TERRITORY ON AN EVEN KEEL ?
A brand new Northern Territory flag has recently been raised at the Darwin Casino and , according to our learned vexillologist, who regularly tries to beat the pokies, it is flying the right way- not upside down , as it has on many occasions. At sea, a flag upside down is a sign of distress, indicating loss of propulsion, yellow fever , cholera , sweaty crew badly in need of a Royal Navy shower ... a quick dust down with talcum powder before you go ashore and mix with the female voters .
