Description
A delegation of hundreds of doctors has converged on Canberra to protest fossil fuel projects in the Northern Territory which may have significant health risks for Darwin locals.

But the Northern Territory Chief Minister Natasha Fyles says the economic gains from the project will allow the territory to transition to renewables in the future.
