The campaign would enter its final weeks, with the leaders pushing their policies. Terry Mills would be out visiting pubs in Alice Springs whereas Clare Martin would be rallying the supporters in Darwin. Clare Martin would commit to a $100 million expansion to the NT's health system, whereas Terry Mills would promise to expand the Port of Darwin to facilitate more trade with Asia.
