old comments

Alongside the arrogant approach adopted by then Chief Minister Shane Stone, it is believed that most Territorians were reluctant to adopt the poor offer which was made.

This sentence is not very NPOV.

btw, how many inhabitants live in the NT?

--zeno 05:29 Jan 30, 2003 (UTC)

About 170,000 or 1% of the population of Australia.

Here it says large parts of the NT are "in the hands of Aboriginal peoples." There should be something about that in the article.

Sport

You have forgotten sport. Northern Territory hasn't got NRL, AFL or Super 14 teams. What is the most important sport? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.104.162.224 (talk • contribs) 9:55, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Discrepancy

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Area of the NT is given as 1347791 in the infobox and 1,349,129 in the text. A trivial difference but the two should agree. Doug butler (talk) 20:09, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is the NT called the "T"?

If it is, it needs a source, so I have deleted it. Bduke (talk) 09:55, 26 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
