GRAB BYTES – FEBRUARY 31 – 40

Poor Old Henry is a Nervous Nellie about the weather 

I live in fear of just how we can be impacted by the negative caprices of the weather. WWW.BOM is the most frequently visited site on my server. In particular, I live on edge from November 1 of each year until April 30 the next. I am always wary about what might transpire during these months.

EDO deserves its comeuppance

All funding and support for an organisation that has become obstructionist to the point of falsification of facts around issues of major import should be ceased and never reinstated. The EDO’s descent into fairyland and abrogation of a factual approach to issues has burdened the project with inordinate delay and added to establishment costs by SANTOS.

Three cheers to the CLP Government for its stance on this issue.

Luke Gosling and the CLP Government

Our Member for Solomon will work meaningfully and proactively with the NT Government, for they both want our NT to emerge from the doldrums and return to an optimistic and economically viable place. 

The  CLP – Proactive government returns

I give three cheers to the CLP Government for taking this stance. How great it is to experience again the proactivity and resolution of a government keen to get the territory back on track through action, not just talk.

The Government is right on track

There was sure a lack of trans[parency and accountability during the term of the last Labor Government – which stretched over eight years. The Finnochario government has communicated fully and openly with the NT community.  This government has an unequivocal message: It will honour the mandate under which it was overwhelmingly elected in August last year. 

A delicious snack

I recommend Cheese and Butter Delights. Take a slice of cheese, spread it with butter, roll the cheese up so it is like a roll-mop, then eat. These make delicious snacks.

Darwin may soon have its own Heathrow

The way the announcements of new airlines and new routes are unfolding, Darwin could soon become Australia’s Heathrow Airport.

Musicofanatic  cannot wait

Never too old for Bass-in-the-Grass.  I may well become the oldest septuagenarian in the mosh pit.

The Opposition on transparency 

 Just love hearing members of the opposition going on as if transparency had been a part of their governing strategy for the past eight years.

Valentine’s Day letters published in the paper

Some of these expressions of affection, desire, and intention are stronger than the Territory knock-em-down winds that herald the end of the wet season.
