THE Territory's only federal minister has refused to take part in a debate about a nuclear waste dump in the NT, the green group organising the forum said.

Community Services Minister Nigel Scullion (pictured) has rejected an invitation by the Environment Centre of the NT (ECNT) to attend a senate candidate forum with NT Labor Senator Trish Crossin to answer questions about the proposal. A spokeswoman for Senator Scullion said they didn't believe the ECNT would run ``a fair and balanced debate''
