Northern Territory leading the way to curb Labor’s stumbling blocks: Pic Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro
By Jim O’Toole
The Northern Territory Country Liberal Party administration is fed up with the myriad of Labor’s restrictive development policies, cruel mining regulations, extortionist wage demands and ridiculous union safety rules that make workplaces too safe to work. It is surging ahead with its proposed Territory Coordinator position which will bypass this regulatory nightmare to allow economic progress.
Forums have been held around the Territory to allow public input, revealing only the hopeless Labor Opposition party howling in the wind like an Ayers Rock dingo, lest the new Coordinator upsets an Aboriginal ambit land claim.
Six forums were held to engage residents, businesses, and stakeholders.
“The Territory Coordinator is about action, ambition, and outcomes,” Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said.
“It’s about creating a clear, efficient path for projects that will define the next chapter of the Northern Territory – projects that generate jobs, grow businesses, and attract global investment to our doorstep.”
According to the proposed legislation, once a project is declared “significant”, the Territory Coordinator can then set deadlines for government departments to provide approvals. If the project is considered to be of “major importance”, the Chief Minister and the controller could “step in” and run the assessment process to “ensure processes and decisions are made in a timely way”. An “exemption notice” could also be issued to exclude existing regulations from being used on the proposed project.
“The Territory Coordinator’s work will unlock the Territory’s potential as an economic powerhouse, ensuring we lead the nation in attracting large-scale developments,” Ms Finocchiaro said.
“Every Territorian has a stake in this – every job created, every dollar invested, and every project completed will strengthen our communities. I urge all Territorians to take this final opportunity to have their say.”
Labor administrations for decades have placed immense environmental policy barriers against any development or activity, be it housing estates, new homes, roadworks, motor vehicle taxes, rural landowners, clearing, dams, irrigation water and farming.
The recalcitrant, UN policy-driven Labor Party and to a lesser extent the Liberal National Party have stymied housing development to such an impossible state that several multinational and national developers have either gone broke or shifted their operations overseas.
In 2021-22, there were 63,858 home building approvals nationally compared to 47,958 in 2023-24.
Whilst numerous building companies and their experienced staff were crucified by the Covid scamdemic, never to recover, Labor’s crippling environmental regulations have sent many builders out of business.
Aboriginal land claims and pseudo-cultural heritage sites have stopped real estate developments, mining projects, water storage and cost new road construction millions.
Australia is not a good place to invest according to the Business Council of Australia.
The past decade has seen the weakest productivity levels in 60 years and mining investment has dropped more than 60 per cent since 2012.
In any other country these results would have economists screaming depression, not a gamin recession as the political party duopoly likes to phrase it.
Coal miners have announced there would be no more coal exploration in Queensland and no more new mines. The Labor/Green alliance has its ugly head shoved so far up its ideological arse that it is unable to fathom that mining royalties, hence government income will suffer a significant downturn.
Pressing on with the worst ever, government-sponsored environmental damage on an Australia-wide scale the Labor mob under the skewed guidance of the moronic Minister Chris Bowen continue to wreck prime farmland and old-growth forests with inefficient, subsidised, massive wind generators, many thousands of kilometres of transmission lines, roads and tens of thousands of hectares of solar panels.
Farmers and regional communities are at their wits end witnessing this farmland destruction and aesthetic catastrophe in the name of an inefficient, renewable power supply
The Business Council summed up the country’s social morass quite well in June 2023:
“Wednesday’s National Accounts confirmed that Australia’s investment drought is not over. Capital spending by private businesses did rise in the first quarter, but only after a lengthy period of decline. Investment remains at around a 30-year low as a share of the economy.
Our farmers may disagree but, as droughts go, this is about as bad as it gets. Mining investment has dropped over 60 per cent since the 2012 peak, despite recent high commodity prices, but investment outside mining is weak too. As former Treasury Secretary Ken Henry says, business investment usually is this anaemic only during recessions.
We should remember that business investment matters to everyone, not just the firms involved. Prudent investment boosts the economy’s capital stock, allowing more to be produced for less, including higher quality goods. It’s also a key driver of productivity which, last decade, was the weakest in 60 years.
Workers should care because sustainable wages growth depends on generating faster productivity growth, supported by investment. The Productivity Commission found that since Federation, almost all wage gains have come from productivity growth. This means higher living standards for all Australians and more tax revenue for governments, too.
