I get this page from a brewery by searching for "handles of beer"
with Duck Duck Go, which contradicts the "425-450mL" range given
in your AI answer ans disputes that it's the same as a schooner
in the NT:

https://stoneandwood.com.au/blogs/all/our-guide-to-australias-beer-sizes-and-names

"The Northern Territory's beer sizes
 
 The Northern Territory's more tropical weather makes larger sizes 
 slightly less popular to the average drinker, as they go warm quick 
 if not enjoyed fast enough.
 
 Ask for a handle of beer if you're after a 285mL, smaller beer to 
 enjoy (although middy or pot are generally accepted too). These may 
 come with a handle, so you don't warm the beer too quickly holding 
 it in your hand.
 
 Schooners are the same as most other regions of Australia, coming 
 in at 425mL. Pints and jugs are also the same at 570mL and 1,140mL."
