MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU LOVE, A CLP SEAT OR KNEE TREMBLING CHARISMA

A Darwin couple openly boast that they unsuccessfully spent in excess of $200,000 trying to win a Legislative Assembly seat for the CLP. After the strange suggestion that rowdy Dave Tollner ,who, unlike Canute , scoffs at the real dangers of tidal surges, would strike fear in the ALP should he become the CLP leader, would anybody be willing to risk a brass razoo trying to secure a seat in such an outfit . Once more the inappropriate use of the adjective “charismatic” has been used to describe a Darwin politician, this time Tollner . The vox pop conducted by the NT News ( June 5 ) showed that not one of the five people quoted had been overwhelmed by Tollner's supposed charisma when asked if he should be the next CM.