Something has gone seriously wrong, given the external environment has been providing tailwinds. For example, the terms of trade were the highest on record and the cost of finance, until recently, was low. And rates of utilisation of firms’ existing plant and equipment are at record highs. This normally is a trigger to expand capacity.
One interpretation is that, for all our obvious advantages, including our world class rocks underground, Australia has become a more difficult and expensive place to invest. Our tax system already was noncompetitive, particularly for larger companies, yet taxes on business are rising…..”
The village idiot, and unfortunately Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stumbles around Australia unwittingly mimicking his idol and American counterpart, the deranged, kid-sniffing Democrat (Labor) President Joe Biden, who really is a bot according to our US sources.
Surely Albanese has not become a bot too, with an AI malfunction?
Re: “Elbow is getting sucked down the gurgler”
Yeah, there’s a few peeps not happy with his stance on anti semitism and the 50,000+ dead in Ghaza. On the other hand, he’s been pilloried in the media for not supporting Nethanyahu. He’s between a rock and a hard place.
Not to mention that peeps cottoned on to the treachery in the Voice scam which he spent a few hundred million $$$ on.
Re: “I think you all miss the point sports fans, our real mortal enemy in this once great nation of ours are the mid to high level career bureaucrats”
Nope, they’re the pipers. The problem is those who pay them and call their tunes.
You can’t cure disease by addressing just its symptoms. You need to eliminate its cause… in this case the fckrs who pay the pipers.
Business Council of Australia have obviously been sitting around scratching their arses since the last recession because what have they ever achieved, they only woke up for a few seconds because Elbow is getting sucked down the gurgler
Tony B said – “… I think you all miss the point sports fans…”
The Sports Fans aren’t missing the point, the problem here is that there’s way too many sold-out treasonous baby-eating Luciferian targets ducking and weaving and line-dancing and laughing as they swarm the landscape and fart in our general direction while they kill us, too many moving targets to coherently isolate and eliminate in one go.
Just look at Snuff Scotty with his $52 MILLION Genocide Bonus, doing the Kiddy Fiddler Jig down at the localHillsong Temple and laughing in our faces because he knows he’s untouchable, safety in numbers and that’s one thing they have over us by a barrel, the entire edifice of so-called “governance” and “policing” and “regulation” is absolutely INFESTED with these bastards.
Which is why this rolling Globalist BS won’t be over for another ten years, because that’s unfortunately how long it’s going to take the Useless Eaters to collectively wake up and get sufficiently ORGANISED to finally take down every last one of these sold-out treasonous mass-murdering mongrels.
And that’s also why there’s going to be many THOUSANDS of these disgusting arseholes swinging by the neck when the Fat Lady finally sings. Because the penalty for premeditated systematic Mass Murder and War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity and wholesale Genocide and slaughter of innocents and generally just being a pack of low-life craven sadistic insatiably avaricious incorrigibly duplicitous baby-eating BASTARDS is DEATH.

That’s easy to say but look who our miracle-working fake treasurer who has no economics background gets his advice from, none other than Mr. Recession We Had To Have Paul Keating. The politicians can discharge the public servants and repeal laws anytime they want but do they ever. Trump went in and started moving things around in 2017 and the media couldn’t stop screaming “chaotic administration” and shit like that, they still haven’t shut up. The bulk of our politicians are way too spineless to ever achieve anything, look what happens when important addresses are made by Senators Roberts, Babet, Antic, Rennick and a few others, the dogs from Lib/Lab and Greens run out the door according to instructions from their Young Global Leaders.
btw I have total ban on televised sport in place for a long time now, nobody should be vegetating in this day and age, there is too much going on.
I think you all miss the point sports fans, our real mortal enemy in this once great nation of ours are the mid to high level career bureaucrats, IMO eg: all senior judges who dont follow real law nor dispense it, senior law enforcement who IMO are all corrupt and cant be trusted, Bio security, asio, and the likes, these major entities have sold out to money and the WHO, WEF, NATO, and the likes, politicians come and go, the ones that stay as a career path are just as corrupt and bought and paid for lock stock and barrel, But the behind the scenes bureaucrats are our real enemy, you dont see them or know them they operate in the shadows.
CN says: “The debt clock at mid-day 20 Jan 2023 was $ 8,793,694,584,359. Not bad for just 25 Million people in the hands of a corrupt, duopoly system of government. For January 1973 the debt clock was at $458, 231,678,732 with just 13.4 million people. Just the management your family business needs.”
