The Territory now has a ‘Coordinator’, following a late-night session of Parliament that saw the CLP Government use its numbers to pass the controversial legalisation that will create a new government position with the powers to circumvent existing public safeguards, that Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said would “redefine the way business is done in the Northern Territory”.
The bill, which was objected to by an overwhelming number of Territorians who took part in the public consultation process, was passed around 1:30am Wednesday, after protests were held earlier on Tuesday.
Interesting that at least half the comments on FB are saying in effect, whacko, this is great, let’s get rid of all this environmental BS. And Indigenous too. Do we really not want to save our environment for our kids? And what has open slather for big business done for us anyway?
That’s not what anyone is saying. If you pay attention you will realise they are saying they are fed up with hacktivist hijacking the will of the people under false pretenses, fabricated “science” and emotive based philosophies. People voted for a chance for the NT to return to prosperity.
