Natasha Fyles has resigned as Northern Territory chief minister after failing to disclose her shareholdings in a mining company . Natasha Fyles , who will step down as the chief minister on Thursday, today told journalists that it was an "error" that she failed to declare shares in a company called South32. after the NT Independent reported she owned undisclosed shares in the company which owns a manganese mine on Groote Eylandt. "It was not intentional, but it's unacceptable.
"I can assure Territorians that no decision I've ever made has been influenced by that small shareholding but high standards are expected from people holding high office as they should be." Natasha Fyles, who resigned as NT's chief minister this afternoon, said the "honorable course of action" was for her to step down following mounting pressure over undisclosed shares. "I care too much about our government and what it's achieved to allow my personal mistake to impact on our progress." Ms Fyles did not take any questions, reading from a pre-prepared speech at NT Parliament House toda
