NT politician's false claims about Earth's magnetic poles and groundwater criticised

Northern Territory minister Robyn Cahill made scientifically unfounded claims that the NT must increase groundwater usage to prevent Earth's magnetic poles from flipping, while promoting the territory as a global datacentre hub. Experts have criticized the minister for presenting inaccurate scientific information to support the government's groundwater development agenda.
