Top End crocodiles are furious with the NT News because the paper now gives more attention to singer Jessica Mauboy than swamp dwellers. The crocs are threatening to black ban the News and demand royalties for past appearances in its pages. Arrangements for a series of massive protests outside the News office are being drawn up by angry crocodiles.
The crocodiles' spokesman, pictured above , an aggressive critter believed responsible for the mysterious disappearance of taxi drivers in Mitchell Street , told Little Darwin News reporters and photographers are not as tasty as cabbies. Jessica was getting a bigger coverage in the Darwin paper than the crocodile super star, Sweetheart , he complained, adding : “She got an ARIA Award , so should leave the NT News front page to lovable crocodiles.”
Ominiously, he advised her not to pose in a swimsuit at the Nightcliff boat ramp for a News photographer. Crocodiles, he revealed, will do anything to appear in publications , one had even arranged to be snapped wearing a bowtie for the next edition of DarwinLife, pretending to be the owner of a handbag , shoe and wallet shop which caters for corporate cowboys.
