WAR MEMORIAL INACTION CONTINUES

The powers that be in Darwin move with the speed of a wounded gazelle hit by a blast from an elephant gun . Weeks ago, Little Darwin pointed out gross errors in the Esplanade Cenotaph area and spelling errors and poorly written text in the online guide to Darwin’s war memorials. Here we are at Remembrance Day in a military citadel and the guide is still there.
Illustrated advertisements run next to the guide include fornicating kangaroos . Perhaps we were wrong when we said a high powered organisation was working on “brand bombing ”, using soap marketing techniques to cash in on the Territory’s wartime past. . It must have been brand bonking. Surely somebody can look into this matter. The longer it continues, the more we look like hillbillies. Correcting bad errors in the stonework spelling might take time to correct, but the online snafu only requires a telephone call or two to remedy.
