Some personal news:
Excited to have finished my first week at my new home in Darwin with the ABC as a reporter. Even more excited for the adventures in and incredible stories here. Not a bad view just a few minutes walk from my place either 😎

@TomSangsterSC @SuperCoachNRL @BenHorne8 Has a club ever publicly and clearly bagged a signing? Surely rare, if ever. The whole preseason chat and preview stuff ends up being pretty mid on insight. Proof will come when footy is being played properly

@Evan_M_G Please do another one like this for ALiga 2025/26

You have to admire the reinvention of this squad. A year or so ago it looked completely different and far less exciting

@vidya_kathir Geez that’s a bit late!

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

@vidya_kathir Did you find out???

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

@VinceRugari Overall I think he did well with the players at his disposal, but the 2022 World Cup would have been the ideal exit point. Asian Cup this year was a disaster and the qualifiers have been insipid.

@AntonyGreenElec And Natasha Fyles' predecessor Michael Gunner (who did retire before the election but was Chief in the last term of govt) seat, Fannie Bay, also fell! I wonder has that ever happened?

3. Footage showing Billy Walter’s reacting to the incident and it becoming clear he would be able to give evidence regarding what Leniu now admits he said. You’d hope the NRL judiciary takes all three into account when sentencing Leniu and the timing of this guilty plea.

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

Three things that emerged before the Roosters or Spencer Leniu apologised.
1. Leniu said he had “nothing” to worry about described the on-field incident as fun and games.
2. Trent Robinson suggested “Just because he (Ezra Mam) was adamant, doesn’t mean he is right.”

@AttardMon One of the best matches I’ve seen at the open ever

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

Was that one of the greatest matches ever played at the Australian Open? Rybakina and Blinkova take a bow. Just spellbinding #AusOpen

Manison quits cabinet after her second attempt to become CM falls short. Next NT election in August 2024.

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

And here it is. Eva Lawler to be the next Chief Minister. a rank and file vote avoided. Left faction’s Chansey Paech to be deputy. I understand from multiple sources he did this without the left unions blessing. That may have annoyed a few to say the least. #NTPol

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

If she missed out again I wouldn’t be surprised if she left cabinet. The usual caveats apply, much can change. The factional left/right divide is now 6 each and two MLA’s are unaligned. So no faction dominates the vote. Lawler ticket I understand is her with Paech. #NTPol

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

Late last night Eva Lawler had the majority of support, only three MLA’s had held off backing her. Nicole Manison being one of them. What’s interesting (in my opinion) is that Manison twice now has struggles to get her own faction on board when going for the leadership. #NTPol

[Jake M W @JakeMarcusW]

Any word if Bowden is formally throwing his hat in the ring for Chief? @MylesWalk #ntpol

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

Other potential candidate and (predicted) front runner Nicole Manison still in Bali and due back tomorrow, I’ve been in told. Formal vote (if it is needed will take place on Thursday). As always politics is a moveable feast this could all change.

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

#NTPols Following the expected resignation of CM Natasha Fyles. I’m Hearing Joel Bowden will have a tilt to be next leader of NT. Caucus is meeting now. It would be fairly extraordinary given the former AFL and Richmond Tigers defender only joined cabinet a few months ago.

[Myles Houlbrook-Walk @MylesWalk]

For some reason @abcsport stream won’t work in Japan, yet other stations working just fine. Gutted I can’t hear the sultry tones of Jim Maxwell to begin the summer of cricket :(

Really honoured to pick up the sport and radio awards last night at the NT Media Awards. Major thanks to the crew at Hack and ABC News who allowed me to take time to work on some of these stories. I have since cut the mullet for all those concerned (my mum)

[Walkley Foundation @walkleys]

🏆We now move to the award for the best sports story in any medium… and @ABCaustralia @MylesWalk has snagged his second award of the night. Gooooal! 🥅
