After a successful career in journalism, McCarthy decided to enter the bear pit of politics, running as a territory Labor candidate for the seat of Arnhem in the Northern Territory.

She would end up fighting for her own side of politics to prevent the expansion of the controversial McArthur River Mine on her Country.

The fight would ultimately see her cross the floor against the Clare Martin government's rushed legislation, which would overrule the Supreme Court's ruling that had prevented the mine's expansion.
