Residents of Laramba, north-west of Alice Springs, lodged a legal case against the landlord, which in this case is the NT's Department of Housing. But in the NTCAT's ruling against the residents, the tribunal member Mark O'Reilly said the uranium in the water was not the responsibility of the landlord.
"If the water supply in Central Australia simply dried up completely it would not be the responsibility of the various landlords of Alice Springs to provide a remedy or compensation." "In reality the landlord does not make water available at the premises at all … The landlord's responsibility is to provide safe and functioning infrastructure to facilitate the supply of water by the service provider."Other community residents have fought housing department

NT Police frustrated after issuing coronavirus fines for cafe and pub visits over the weekendPolice in the NT are warning a small minority of visitors and returning Territorians are endangering lives after seven people broke quarantine rules over the weekend, including to go to a cafe and visit a pub. That’s very disappointing Money extortion scheme by Nazi Police. Is this not proof that home quarentine doesn't work? We're only as strong as our weakest link - it only takes one of these selfish prats to have the virus to set off a whole chain reaction.

Remote-learning move not enough to quell teachers' virus fears“Social distancing cannot happen in a classroom environment,' said the principal of a leading non-government school. 'We’re being told to say it’s OK to be in the classroom and I know it’s not.' Kids have never been the problem... just make sure the teachers keep a safe distance. It’s more important for the senior kids to be at school at this time. The threat to their health by not being at school is far worse than the virus. Teachers don’t have to wear a mask but I should if I go to Bunnings 😂😂 Students can’t see the teachers facial expressions. Making stuff up as they go. ItsBouquet despite Morrison and Brendan Murphy convincing everyone that schools are safe... that doesn't appear to be the case
