NT: Independent Scrymgour to rejoin NT Labor - Henderson

Northern Territory Chief Minister PAUL HENDERSON appears to have held on to government
in the Northern Territory .. after former party deserter MARION SCRYMGOUR returned to
Labor.

Her move came just in time .. after former indigenous affairs minister ALISON ANDERSON
resigned from the Labor party yesterday .. accusing Mr HENDERSON of racial politics.

Her resignation meant Labor had only 11 of the 25 seats in parliament .. the same as
the opposition Country Liberals .. until Ms SCRYMGOUR's turn-around.
