Ron kicked off his tour in Darwin with three distinct events focused on energy, innovation, and human progress.

Ron joined an exclusive discussion on how energy companies can partner with Indigenous businesses to unlock the vast potential of the Beetaloo Basin. This region holds great promise, and Ron emphasized how sustainable energy development can drive economic growth for Indigenous communities across the Northern Territory.
