In local news, Darwin has just finalised a $10million project to make the city smarter with Chinese inspired surveillance technologies.
The project rolled out 900 LED lights, 24 environmental sensors, parking sensors, free wifi and a network of 183 new cctv cameras throughout the Darwin CBD.
Lord Mayor of Darwin, Kon Vatskalis said technologies would help people feel safer and create a new opportunity for business in the city but privacy experts question the appropriateness and have privacy concerns.
