OPINION: It is interesting to hear the usual, generally derogatory comments about Kevin Andrews which have started again since he lost his preselection. Those comments relate to a Bill he put forward to Federal Parliament many years ago to override the NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Act.

Another week in the NT and a week closer to world takeover. From the million dollar fish in a barrel, to the launch of a new NT currency called the Gunner, to a set of steak knives with every economic reconstruction. This is what is good and what is gammon this week.

It’s another week in the Territory and the shiftiness continues. From one of the NT’s most senior public servants banning the NT Independent in the bureaucracy, to disappearing public servant names, to the Gunner Government making the NT the diversionary tact capital. This is what has been good and what has been gammon this week.

Another week in the Territory and no escape from this horrible political bubble we find ourselves in. From the Little Emperor running from another press conference, to the new NT power broker super friends, to a continuing gross failure of transparency and accountability. This is what is good and gammon this week.

Another week in the Territory and there is now no hotter place. From humour to help us out, to cognitive dissonance on the fifth floor to the Chief Minister liking the federal Liberal leader more than the federal Labor leader.

OPINION: Over the last 20 years, instead of pursuing excellence and improving professional standards, the NT legal system has deteriorated. Most of the players in this theatre of the absurd – Supreme Court justices, local court judges, and lawyers – are just going through the motions, either inured to the process or unaware of any proper alternative to its absurdity and inadequacy, writes John Lawrence SC.

Another week in the Territory and now we are fully lubricated. From the cops’ call for more honest criminals, to dental dams by the truck load, to the NT News’ most favouritest fraudster. This is what is good and what is gammon this week.

EDITORIAL: The bigger problem for the ABC is that they cannot refute the notion that stories have been suppressed due to a soft spot for their reporter’s husband. The irony here is also striking. The ABC is conducting its business the same way the Gunner Government does: disregarding its own integrity policies because adhering to them is too difficult.

There’s a reason why people regard politicians down the bottom end of liked professions in our society, and it has a lot to do with shifting principles that change with election cycles, former independent MLA Gerry Wood writes.

LISTEN TO THE SONG: Another week in the Territory and parliament is back so now we know we’re in trouble. From organised non-criminal, mango madness to the potential for Australia’s most flamboyant RSL, to our very special exclusive, a gansta rap single by the chief minister, aka Micknormous G, aka Sweary Mick. Here is all that is Good n’ Gammon this week.

Another week in the Territory and now we are welcoming Australians home. From helping those stranded overseas, to the new Centre for National Bullshit to the Territory being the undisputed No Consequences capital. This is what is is good and what is gammon this week.
