It has a two-tiered political system with both a territory and a local government level. The Administrator of the Northern Territory, appointed by the Governor-General of Australia, fulfils functions widely similar to that of a Governor. The Head of Government of the territory is the Chief Minister, who is appointed by the Administrator. The Northern Territory’s Parliament consists only of the Lower House, the Legislative Assembly. The Australian Parliament has powers to legislate in territories but has granted the Northern Territory and the ACT the right to self-government.
