Darwin's biggest short-stay shelter, YiSSA, shut its doors on Sunday, the ABC reported, after the Northern Territory's Country Liberal Party government turned down a Commonwealth offer to keep it running. Hundreds of residents, most of them Aboriginal, have been told to move to a new site at Batchelor, about 100 kilometres south of the city.
