A new political party representing Aboriginal people in Australia has been given the green light to run in the Northern Territory election.
The Australian Electoral Commission officially registered the First Nations political party earlier this year, but that only gave the party the right to stand in federal elections.
Now it has applied successfully to the Northern Territory Electoral Commission for registration.
Party president Japarta Ryan says Labor and the Country Liberals have failed Aboriginal people, who make up about a quarter of the territory's population.
