Description

This is Greg Thomson.

Greg is the General Manager of the NT News.

One of three brothers, Greg grew up in Nhulunbuy on the eastern coast of the Northern Territory.

Following high school, Greg became a cadet journalist at the NT Newspaper. His career has taken him from Darwin to Perth, and Hong Kong to Alice Springs.

He tells some great yarns including the story of his family driving from Nhulunbuy to Sydney and crossing the crocodile infested Goyder River and the windscreen of the car being underwater. He was also in the room when the infamous CLP politician, ’Mad’ Max Ortmann, strangled an ABC reporter, Jeremy Thompson, with a microphone cord.

Greg is passionate about the Territory and its future. You can hear his story on the next episode of Territory Story.
