Some schools have been closed and a 48 hour fire ban is in place across the state.

Northern Territory police are defending their actions after the family of a teenager, shot dead by police on Saturday night, wasn't told of his death until the following morning. The ABC understands Kumanjayi Walker died around 9pm, after police fired three shots during an attempt to arrest him. Authorities say Mr Walker was wanted over breaches² to a community corrections order.
