In what promises to be a massive class action, the top legal firm of Slater and Gordon is reportedly planning to sue the NT News and its parent company for constantly scaring the pants off Territorians and overseas tourists with terrifying stories about crocodiles.
Recently the Queensland Government paid $40,000 compensation to businesses on Magnetic Island because of losses in the tourism industry due to publicity given to one crocodile that swam about the island for several weeks.
Using this figure as a precedent, Slater and Gordon estimate that the NT News has run so many crocodile stories over the years each Territorian could receive at least a zillion bucks. Yippee! Bugger trying to win the piddling News mystery number prize. Little Darwin understands the legal firm has interviewed thousands of Territorians who claim to be petrified of crocodiles because of what they have read in the paper . Many young Darwin children scream and cry when they see a yellow ducky in the bathtub , convinced it is Peter Pan’s crocodile out to eat them.
The population is so scared of crocs, harmless geckos running about the walls and ceilings daily cause schoolchildren to flee their classes. This News croc bombardment also explains why there are so many jibbering idiots in the Top End. Police say fear of crocodiles is a contributing cause to the number of drunk drivers on the road.
A front page story about a man-eating croc in a swimming pool conjures up the return of the whopper saurian , Sweetheart. However, it usually turns out to be a baby croc who has lost its way. The Crocodile Liberation Party (CLP) is expected to be a party to the class action as it is furious with the constant bad press cuddly crocodiles receive from the newspaper.
A Slater and Gordon lawyer was seen doing cartwheels around the NT Supreme Court entrance after reading that the NT News declared crocodiles the fourth most powerful “person” in the Territory.
In New York, News empire chief, Rupert Murdoch, down to his last $20billion due to the economic meltdown, groaned when he heard about the threat by Slater and Gordon. He immediately donated all NT News staff to Wildlife rangers for croc bait and sold the NT News building to Crocodyllus Park as a new handbag and shoe emporium. Then Rupert applied for Chinese citizenship and flew to Beijing with his wife and kids to prevent legal documents being served on him . NOTE- According to the NT Real Estate Institute , the News building sold for a song: “Never Smile at a Crocodile .”
