Startled members of the Northern Territory Government’s roasted peanut think tank are caught here in a rustic location – the back room at the Alice Springs Crumble Bar- secretly discussing leadership of the party . They hope to nut out a new parliamentary leader who will be as popular as the Milky Bar Kid with angry voters . Other hot topics discussed included the new menu for patients at Royal Darwin Hospital following the decision to do away with porridge as part of cost cutting measures. One replacement for porridge suggested by the bright team is recycled blotting paper with a thin smear of Nutella. And as a special treat, patients will be given imitation cigarettes and cigars made from ground-up cane toads , popular with the Minister for Health.
