NT: Kingmaker takes time out

One of the Northern Territory's kingmakers has gone bush .. to consider whether he'll
support a no-confidence motion in the embattled government.

GERRY WOOD has admitted he's been offered the planning portfolio in a Country Liberals
government .. but says he won't accept a ministry from either party.

The independent member for Nelson and Labor turncoat ALISON ANDERSON hold the balance
of power in the NT's Legislative Assembly .. and their votes could trigger an election.

The NT News says Opposition Leader TERRY MILLS has also offered Ms ANDERSON the indigenous
affairs ministry ... she's told the paper she hasn't made a decision.
