An independent politician has raised human rights concerns with the United Nations over "terrible" jail conditions in the Northern Territory. More than 400 people have been locked up since the Country Liberal Party won the NT election in August, with a record 2,658 people now held in correctional facilities. The NT government says measures including mass transfers of prisoners and repurposing of correctional facilities will soon alleviate overcrowding.