Throw another TRILLION or so on the barbie over the last 12 months! National DEBT CLOCK now reads …. $9,894,207,404,185
That’s around 21 times more than in 1973 when we had just half the population! Do the maths!!!!!
Who’s lapping up the cream? It’s certainly not us! WE’VE HOCKED OURSELVES TO OUR EYEBALLS and we’ve got nothing to show for it before we go out backwards. Just the bankruptcy and debt slavery our family business needs!
Advance Australia Fair….la, la, la…
Everything is going swimmingly in Australia. We’ve never been screwed more and better and harder and so enthusiastically by so few for so long. You name it, they’re dishing it out to us!
Just remember to sign off for the Lab/Lib Uniparty on your way out after you’ve been sheep dipped again.
What else can one say in view of the UNMISTAKEABLE demolition of the Lucky Country, hidden in plain sight right before our very eyes.
Say nothing, do nothing!
She’ll be right, mate. We won’t have much to worry about when the treacherous slime are done with us.
Australia is going down in the most massive clusterfuck imaginable, being savaged from every angle. Perhaps the politicians are fully aware, with their out-the-way me-first snout-in-the-trough attitudes. The US has outclassed us with money printing and printing more interest than we can pay, having given away the resources for kickbacks, cleverly sold the major assets and infrastructure, sent the careers to Asia wherever possible, outsourced all defence for anything bigger than a “Bushmaster” truck which is only useful as target practice for the Russians.
We are hocked to the eyeballs for rubbish medical treatments worst of which were the forced injections. Local businesses like supermarkets are run from out of US fund managers. What do we still make lots of, serums !!! Who wants that shit. Under Lib/Lab things have gone from stoopid to insane.
Unfortunately, Australia is not an attractive place to invest is indeed correct. taxes our out in orbit, business friendliness on your behalf of thee Gov is carrot and stick approach, and is not conducive to long term business modelling, 3 years and that’s it.
I remember recently, the NT premier sold off NT assets to foreigners for a nickel in the dollar, and lined his pockets on his way out via offshore accounts-untraceable so they thought, dumbasses for which he will hang, It reminds me oh Howard selling off Oz gas for what 2 cents a ton of natural gas, what for, to line his pockets on the way out, but had to marry off his daughter to the Banker mob, for which he thought was untraceable-so he thought for which he will hang.
Australia was sold out by Gov going back to the 70’s, by which they thought we would never exposed, called our constitutional law 1901. we have never recovered, and laws have enforced that. Until we take our country back, we will never again have our own manufacturing for stability of we the people, we will never have deterrent security meaning Military forces capable of deterring interlopers, and industry capable of providing for we the people of Australia.
It was just the other day big investment was to come to Oz, until they were informed, and that was that.
We are the richest country in minerals-Hydrocarbons- and human resources, this is our land, and it was traded back in the 70’s to become incorporated, leaving our constitution in the dust. We should not be paying taxes to a foreign corp, our resources are abundant and would pay for our infrastructure, and technological development here in Australia. Iv’e heard the argument that few need more people to pay taxes to this Gov, but no, we don’t need more people to support this Gov, we have the resources to pay for everything, we just need our proper Gov back to manage our resources on our behalf, we need to confiscate back our state assets which my Grandfather and Father and me and you paid for infrastructure wise that the state Gov sold out from the 70’s onwards, and then we can exploit our own assets for us, we the people of Australia, and before that, we need to weed out secret societies-Pedophile and child slavery rings etc, hang em all, and return to the land.
I have 1st hand experience in developing funds for our country, however seems to fall over when they come across big brother.
I think Lt. Col . Bosi has some sound ideology we should be reviewing, and acting on, just a thought, say y’know.
The author asks – “… Has PM Albanese had an AI malfunction?”
No, it’s just morning sickness. He is carrying creepy Bill’s love-child, after all.
And let’s be clear, folks, everything is going swimmingly well, as AnAL and the Kirribilli Bumbandits dismantle Australia in readiness for AnAL and creepy Bill’s baby shower and the Blood Sacrifice of Australia to the Globalists and their Sugar Daddy Satan.
And it won’t stop, folks, until every last one of these low-life treasonous anti-Australian baby-eating Luciferian bastards is dragged out into the streets and administered some accountability through lamp post therapy.
And after a few more years of these treacherous sold-out Satanic arseholes having unfettered freedom to do whatever the Hell they want with absolutely no repercussions whatsoever and everything has just kept getting worse and worse and worse, you’ll understand why.
Sucks to be gluttons for punishment, yet here we are.
