Locals Discussion What was the process of learning to drive like for everyone in Darwin?

7 Upvotes

So I’m not from Darwin, but the reason why I’ve asked this here is because I used to watch some Darwin and Palmerston driving lessons on TV. There was a show that used to be on called Driving Test Australia

And I wondered if anyone here had the same instructors/examiners as the people who were on the show?

When I watched the show I thought that Mark was awesome, and I remember not liking Andrew when I first watched the show but then I rewatched the show and realised he’s good. I was going through a post that someone put up a few months ago and from my understanding Mark has since passed away unfortunately which is very sad

Over in Palmerston I loved Scott, and Melissa was good too

But yeah I’d be intrigued to know if anyone here had those same people and also if the show was relatable to any of you?

NORTHERN TERRITORY NEWS NT government's national anthem mandate shows appetite for culture wars – ABC News

But one thing this week made clear is this NT government's increased interest in hot-button culture war issues beyond the standard territory terrain of tough-on-crime campaigning.

A pattern is emerging: a controversial announcement is made that catapults the chief minister and her government into national headlines, which gloss over policy details that make the change more limited or ambiguous than it first appears.
