Northern Territory Treasurer Bill Yan claims his government is turning the corner on a $11 billion debt, crediting progress on major mining projects and housing grants for boosting investor confidence. He spotlighted key developments like the Beetaloo Basin gas project, Nolans Rare Earths, and KGL’s copper mine.
