N2 - This article offers two levels of interpretation of the Country Liberals win in the 2012 election for the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. Both focus on Aboriginal votes in remote areas, which moved away from Labor in significant numbers compared to past elections. One level of interpretation focuses on events and personalities of the last five years. The second level of interpretation builds on arguments about Aboriginal votes and candidates made in the 1980s by Peter Loveday.
