The countdown will run for 10 days ending on Friday, December 21.

Today we start with numbers 101-120 and even some of these lower on The List will get a few tongues wagging.

Under siege Tourism Minister Lauren Moss — who was recently criticised for missing the Brolga Awards for a friend’s weddding — was No.120 last year.

Where will she be on The List this year ... or will she even make it all?

Tourism Minister Lauren Moss was No.120 on our Most Powerful list last year ... will she even make it this year?

The coveted No. 1 position was last year taken by Chief Minister Michael Gunner’s chief of staff, Alf Leonardi. But will he drop down The List this year — and, if so, how far?

Mr Gunner was No. 3 last year but his government has been copping it left, right and centre over the past 12 months on a range of issues — none more so than the state of the economy.

There are some big names who will make The List for the first time but there will be some big shocks as plenty of names on last year’s list don’t make the cut this time around.

NT News editor Matt Williams said The List was a great talking point.

“Our most powerful list is a great guide for people to know who the real movers and shakers are in the Territory,” he said.
