  1. NTG due diligence means the person is unqualified, over-paid & prepared to be a sock-puppet for CM Liar Finnochiaro as demonstrated by the unscrupulous, legally unqualified A-G Marie-Clare Boothby who should be sacked for NT Public Service abuse of power, fraud and lies. Why is no-one within the NTG holding these parasites to account? Where are the Feds to rescind the 1978 NT Self-Government Act before Knowles abuses his power & makes bad, secretive decisions as part of the CLP Stasi Gulag officers.

  2. TC role is similar to how Elon Musk’s DOGE appointment was made: skirting proper procedure for everyone else to get my man in the door. And he will owe me big time for getting him that lucrative long term contract with benefits.

    For those of you who want to access deleted or scrubbed info online, journalists who want to corroborate information and claims, anyone who wants to see what dodgy people have deleted, always check the Waybackmachine which documents all Internet web pages from the early creation of a ur most important communication system. Or https://web.archive.org for details. Oftentimes it works but on some sites it doesn’t.

    It’s lovely to read how many different individuals have obviously contributed to this article. Long may it continue.

    Public exposure is one part of the machinery of Fighting Back against this diseased system of corruption.

    Public engagement is the other big and strong part of that Fight Back. It comes through helping journalists and also becoming part of the solution.

    Enforcement is the final section. If the bodies which enforce laws against us don’t want to enforce the same laws on their mates then we have to grab that ball and run forward with it.

    You heard it here first – think about and research: ‘Northern Territory private criminal prosecution’, as a last but effective resort, only when all the enforcement mechanisms of power have failed you/us.

    LiaR is running scared with trying to justify this latest Captain’s Pick. She looks and sounds ridiculous. And no wonder.

    As soon as we decide to take that fight to the corrupt, with fellow team members helping us, eg. lawyers, NTI, and other bodies which support sunlight and accountability, then we can kick that final goal, or should we say, that final gaol, in celebration of finally putting one of the other team in prison for their crimes.

    A win for us and a win for the public interest.

    Choose a new political party which will help you and champion you in your quest for clean politics in the NT.

    It’s there, within our grasp, but we have to Fight for it. Once we get it, we can have a new clean political system and we get rid of all the dirt. Consigned to the rubbish bin, forever.

    That new party is called: ‘Change For Better’ or CFB for short. 😉 Look it up online.

    ps: isn’t it funny how commenter ‘Boof’, supporter of all things CLP, has now disappeared completely after we started encouraging the public to ask the Police to criminally charge Government ministers and their public servant friends for their fraud and corruption? LOL.

  3. Forgot to say: according to the Internet, Stuart’s wife Claire Manalo works in Power and Water, alongside Jodie Ryan, Andrew Kirkman’s sister.

    Look her up online, she has a really interesting work and scandal history. ChatGPT amongst others can assist you with that. 🙂

    That’s the same wife who whinged that Stuart might lose his public sector job if his admissions of criminal liability became public.

    From Zoominfo [dot]com:

    The stench is overwhelming…….

  4. His resume reads like a smooth talking charlatan. Good enough to talk his way into the job, but gets found out pretty quick. Liars employment practices is completely corrupted. She is desperate for friends and is keeping her circle tight, lest they reveal her obvious incompetence.

    Keep digging, there’s more to come. DCM & DCMC are common threads in these articles. Shame so many rats have already escaped though.

  5. How, how, how can we get the Feds to pull the plug on these sleasebags?

  6. Can we move on from MR Nowles?
    Isnt their any one in Labor with a fabulous Cocaine addiction?
    Isnt their any one in Labor facing super serious charges in court?
    Any more news about the fabulous, ethical and “Of-good-character” Directors at the Waterfront?
    Has Boothby not tripped up and landed face first on a premium quality Kens Crepes?
    Are there any Rollin’ motions in the CLP?

    • Can this woman get anymore stupid?

      • NT INDY delivered the Waterfront story the next day TAS!

  7. Good afternoon all,
    It’s so pleasing to hear the Lia R campaign is running at such a pace, and the dancing baker keeps feeding it!
    This blasted BS filter my brain has uploaded allows me to only see LiaR’s lips move!
    Footrot-In answer to you from my viewpoint!
    I took an opportunity to ask CLP Goyder MLA Andrew “ Mate what is your view on Lia, given the waterfront issue?”
    His response “ l have total faith in Lia, those contracts were done whilst Labor was in power!”
    So given this and coupled with the fact Territorians have heard didley squat from any of the CLP ministers, lm thinking they’re either morally weak or scared choosing an easy life with cosy benefits in silence!
    Even Labor are silent which only drives the ALPCLP love pact idea home moreso!
    I shouldn’t but l will!
    If l headed the CLP, l would push aside any mindsets “ removing Lia, Maley and Boothby would affect the party reputation in the minds of Territorians!
    I would Roll them postehaste and flush the arse licker hangers on also!
    Then l would instruct a full page letter to all Territorians was presented in both paper and digital formats. The letter would apologise to Territorians for the degradation and loss of faith in governance.
    The CLP party as a group has enacted this course of action as the directions and actions of these individuals goes against the core
    values, belief’s, respect and vision of the party, a party that is now focussed on rebuilding the Territory peoples respect!
    Or words to this effect, but lm tiling at the moment and my brain is otherwise engaged!
    The CLP don’t have the vision to realise that, in my opinion, Territorians would respect the CLP knowing that an action such as this is the very strength of character the Territory cries out for in governance!
    The very fact that LiaR is now a catch phrase is evidence enough the Parties reputation is forever affected!
    Oh hang on Daz, don’t forget to mention “ That CLP Budget- We’ll my Nana would say “ You would have to have to doodles to be that stupid”!
    Well my Santa and iced tea were nice, lm off tiling again!
    Keep great
