Terry’s release a mystery

A FEW Territory scribblers were left scratching their heads at one particular quote in a press release from Territory Alliance leader

Terry Mills this week, announcing his party’s agriculture policies. “World class research and development will inform the choices we will make as a government to provide targeted and be developed to drive the necessary to ensure,” the sentence read. Right, clear as mud then.

Sorry state of affairs

THERE are some tough times ahead for those down south as the second wave of coronavirus takes hold. For those in the NT, however, it seems a little confusing. One Top Ender was overheard in a coffee shop suggesting “they’ve locked down the state of Sydney”. Maybe we should be teaching more geography in Territory schools?

Ciarran’s tactical blunder

THE Gunner government’s mantra of being “open and transparent” was not so successfully used by one of the Top End’s very own reality TV stars while explaining his behaviour to his ex-girlfriend and fellow Darwinite in Bachelor in Paradise this week. Ciarran

Stott must have taken note of the Labor politicians’ attempts to deflect attention away from the real issues at hand by sliding in the saying during a one-on-one powwow with ex Renee Barrett. However, Stott was unable to avoid the ire of Barrett and the conversation ended in tears.

Singer’s plea right on cue

AFTER a few hours, the attendees of the Darwin Cup Carnival Ladies Day became less focused on the glamorous event and more on kicking off their heels and scouting where the next bottle of champagne was. As the live entertainment took a moment’s break, one of the singers cooed to the crowd: “Stay beautiful, stay cool, stay here.” Luckily, their tunes were smooth, because the ladies listened and ran to the dancefloor when the next set began.

Nudey run a real balls-up

BUSHRANGER has it on good authority a nude runner was locked out of his apartment last weekend, prompting a late night phone call to his landlords. After being dared into a nudey run, the bloke’s girlfriend donned a bed sheet and jumped out in the hall to watch her Prince Charming make a dash to remember. But when the door slammed behind her, the couple realised they’d left their phones, keys and everything but the bedsheet locked in their apartment. Luckily, a neighbour in shining armour came to the rescue, inviting them in to borrow his phone, while their hero scoffed a burrito. Talk about being caught with your pants down.

Leader name a toughie

CLP Candidate for Johnston Gary Haslett made a big blunder at the Greek Festival. In a Facebook post spruiking his attendance, he noted it was a good opportunity to catch up with his leader Lia Fonocchiaro. It’s a tough one, but it is in fact Lia Finocchiaro.
