Police are investigating the suggestion that a huge dose of the clumsy drug caused the I HATE DELIA sticker farce during the Alice Springs sittings of the Legislative Assembly. There is a statutory declaration from a prune- faced member of Paul Henderson’s entourage claiming that Katherine MLA Willem Westra van Holthe was seen placing the sticker on a dunny door.

A former policeman, clunking about the loo in his clogs , Willem said he had merely seen the sticker on a bench in the toilet and, wanting to beautify Australia , had stuck it on the door . At the time , he apparently admitted it was a “fair cop “ being observed doing a bit of bill posting . Later, he was quoted as saying he had no idea who was responsible for production of the sticker, which includes a serious mug shot of the Manager of Government Business , Dr Burns , a man usually seen beaming like a Cheshire cat in and around supermarkets.

Somehow , another copy of the sticker mysteriously attached itself to the laptop of David Tollner . The Grand Sitting Primo, Jane Aagaard , ordered Tollner to remove the offending sticker , the threat being that if he did not, he would be flushed into the sin bin , yet again . Pleading ignorance , Tollner said he had no idea who had placed the sticker on his laptop. That some fiend goes about slapping offensive stickers on the laptops of politicians can only be regarded as a serious threat to the Westminster system of government and the Bank of Nigeria . Tollner helpfully suggested the sticker could have been produced by a larrikin member of the CLP.
It must come as a severe shock to our modest readers to learn a larrikin could join a Territory political party.

Meanwhile, the Phantom of the Alice Springs Comic Soap Opera is roaming at large. Police investigating the baffling event are keen to speak to a plumber , Mr Caroma , who will be subjected to water torture in an attempt to crack the case.
That the CLP was badly in need of colonic irrigation became clear when it again agitated to enable grog to be sold from take away bottle shops from 10 am , instead of 12 , in Alice Springs . Chief Minister Paul Henderson rightly tore strips off the Opposition over this crazy suggestion for a town torn apart by grog . The Government has itself been constipated in its dealings with the monstrous drink problem in the Centre , failing to reduce the number of liquor licences in the town.

Tollner created a ruckus when he revealed that the government had arranged for a $170,000 outhouse to be built and installed in a convenient spot at Howard Springs for kingmaker Gerry Wood. Henderson , a member of the Privvy Council, said the contract for the throne had been cancelled , a saving of $40,000.
