Many people express the wish to be a fly on the wall during interesting discussions . Well, one of our flies was buzzing around viands at a recent Sydney medical conference and overheard titillating comments about the NT Health Department and the NT government . Our fly , rewarded with some smelly sheep entrails for his scoop, told us that he had heard a conversation about a Queensland man who had upset the Territory government and the Health Department with a critical farewell letter to the Territory which had been published in the Darwin newspaper.
According to Louie the fly, the letter writer was informed by the NT Government and the Health Department that there would be no welcome carpet run out for him should he ever contemplate returning to the Territory. Unfortunately, Louie, suffering loss of memory due to a close encounter with Mortein, could not supply the name of the man who penned the annoying letter.
But by delving into our extensive NT News files, we found a letter in which a person departing Darwin made unflattering comments about a large number of people on the fifth floor of the Wedding Cake and the Royal Darwin Hospital. Wonder if this was the letter which caused chuckles and much comment at the conference ?
