appointing the former general manager of INPEX as the interim Territory Coordinator for the NT is a questionable decision. INPEX has a reputation for minimizing its tax contributions, and now the NT government is allowing a former executive to have the authority to exempt gas projects from environmental regulations.

I understand your concerns regarding the appointment of the former INPEX general manager as the NT interim Territory Coordinator. It raises significant questions about the potential conflicts of interest and the influence of corporate interests on environmental regulations. Many people are worried that this could lead to further leniency towards gas projects that may harm the environment, especially considering INPEX’s tax history. It’s crucial for the government to prioritize sustainable practices and ensure that regulatory decisions are made transparently and in the best interest of the community and the environment. What alternative solutions do you think the government should consider to ensure accountability and protect the environment?
