CLP has last shot at Government as Parliament wraps up
Posted
The Northern Territory Parliament has closed for the year, with a song making fun of Paul Henderson's last 12 months in government.
Politicians traditionally use their last speech for the year to thank staff, friends and other politicians for their help through the year.
But, the Country Liberals Member for Port Darwin, John Elferink decided to sing a version of the 12 days of Christmas he received from a voter.
"On the 6th month of Hendo the public said to me, six drunk drivers nightly, five times the debt, four prisons needed, three promises daily, two hospitals wanted and a gang fight on every street, Merry Christmas Hendo," Mr Elferink sang.
Despite the obvious joy the song caused in Opposition ranks, Labor members sat unmoved.
Parliament re opens in February next year.
