Despite the Chief Minister's announcement about the Nightcliff Police Station now being a real police station, the word is that there are not enough officers available to run the place. Today a doctor's surgery , a short distance from the station, in the Nighcliff Village, is being worked on after a front window was smashed in during the night . Earlier in the day , some regulars were seen drinking in the area . There has been an outbreak of graffiti , and the back door of another shop was tampered with . It would seem that nothing has really changed . The obvious message that an integrated approach is needed , day and night, did not get through.
Any police turning up for duty at Nightcliff should be on the alert for two missing ducks, one brown , the other white. The owner is worried that dogs may have got them . Some thoughtless people have suggested they were roasted in the long grass .
