Business
- THE RIMFIRE REVOLUTION They started Rimfire Energy, a private provider of electricity, in a jurisdiction where the only enduring power supplier had been the NT Government-owned Power and Water Corporation.

Small businesses employ...Read more
Major Projects
- GROWING CENTRAL AUSTRALIA Central Australia is often treated as a postcard backdrop, a place you visit, not a place you build from. In reality, it’s one of the most strategically important regions in the country: nearly 40% of the Territory’s land mass, home to more than 40,000 people and an economy anchored by tourism, mining and energy, pastoral production and...Read more
- SITZLER KEEPS FAITH WITH TERRITORIANS The overpass at the junction of Tiger Brennan Drive and Berrimah Road in Darwin will improve road safety, reduce traffic delays and enhance important freight transport links.

- RELIABLE ENERGY FOR ALL TERRITORIANS One severe weather system, one disruption of a major asset, or one supply chain delay can place households, businesses, and entire regions under unexpected stress. In a place defined by distance and climate, reliability is not just a technical matter — it is central to safety, wellbeing, and opportunity. Across the Territory, our energy...Read more

- BIODIVERSITY IS BETTER ON BEEF For more than a century, pastoral families have worked across vast rangelands, shaping landscapes that remain some of the most intact in Australia. They did not achieve this by locking the country away. They achieved it by developing it with purpose, and the opportunity to build on that legacy has never been greater. Stretching across...Read more
- CAREERS ARE BETTER ON BEEF Out here in the Northern Territory, there’s a very different story unfolding, one that puts you at the centre of global food supply, world-class landscapes and a lifestyle most people only dream of. It’s time to realise that careers are better on beef. The NT pastoral industry produces some of the finest beef in the world. From premium...Read more
- BEEF REPORT Key points: Indonesia’s demand is holding strong, supported by stable prices and new programs. Vietnam’s livestock herds are shrinking under import pressure and high feed costs. Australia’s disease-free status continues to underpin strong regional trust. DARWIN: feeder steers $3.50kg The dry season is winding down and...Read more
- MINDSET SHIFT NEEDED Yet outside of the pastoral industry — and a handful of exceptions in mining — this vision has largelyfailed to materialise. Despite substantial public spending in the north, most of it now goes to social service delivery, not economic enablers. Growth on the eastern seaboard, shifts in how governments prioritise infrastructure, and the...Read more
Infrastructure
- GOLDEN ‘PAY’ DIRT Most were unaware of the massive effort required to create the specialised 1.6km track. The NT Government’s Department of Logistics and Infrastructure (DLI) had less than a year to design, construct and certify the new track from the release of the first tender. The track’s 22 corners, 21 jumps and a 90m starting straight were a rare...Read more

- DELIVERING WORLD-CLASS EDUCATION IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY This outstanding achievement places Essington not only at the forefront of education in the Territory but also on the national stage as the highest-ranking Northern Territory school in the Top 100 private schools across Australia. Yet these results represent far more than academic achievement alone — they reflect a school grounded in...Read more
- FROM TRAINING TO REAL WORLD IMPACT While trained teams, stocked supplies, and clear protocols are essential, without a central system guiding the response, even the best-prepared Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) can falter. That’s where the Emergency Medical Team Coordination Cell (EMTCC) training steps in — equipping participants with the skills to manage emergency...Read more
- CDU POWERS THE FUTURE REMHART, the Renewable Energy Microgrid Hub for Applied Research and Training, is based at East Arm on the outskirts of Darwin.

- SENTOSA Girls’ trip and beach clubs, luxury weekend escape, family holiday or a place you can eat yourself silly with direct flights only 4.45 hours away – I’ve found it. Having visited Singapore many times over the last 25 years, including as a connection to international destinations, this was my first venture to...Read more
- KNOW YOUR CHINESE CUSTOMER Harsh words, but all too often accurate. Of course, it’s rare that these approaches are stated so obviously, but it doesn’t take much effort to see them subtly at work. It’s an invidious process that can kill a business proposal. I was recently asked to help with a product aimed at Chinese consumers. The manager...Read more
