The English-only NT parliament is undermining healthy democracy by excluding Aboriginal languages

"42% of NT residents speak a non-English language at home. Only half of eligible Aboriginal residents in the NT are enrolled to vote, and voter participation is even lower. Recognition – Rejecting someone’s language means rejecting their identity. Reconciliation is not just something parliamentarians should direct others to do, it’s something that needs to happen within parliament itself."

"The NT is a rich, multilingual society. How can the Legislative Assembly claim to fully represent the breadth of NT society when it chooses to be monolingual?"

ABC News · NT parliament passes CLP government's territory coordinator billBy Jack Hislop

Good news story:

'A Central Australian football program that has changed lives with a tiny budget is set to receive an extraordinary $57 million donation from Brisbane-based construction magnates.

'The Redtails Pinktails Right Tracks Foundation, now a registered charity organisation after previously being known as Central Australian Football Club, had run for 14 years on the sniff of “an oily rag” until this donation, founder and president Rob Clarke said.

'The program aims to mentor and help marginalised young people in Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and remote communities gain employment and become community leaders, while also presenting a football pathway to play in the Northern Territory and South Australian leagues.'

The Age · ‘He goes, ‘I’m going to give you $57 million’. I think I swore’: The donation that shocked a foundationBy Marc McGowan
I just mastered Windows kernel debugging and learned how to dig globally all environment data from EPROCESS globally in the system using WinDbg :-)

It can side-effect free (except slowing down) to intervene process creation of NT kernel. I'll post the script as I test it more.

Victory in debugging after two weeks. Now I have at least proper weapons to nail the build issue in PolkaVM guest programs.

The most important skill to write e.g. Windows drivers for what is worth but also do global system tracing.

I tried all other methods but they all suck in some way.

As much I dislike Windows I have to admit that this brings me weird satisfaction ;-)

I've not been leaping out of bed on Saturday mornings recently, and rather enjoying it, but in earlier years I photographed quite of parkruns.

That is I made an effort to document the first instance - the start - of some of our relatively local parkruns, and otherwise tried to catch runs that were nearby if I was travelling, and special events and anniversaries of our local ones.

Here's a picture from 2014, at the start of the Killerton #parkrun, on a #NT property near #Exeter #photography

@bazkie @denny I would like to see studies exploring the underlying reasons more broadly, because I believe there are still no sure grounds on this owl and lark concepts. In my opinion this lark behavior also conforms to the [capitalistic?] idea of efficiency, and I so tend to believe that "larks" are more "societally conforming" people - would be interesting to know the distribution of "#ND|s" and "#NT|s" in both groups!
