The NT News’ 120 Most Powerful: Numbers 80-71

‘I’M LIVING in the 70s!’ Skyhooks sang it. But these 10 NT movers and shakers are doing it. They come in at numbers 71 to 80 on our Most Powerful list today

There’s sure to be some talk about our decision to place Gary Higgins and Lia Finnochiaro — or, the alternative NT government, as they’re otherwise known — bumping around at 75 and 76. Picture: Justin Kennedy

‘I’M LIVING in the 70s!’ Skyhooks sang it. But these 10 NT movers and shakers are doing it. They come in at numbers 71 to 80 on our Most Powerful list this year.

What do you think of our list so far?

We’re considering beefing up security at our offices as some people start to realise that they may not have made The 120 as we get closer and closer to No. 1.

Everybody says they don’t care if they’re on the list or not, but our phones are running hot as the rich and infamous get their secretaries to phone and plead for them to be included.

Our first 40 selections have caused a fair bit of controversy already .... and it’s only going to get juicier as we count down. Just watch.

And you’ll only find the list, exc­lusively, on the NT News website, ntnews.com.au, which counts down from numbers 80-71 today.

Just click on each picture in our interactive graphic below to find out a bit more about our list makers and why we’ve placed them where we have.

What did you think of our choices today?

There’s sure to be some talk about our decision to place Gary Higgins and Lia Finnochiaro — or, the alternative NT government, as they’re otherwise known — as low as 75-76.

Relegated to near oblivion after the recent election, the last two remaining CLP members certainly have their work ahead of them to move up the list and stay relevant

THE 120 LIST >> OUR MOST POWERFUL: NUMBERS 120-111

THE 120 LIST >> OUR MOST POWERFUL: NUMBERS 110-101

THE 120 LIST >> OUR MOST POWERFUL: NUMBERS 100-91

THE 120 LIST >> OUR MOST POWERFUL: NUMBERS 90-81

And what did you think of our selections on Wednesday?

There’s been plenty of discussion about jailed travel agent Xana Kamitsis appearing at Number 90.

We think she deserves to be on the list because almost a year after being sent to prison there are still matters before the courts which she was intimately involved in. No pun intended.

Anyway, let us know what you think of our choices in the comment section below.

Make sure you keep up with our list as we count it down here, only at the ntnews.com.au

And just remember, you’ll have nothing to gossip about if you’re not reading it.
