I just remember that episode where Peter Cundall pruned a lemon tree to within an inch of its life. He yelled “Somebody stop me!” Nobody did.

In a huge development to this story, survivors of child sexual abuse at Darwin's Retta Dixon Home will now be eligible to access compensation under the National Redress Scheme. Credit to the brave people who spoke to the ABC to bring this story to light. youtube.com/watch?v=WPwuyDTf…
New story from me. The organisation that operated the infamous Retta Dixon Home in Darwin, where multiple children were allegedly sexually assaulted and abused between 1947 and 1980, will not be a part of the National Redress Scheme. (1/4)

Happy Dad’s Day! Mine’s starting with the young fellas in the corner house partying with a few mates. 1:30AM playlist started with a You’re The Voice singalong. Now they’re on to Straight Lines by Silverchair. OK. But if The Horses rolls out at any stage, I’m calling the cops.

and, at 6.54pm on a Friday in Darwin, The NT's anti-corruption commissioner issues a statement saying he's received numerous reports alleging anti-democratic conduct related to the election.
The reports range from "matters that are trivial to matters that are serious" @abcnews
Howdy Bushranger! I made a blue in a press conference that I corrected less than ten seconds later, without prompting from anyone, including the NT News journalist present. Can send you the tape if you’re confused.

I’m absolutely shattered with the news about the @centraladvocate and all of the regional papers that will no longer print. It’s not always been perfect but the Centralian Advocate has always been a pillar in Central Australia. We’re now certainly worse off. Heartbroken.
