  • Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020
    Barton Deakin Brief: Northern Territory Election 19 August 2020 Overview The Northern Territory election is scheduled to be held on Saturday 22 August 2020. This election will see the incumbent Labor Party Government led by Michael Gunner seeking to win a second term against the Country Liberal Party Opposition, which lost at the 2016 election. Nearly 40 per cent of Territorians have already cast their vote in pre-polling ahead of the ballot. The ABC’s election analyst Antony Green said that a swing of 3 per cent would deprive the Government of its majority. However, it is not possible to calculate how large the swing against the Government would need to be to prevent a minority government. This Barton Deakin brief provides a snapshot of what to watch in this Territory election on Saturday. Current composition of the Legislative Assembly The Territory has a single Chamber, the Legislative Assembly, which is composed of 25 members. Currently, the Labor Government holds 16 seats (64 per cent), the Country Liberal Party Opposition holds two seats (8 per cent), the Territory Alliance holds three seats (12 per cent), and there are four independents (16 per cent). In late 2018, three members of the Parliamentary Labor Party were dismissed for publicly criticising the Government’s economic management after a report finding that the budget was in “structural deficit”. Former Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ken Vowles, Jeff Collins, and Scott McConnell were dismissed. Mr Vowles later resigned from Parliament and was replaced at a by-election in February 2020 by former Richmond footballer Joel Bowden (Australian Labor Party).

  • Hon Kezia Purick MLA, Speaker
    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY The Calm after the Storm – Are Storm Clouds Brewing Again? The Hon Kezia Purick MLA, Speaker As the Northern Territory reaches its midterm mark, two years after the 2016 election and two years before the 2020 General Election, it is timely to pause and assess how orderly the 13 th Assembly is and consider comparisons with the 12 th and previous Assemblies to consider which was the most tumultuous in the short and colourful history of the Northern Territory legislature. The 12 th Assembly ran from 2012 to 2016 and had what would kindly be referred to as some big personalities . At least six Ministers in the Cabinet (unofficially) actively wanted the role of Chief Minister for themselves with three Ministers serving or attempting to serve in the top job. I won’t go into detail here about the bizarre midnight coup of 3 February 2015, just enter that into your favourite search engine for more details. A revolving door of Cabinet reshuffles (18 in four years) and the sheer number of Deputy Chief Ministers reflected the lack of consistent leadership in Government. This had a significant impact upon the Legislative Assembly. A Government with initially 16 Members in August 2016 was reduced to a perilous minority of 11 by the time of the 2016 election. With a new Assembly came renewal. We have not even had a Cabinet reshuffle since the first Ministry was announced after the 2016 election. The Country Liberals were soundly defeated in 2016 with only two Members being returned to a shrunken Opposition bench and 18 Labor Government Members now occupying the Treasury benches in the 25 Member parliament.

  • Paul Henderson Lia Finocchiaro
    MOST POWERFUL 05 PAUL HENDERSON Hendo is the everywhere man. The former Chief Minister from 2007 to 2012 is now front and centre of the Territory’s economic fightback as co-chair of the Economic Reconstruction Commission with Andrew Liveris. With Liveris’ immense commitments nationally and overseas, Henderson will be the commission’s main go-to man on the ground in the NT. As Chief Minister, Henderson played a pivotal role in securing the $60 billion lchthys LNG project for Darwin, the second largest investment in Australia’s history and the largest investment outside of Japan by a Japanese company. He is now a strategic business consultant and corporate counsel across northern Australia, chancellor of Charles Darwin University and a board member of the Energy Club NT. Originally from the United Kingdom, Henderson has been a proud Territorian since 1983. He had a background in marine engineering and IT before holding public service leadership positions and being elected to service in the NT Legislative Assembly in 1999. There are a few former state and national leaders who should take a leaf out of Hendo’s book, showing you can still make a meaningful difference when you leave office if you don’t become a vindictive, bitter wanker. LIA FINOCCHIARO Finocchiaro revived the CLP at the election and turned it into a real Opposition. The pint-sized CLP leader has taken the power effectively thrust upon her after the retirement of Gary Higgins and run with it. With her at the helm, the CLP has managed to increase its numbers in parliament from two MLAs to eight.
