The Senate, the Alice Springs News and Centrecorp – a “multitude of factual errors and distortions”

June 29, 2009 – 4:41 pm

As the Alice Springs News says: “a dossier of Alice Springs News reports was a substantial part of the briefing NT Senator Nigel Scullion gave Senator Brandis.”

  • About Bob Gosford

    I live in the small township of Yuendumu, 300 kilometres north-west of Alice Springs on the southern fringes of the Tanami Desert on land owned by people of the Warlpiri and Anmatyerre language groups.

    Here I want to write about politics, law and life in the Northern Territory – looking back over my shoulder every now and then to remind myself and you, dear reader, of what has passed before, so that we might not forget lessons already learned.
