9 December 1996
Media coverage over 2 nights, 9 and 10 December 1996. A snapshot of the types of media coverage back when Channel 8 (9), ABC, Imparja, and Channel 7 provided a local news service.Over these two nights major issues around the Larrakeyah Land Claim over Darwin, occupation of Lee Point, and coverage of Andrew's Private Members Bill concerning euthanasia in the Commonwealth Parliament. All politics is local and so it was a milestone when Chief Minister Shane Stone took time out as the Member for Port Darwin to turn on the promised new lights in his electorate - a promise that dated from when he was first elected. Also featuring ABC Newsreader Rosemary Church who was recruited to CNN based in Atlanta, USA.
