NT Electoral Commissioner Iain Loganathan announced the proposed redistributions yesterday, which see deputy opposition leader Lia Finocchiaro’s electorate of Spillett contract towards Palmerston. Mr Parish, who was the Labor member for Millner from 1991 to 1994, said moving the Coconut Grove voters into Johnston and Nightcliff electorates would likely undermine Mr Gunner’s support base. But Mr Parish said the bad news for Mr Gunner would boost the fortunes of AttorneyGeneral Natasha Fyles and would sin bin the former Resources Minister, Ken Vowles. “I would think both Ken Vowles and Natasha Fyles would be quite happy about that because there’s large amounts of housing commissions through Coconut Grove which are traditionally fairly solid

Labor,” Mr Parish said. “So moving that out of Fannie Bay will help them and conversely probably not help Michael Gunner, which might make Ken Vowles quietly very happy.” Mr Parish also predicted the planned redistributions would hit government backbencher Chansey Paech, whose seat of Namatjira will gain voters from Araluen and Braitling. “Adding on urban Alice Springs, bits from Araluen and Braitling, is likely to make it significantly harder for Chansey Paech to retain that seat,” he said. “It’s reasonable to hypothe- sise that the people of urban Alice Springs are as unhappy about the Gunner government as the people in Darwin are.” Meanwhile, Alice Springs mayor Damien Ryan labelled the proposed redistribution “disappointing”. “It’s time that he NT Electoral Commission recognised the Alice Springs community and brought back the seat that was taken away at the last election,” he said. 2019 CROC CAPTURES www.ntgovau/becrocwise 0 990 3 Industry divided

Inset, the service’s initial delivery area for Darwin Picture: KERI MEGELUS HUNGRY Darwinites are celebrating the news that Uber Eats is coming to the NT capital – but local business owners aren’t so happy. Uber Eats NT manager Elisa Janiec confirmed the popular food delivery service would start serving Darwin customers in early July. People in the Darwin CBD and the surrounding suburbs will be able to order in,

but those living past the Berrimah Line aren’t so lucky. Jason Hanna, who owns venues including Deck Bar and Chow, took to Facebook to vent his frustration. “I’m taking bets on who will be the first Muppet to sign up to this,” he said. “Personally I want to meet any operator of a Darwin food business that can afford to give 30-35 per cent of the bill to Uber so I can congratulate them for being a f*ing legend.” Chamber of Commerce NT chief executive Greg Bicknell cautiously welcomed the announcement. “Anything that can serve benefit to the restaurant trade here is very welcome,” he said. “As long as we don’t see less bottoms on seats in restaurants.” Mr Bicknell said if the Man survives cliff fall Revved up for NATS A MAN has fallen between six and eight metres down a cliff in Dundee, suffering serious injuries, after a night of socialising with mates. Police received a report from those at the scene at 2am yesterday that the 34-year-old man had fallen down the

cliff. St John Ambulance paramedics travelled more than 100km to the popular fishing village to rescue and treat the man. RED CentreNATS, Australia’s ultimate festival of wheels, is shifting into top gear for its 2019 instalment with a jampacked program released to the public today. The popular event is in its fifth year and will see thousands of car enthusiasts converge on Alice Springs from August 30 to September 1, for an actionpacked weekend of drag racing, street cruising, burnouts, live music and much more. Once the man was stabilised paramedics, police officers and bystanders carried him half a kilometre along the beach and up the cliff face. A police spokeswoman said the man had been socialising with friends when he fell into a rocky hole. Under the care of paramedics, he was taken to Royal Darwin Hospital suffering a suspected broken jaw, chest and back injuries. Rescue efforts at Dundee Braitling MLA Dale Wakefield said the Red CentreNATS made an important contribution

to tourism and jobs. “The Government’s additional $62.8 million TURBO2 tourism investment includes $20 million to support our festivals, major events and experiences recognising the role they play in cementing the Territory’s reputation as a vibrant place to live, work and visit,” Ms Wakefield said. service simply encouraged Darwinites to stay home and order in rather than visiting physical restaurants, it would have a negative impact on local businesses. However, Ms Janiec remained optimistic – telling the NT News it was an opportunity for Darwin businesses to attract more customers. Ms Janiec said Uber had received “overwhelming support” since it launched in Darwin in August. “We’re expecting similar levels of support with Uber Eats,” she said Ms Janiec said this week, Darwin Uber users would be sent a survey that would allow them to vote on which restaurants they’d like to see using the app. Based on those results, Ms Janiec said the Uber Eats team would start

speaking with local businesses to see if they would be keen to sign up. Ms Janiec remained tightlipped about the payment arrangements with restaurateurs. “Each commercial arrangement is confidential,” she said. Parap resident Maddie Harding is excited about Uber Eats coming to the NT. “I’ve been waiting years and years for this,” she said. “It might make my weekends easier.” Tymara Murnik and Zoe Lang NTNE01Z01MA - V1
