For me it is a about helping to preserve some history and historic buildings, and also the many unique and interesting areas under management. The transactional aspect, what you get for your money, helps to justify the expenditure of course.
I've never been interested in the politics of it or even aware in general, but when a rich .man who funds and chairs lobby groups that provide funding to MPs to further their aims in relation to economic policy and climate change denial sets up and funds a campaign to place half a dozen people at a time on the NT council, I think he's likely up to something he hasn't fully explained. If he's not happy, as a member, he should get himself nominated and elected and go from there.
I don't like the way he has gone about it and when I look at what he wants I don't like that either. Quite what's in it for him and his backers I don't know, but there is a common thread of "anti-wokery" between this and some of the overtly political influencing coming from the same place. E.g. I don't think Braverman writes her own scripts although she was probably ad libbing when she so ludicrously went off on one about the Guardian reading, tofu eating wokerati a couple of weeks ago.
