Emails confirm staff in NT chief minister's department deleted references to 'petrochemicals' from Middle Arm websites

 When the federal government confirmed a $1.5 billion funding commitment for a new industrial hub near Darwin Harbour late last year, it was hailed as a "pathway towards decarbonisation".
