Elections........and more elections..........

Local government elections are on in the NT in two weeks. Ho hum ho hum.......

Darwin's Lord Mayor is currently doing time in jail for misappropraiting council property, after using council funds to purchase a heap of stupid stuff - a fridge, a Darth Vader mask and womens knickers....[ why you might ask??] so he is a non starter for mayor.

The more notable of the candidates for mayor runs our local "Toadbusters" - a group that attempts to keep cane toads out of Darwin. That could well be another blog topic I guess. And there are several others. Even less notable, including a few from previous dismal failures at similar elections.

As for alderman - Well I am not even sure who our ward has.

BUT............still two weeks to go. Maybe there will be flurry of action after Easter.

OK, that was an awesome teaser, you NEED to tell us whether getting the cane toads out of town is a good thing or a bad, and why the heck it would make it onto an election platform...how would they do it????
