Alternating between white and red-faced, the NT ALP branch secretary, Mark Whittaker,clutching his BlackBerry , absented himself from the Sunday Nightcliff ALP meeting saying there had been a breach of security back at the factory. It seemed to be a serious situation. Strange. Can any political/police reporter ring Mark and ask for information about the worrying security breach on the sabbath ?
FOLLOW UP- After the above item was posted, Little Darwin received a telephone call from a cynical person who said the security breach message to Whittaker was obviously a coded message of pending doom for the NT government due to Marion Scymgour about to announce she is prepared to walk . That caller obviously watches that tense British drama, Spooks, where terrifying messages about the end of the world by nuclear warfare are passed on through coded cell phone messages.
