If the rest of us knew these people existed and what was being done to them in our name, we would scarcely believe it. |

The draft boundaries for the next Northern Territory Legislative Assembly election in 2024 were released yesterday. Changes were mostly restricted to the Darwin-Palmerston area, and no seats have changed hands. There was just one change outside of the northern urban area. An area around Timber Creek was moved from Daly into Gwojato the west of Katherine. This area is quite large in terms of land mass but only contained a few hundred voters. Changes were more significant in Darwin, and particularly in Palmerston. Port Darwin is the only seat in the area unchanged. |
