Population of the Northern Territory is 255,000; number of MPs in NT parliament 25 – population of Central Coast is 351,000; number of councillors 15.
It appears once again Central Coast residents will be disadvantaged when the 15 Councillors are reduced to nine as a result of an ill-informed, undebated, unnecessary referendum as promoted by a Liberal National Party appointed administrator.
I do not recall, in the lead up to the referendum vote, that Coast Community News, ever published or articulated a for or against facts forum, to allow voters to make an informed decision.
This is another atrocious result for the residents in the northern Central Coast.
