TERRITORY ON AN EVEN KEEL ?

A brand new Northern Territory flag  has recently  been raised at the Darwin Casino and , according to our learned vexillologist, who regularly tries to beat the pokies,  it is flying the right way- not upside down , as it has on many occasions. At sea, a flag upside down is a sign of distress,  indicating loss of propulsion, yellow fever , cholera ,  sweaty  crew  badly  in  need of  a  Royal Navy  shower ... a quick dust down with  talcum powder  before  you  go  ashore  and  mix with the  female voters .
