Court action is likely any day now over a dispute between the Darwin City Council and a group of lawyers who have been driven mad by the council building’s noisy airconditioners . The legal eagles, whose offices are opposite city hall, complained to the DCC.
They were informed that to remedy the clunker cooler it would cost $80,000. Furthermore , the council put the sting on the lawyers for a cool 40 grand. With Cavenagh Street and Smith Street Mall shopkeepers hot under the collar over the actions of our city fathers and mothers, global warming will be nought compared with the heat mounting against the council. In fact, the next council elections could see a bloodbath as a result of strong opposition campaigns against the mayor and certain councillors on a list (growing longer by the day and including politicians) , drawn up by the Lord High Executioner for the chop. They will none of them be missed, as sung with great vigour in the grand musical, The Mikado. It has been pointed out that the DCC likes to portray itself as green, a member of the trendy Cool Mob, yet its building rumbles and hisses like gaseous Mt Vesuvius about to erupt.
