NT parliament passes CLP government's territory coordinator bill
The Northern Territory government has passed the territory coordinator bill through parliament, giving it the power to override dozens of regulatory laws relevant to projects of "economic significance".

The English-only NT parliament is undermining healthy democracy by excluding Aboriginal languages

"42% of NT residents speak a non-English language at home. Only half of eligible Aboriginal residents in the NT are enrolled to vote, and voter participation is even lower. Recognition – Rejecting someone’s language means rejecting their identity. Reconciliation is not just something parliamentarians should direct others to do, it’s something that needs to happen within parliament itself."

"The NT is a rich, multilingual society. How can the Legislative Assembly claim to fully represent the breadth of NT society when it chooses to be monolingual?"

#Wealth and #education to be a determinant factor in #crime and #incarceration statistics. Well, blow me down. /sarc/

Here is an endorsment for the ‘separation of powers’ enjoyed in this country in full display. The lecture delivered by the #NT judge speaking truth to power.

Good news story:

'A Central Australian football program that has changed lives with a tiny budget is set to receive an extraordinary $57 million donation from Brisbane-based construction magnates.

'The Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Foundation, now a registered charity organisation after previously being known as Central Australian Football Club, had run for 14 years on the sniff of “an oily rag” until this donation, founder and president Rob Clarke said.

'The program aims to mentor and help marginalised young people in Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and remote communities gain employment and become community leaders, while also presenting a football pathway to play in the Northern Territory and South Australian leagues.'

Dear National Trust members, this is your annual reminder to vote in the upcoming AGM. The "anti woke" Restore Trust, who are backed by The Tory Common Sense group are again listing 6 candidates. Although NT membership is over 5 million, only 0.5% actually vote. Restore Trust has a very active membership so don't let apathy give them a beach head for their anti woke vision. You can use the quick vote button to vote for NT preferred candidates. Voting closes 25th October. Please boost.

[Windows] NT was initially developed not on x86 chips but a new Intel architecture called the i860 – codenamed N-Ten or NT for short.
...
As Cutler and his team discovered, though, while the #i860 could be a fast and efficient graphics processor, it was a three-legged dog for multitasking operating systems like NT. #Intel expected its dominance to see a bad system through enough iterations for the market to both help to fix things in software and be won over.
...
#Microsoft dutifully ported its core #Windows #NT server code to #Itanium to find it too was a three-legged dog, only perhaps with not quite so many legs and laughable backwards compatibility. Never mind, thought Intel, the market will wait for a few iterations, help build the code base, and be won over.
Meanwhile, AMD sidled up to Microsoft and asked if it was interested in 64-bit extensions to IA-32. Ones with a full complement in the legs department and total compatibility. Cutler and co. signed up on the spot. The result was so successful that Intel was forced to adopt its rival's innovation and let Itanium sink without trace.
A great concise blow-by-blow of how Intel's lack of vision and failure to successfully innovate caused it to lose its dominance in the PC market.

My goodness!

This was the view from this morning, fully equipped with a gorgeous #sunrise at the top (warm!!) part of our huge continent, in the #NorthernTerritory.

Specifically #Darwin, #Australia.

This pic was shot by my sister, who is on holidays with hubbby, taking in the sights and sounds of this beautiful part of the world.

Temp in Darwin today; 25 degrees Celsius (77F)… in mid-winter.

Forecast for Sunday; 33C (93F).

🙌🔥
