- A few words on the local rag, the NT News, and those words are AWESOME, ENTERTAINING and HILARIOUS. The NT News continues to scale the heights of tabloidism, refining its craft and not letting slanderous hearsay get in the way of a good story.

PORN COP SACKED
NIGEL ADLAM | June 25th, 2011
A POLICE officer has been sacked after being caught with pornographic photos on his work computer.
Police management refused to give details of the case. But spokeswoman Katie Fowden said the man had been fired after repeatedly breaking police rules.
She said reports that the officer had also been caught on CCTV cameras having sex with a police auxiliary on the bonnet of a car parked on The Esplanade in Darwin were "inaccurate".
Commander Colleen Gwynne, who is head of the police Ethical and Professional Standards Command, said: "The matter you refer to is an internal disciplinary matter, the details of which will not be provided."
A police source said the officer had photos of a naked woman on his computer at a police station.
"We believe the photos were of his girlfriend, but he was still sacked because that's not allowed.
"It was the final straw. He had breached discipline in many ways and management had just had enough of him."
The source said no complaint was ever lodged about the man having sex in public.
"Everybody talked about it but nothing was done."
Police Commissioner John McRoberts has vowed to fire officers guilty of serious disciplinary breaches, especially drink-driving.
This story, you might agree, is way too short. It ends just as the juicy issues of our law enforcement representatives are being broached. Especially drink-driving?
