I’ve also noted that he is in the Territory’s top job and thus well-placed to do something about it.

Let’s watch closely and see if anything happens.

Previous Govts of the Nt had credibility and power, but this lot can't even set up a simple fishing licence scheme let alone responsibly handle a $4billion budget.<br />Shame!!!

I think not. He is too busy protecting his backside and back stabbing to make any major decision. The CM will talk the talk but there is no way he will walk the talk. I'll bare my backside in Mitchell Street if Henderson has the poltical balls to do what we all know needs to be done. That decision requires a spine and that is something Henderson has so clearly lacked since birth. Paul Henderson actually do something? I think not.
