- GOLD PLATES SHINE The 2021 Gold Plate Awards were a celebration of the NT’s hospitality industry’s strength, diversity and resilience all to a tropical backdrop with uninterrupted sunset views – it was amazing. The menu was a South-east Asian feast designed and created by three well-known Darwin chefs, Jimmy Shu from Hanuman Darwin, Madusha Olupathage...Read more
- CHINA BECKONS It’s a sign of respect. Remember that undoing the top button of your shirt, even on a hot day, is considered impolite by older Chinese, although rolling up your t-shirt to expose your midriff is commonplace. And in China’s classless society class is everything, so make sure you find out who’s who in the pecking order. These are...Read more
- TIME TO SPEND BIG ON NEW-AGE TECH That became obvious to me in 2018. At the time we were standing in a giant exhibition hall staring at a small stud wall, forming part of a reasonably sized expo booth. I could see the yellow pine timber frame just fine.

Primary Industry
- BEEF REPORT INDONEDIA SLAUGHTER STEERS $4.75KG LIVEWEIGHT (RP10,400 = $1AUD) Slaughter steer prices remained steady while demand from butchers was weak leading to a continuation of the build-up of overfat cattle in the feedlots. Slaughter price reports ranged from a high of Rp52,000kg live for the best steers in Java to Rp47,500 in Lampung. Fat cow...Read more

- SUNBUILD TO CARRY ON SHINING But they aren’t leaving just yet.

In the meantime, they are setting up a management board to run the company. Neil will be chairman. His sons, Chris and Lindsay, will...Read more

Travel
- VOUCHERS HELP YOU HOLIDAY AT HOME Tourism has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and recent hot spot lockdowns. But the Territory Government’s Tourism Vouchers have helped ease the pain – and in many cases, been the difference between staying open or closed. Peter Hook of Kakadu Tourism says the vouchers are a “lifeline” for tourism. He said Crocodile Hotel...Read more

- PERFECTLY PLACED As a regional jurisdiction, the experience of the Northern Territory supply chain is often underestimated.
