The Northern Territory: Australia’s Present and Future
Outline
The Northern Territory is more than a distinct and distinctive part of Australia. It is also a responsibility of all Australians, as voters and taxpayers responsible for its well-being, and its cultures and environment. Like other developed countries since 1945, Australia can make a mess of it or learn from it. Either way it may carry the seeds of Australia's future.Presenter
