authoritarian laws which transfer powers to an unelected bureaucrat to exempt projects like fracking from environmental laws altogether. It’s grim.

Despite having nuclear power since the 1950s, the UK only generates 15% of their energy from nuclear. And they still have no long term solutions to nuclear waste.
