Roof collapse at Royal Darwin hospital amid heavy rain

Roofing at the Royal Darwin hospital partially collapsed on Saturday but no one was hurt.

Steve Edgington, a member of the Northern Territory legislative assembly, shared an image of the collapsed roofing and bricks strewn on the first floor of the hospital.

He said he was reassured all staff and patients are safe, with NT police incident controller Emma Carter confirming on ABC Radio Darwin that no one was hurt.

Sloane said while it was only in the “final couple of days” she made the decision, now that she is in the job she is “committed”:

It was a friendly chat with Mark. It was a hard chat, but it was a very friendly one. And then when I’m in, I’m in 100%. I think what a lot of people would do in my position is weigh up the pros and cons and think of all the reasons that I shouldn’t do it, but at the end of the day, the reasons I should outweighed those, and I’ll be a committed leader. I’m very clear eyed once I’ve made up my mind.
