Driving up arguably one of Victoria’s most dangerous roads, a cyclist hit a pothole and lost control. Within a second she was skidding across the bitumen towards my car. This is the story of how I almost killed someone and how it shouldn't have happened heraldsun.com.au/news/opinio…

(1/2) It’s a dark day when a capital city is left with just two mainstream news outlets. Media diversity is crucial and it’s a tragedy to see Channel 9 ending their Darwin bulletin. The NT is worse off every time local journalists are cut.

(2/2) I spent seven years reporting in the Top End at @TheNTNews and working alongside some excellent reporters at @9NewsDarwin. My thoughts are with all of you today ntnews.com.au/news/the-futur…

Sad to announce this is my final day with @TheNTNews. I'm honoured to have worked for such an incredible, news breaking and, of course, hilarious newspaper. Here's the front for my final edition ... could I have really ended my time without a #croc story? #onlyintheNT

So apparently I’m Darwin’s best celebrity baker, as decided at this year’s #RoyalDarwinShow. Who knew?! It was a pretty tasty cake though! See the recipe here. ntnews.com.au/entertainment/… @TheNTNews

Nothing like a bit of #toilethumour to start your day. It's incredible some of the things found in NT sewers ... Territorians really need to know what not to flush! @TheNTNews #onlyintheNT ntnews.com.au/news/northern-…

The tyranny of distance can mean the difference between life and death for young Territorians but fortunately the Cavanagh family had plenty of helping hands for their child Francis. @TheNTNews @HumptyDumpty @RayMartin ntnews.com.au/news/northern-…

Quite disappointed by the lack of #democracysausages available at NT voting booths today tbh. Probably should have checked the list first … #democracy #FederalElection @TheNTNews ntnews.com.au/news/northern-…

This is perhaps my favourite story from the federal election so far ... not sure I'll be opting for budgie smugglers though! #onlyintheNT #FederalElection @TheNTNews ntnews.com.au/news/northern-…

Unless vaccine mandates change, the #GleNTi could become a very different event as 200 unvaccinated volunteers will be unable to staff the festival. @TheNTNews ntnews.com.au/news/northern-…
The NT is trying to to attract international investment, to get rid of its 'wild outback' stereotype. The Chief Minister having a #mullet destroys this attempt for the Territory to be taken seriously. It's got to go. My #opinion for @TheNTNews ntnews.com.au/news/opinion/c…
#BREAKING Police officer Zach Rolfe has been found not guilty of all charges, including the murder of Aboriginal teenager Kumanjayi Walker in Yuendumu in 2019 Story: @jas_walls for @TheNTNews ntnews.com.au/news/northern-…
