DARWIN: Fair dinkum , so many bizarre things have happened during the reign of the Country Liberal Government Territorians would hardly raise an eyebrow if a flying saucer swooped out of the wide blue yonder and weirdo aliens abducted the NT News UFO Reporter and took her away for the usual anal examination and full Brazilian body wax and free Olympic rings tattoo .
However, one recent mind boggling event came from left field, near Tennant Creek actually .
Two men were caught cattle duffing -chopping up a cow. As the story unravelled it caused blasé Territorians to shake their heads and wonder if a comet would hit the Legislative Assembly building any day soon . There has even been an upsurge in mad laughter and limp falling in drinking establishments frequented by thirsty workmen , especially members of the MUA.

The media claimed that nearby sitting in a government car was the now independent Member for Arnhem, Larisa Lee ; the bloody duffers, who allegedly gave false names , later made an offer of $600 for the spare ribs and other tasty bits and pieces .
Ms Lee, it was recalled had her previous government supplied car confiscated in June after she allowed an underage relative to drive it because she was allegedly intoxicated.
Adam Giles ,the kind Chief Minister , however , it was reported , had decreed she could have the use of another official car for the duration of the election campaign to travel about her electorate. Tennant Creek is way, way out of her electorate .
The election takes place on Saturday ... then what ? Watch this space , along with the CIA and Chinese spooks .
FINAL COUNT : At a Sky News election forum in Darwin attended by 100 undecided voters, 58 indicated they would vote for the ALP and 12 for the CLP . A snake made it onto the front page of the NT News and the paper said the ALP deserved to win , however Darwin's so called psychic crocodile indicated he would like to sink his fangs into Adam Giles rather than the ALP leader, Michael Gunner , an act supposed to predict the CLP will win !!! It is obvious the croc has lost its mystical power and should be turned into some travel luggage ASAP.
When the cow-chopping story broke , the car was hastily withdrawn . The NT Speaker and noted snake handler Kezia Purick, formerly of the CLP but now independent , and former ALP Leader Delia Lawrie demanded to know what special SBS deal the Chief Minister had cooked up with Lee, a former CLP member , before giving her the second chuck wagon .
Lee has been involved in several other dramas , one causing a Darwin hotel room fire when heating up a loaf of garlic bread , and in 2014 was convicted of assaulting her teenage niece in a sock it to me episode in Katherine after discovering she had been having an affair with her partner.
