Paul Henderson, the Labor Chief Minister of the Northern Territory, has called an early election for 9 August.
I’m not sure there’ll be a lot of commentary on LP about the campaign, because I don’t think any of us are well placed to blog it - not being Territorians. If there is anyone out there who’d like to contribute some guest posts, please let me know.
It will be interesting to see if it’s discussed in terms of federal implications - and if the intervention becomes an issue. No doubt we’ll have something to say about that.
In the meantime, Troppo Territorian Jacques Chester has a post up, as does The Poll Bludger. And Antony Green had a feeling it was going to happen.
