I had a look at the summary of the Senate Enquiry into the Andrews Bill  
it struck me that they took into account wide ranging points of view -
in short they were well informed.  As for being short sighted they took
into account also the possible long term effects of such a legislation.

If it was a selfish choice there must be a way to for them to obtain
a personal or collective benefit from voting the NT legislation down.
Would you be so kind to inform us what this might be.
