There were horrifying scenes in the Legislative Assembly chamber today when the Minister for Noxious Weeds and Funny Walks and Talks was attacked by a killer triffid plant from one of those 39 new planets discovered in outer space. Making menacing noises , the triffid attempted to suck out the brain of the minister , but had difficulty locating his thinking gear . As a joke, the minister had held up what he thought was a bunch of house- trained , hybrid Ragwort , worse than Paterson’s Curse, and said it was a bouquet for the Member for Macdonnell .
Whereupon, the outraged posy exploded like a transformer into a bloodthirsty triffid. The terrified, screaming minister and the evil plant rolled about the chamber like two Greek wrestlers . Madam Speaker saved the day when she whipped out a machete from the side saddle on her throne and chopped the leafy triffid into a Greek salad, without a sprinkling of fetta cheese, which is understandable in the life and death circumstances.

His eyes rolling back into his head , the honourable minister went into shock when the only doctor in the house administered the kiss of life and presented him with a gunmetal watch for 20 years’ service to baffling crossword puzzles. Rushed to the Royal Darwin Hospital Vegetable Attack Trauma Unit, the minister received expert attention from Dr Len Notaras and a gift from a Wonderland rabbit who was running very late, passing out Easter eggs.
