ANALYSIS: Australia's first pandemic election is here, and Labor hopes it's onto a winner

Michael Gunner's big promise of the Territory as the "comeback capital" sounds uplifting and taps into deep voter concern about the jobs and economic prospects of the NT, but he has not presented a detailed plan for getting there.of annual economic growth figures of 5 per cent were based on any modelling, the chief described them as "aspirational".

The commission's work now overlaps with what Labor was already meant to be doing — a spokeswoman for Treasurer Nicole Manison confirmed a review of regulatory processes,to help boost much-needed private investment, has been handed over to the commission to finish. It all leaves voters trying to choose who they think is best able to lead the NT out of this mess, before the parties outline exactly how they will do it.The challengers are telling Territorians to change the course.

Looks like a swing against them at this stage oops Anna’s Saturday night just ruined

No Hitler Youth says this could get messy!

KirbyPortDarwin Hope you are thinking about this a lot... Creative voting. Walk up to the polling booth, say no, to the 9 trillion pieces of paper being handed to you. Walk in. DO NOT get your name crossed off, exit the building. Greet some of the people out the front.

Aren't both parties just two sides of the same globalist coin? What a choice.

Reported by ABC News. The political arm of Murdochs media.

Covid infections now replaced by election infections. What a surprise.

Do we still get votes Are you sure ABC

NT labor Gave guaranteed bail to criminals and gave no penalty for breaching bail. They legalised crime.

They're kidding aren't they? They close borders refusing to allow urgent cross border hospital treatment, farmers to attend birthing of their animals, students to attend school & workers to attend their business! That's not a winner,It's unmitigated disaster! Vote with your feet!

Only our immoral political entities would use Covid to assist in winning an election. Why not consolidate their efforts to help bring an end to the situation. One has to question what ulterior motives there may be.
