About NT Independent

NT Independent is an award-winning online newspaper based in Australia’s Northern Territory and the platform for community debate. We will be exposing corruption and mismanagement in the public service as well as reporting on business, crime and other stories that matter.

OUR AIM

The Northern Territory has a large Government and a small population. This means many of the citizens of the NT have a limited ability to speak out due to repercussions.

The NT Independent’s aim is to increase accountability of our publicly elected representatives, the executives in the public service and the political parties. The NT Independent will not accept Government advertising and will report in a manner that is free of any influence. We will have one bias – a bias for the truth.

OUR TEAM

Our team of award-winning journalists report on the Northern Territory with ground-breaking stories and exclusives that you won’t find anywhere else.
