Territory Labor has chosen Yiwarr McGrath, a Yolŋu registered nurse and 2021 NT Young Australian of the Year, to run in the high-stakes Mulka by-election. Stepping in to replace Yiŋiya Guyula—who quit after a decade citing political misalignment—McGrath brings frontline healthcare experience and deep roots in Elcho Island. With the vote set for September 12th, he’s rallying to expand access to care and hold government accountable, seeing this as his chance to merge his medical expertise with politics. A win would give Labor six seats in parliament and reclaim a historic stronghold, while the Country Liberal Party remains undecided on running a candidate—making this a pivotal moment for north-east Arnhem Land.
