    Vandalism may be biker 'message'

    WARNING CARD: Country Liberals member for Port Darwin John Elferink's office window was broken

    WARNING CARD: Country Liberals member for Port Darwin John Elferink's office window was broken

    Port Darwin MLA John Elferink said he arrived at work to find a "very large hole in my window".

    He said it could be the work of the bikie gang Odin's Warriors or their associates.

    The gang left a business card at the office as a warning on their recent visit to Darwin.

    "I don't know what the motivation was. It could be linked to the threat I received from the Odin's Warriors," he said.

    "It could also be some drunken moron who doesn't like politicians."

    Mr Elferink believed the calling card was a threat in response to his speech to parliament about cracking down on bikie gangs.

    Territory police said they were not investigating a link between the smashed window and the calling card incident.

    Officers were on high alert after members of the interstate outlaw motorcycle gang roared into town in August.

    Police launched a special operation called Rhino when the bikies arrived and urged pubs and clubs to refuse entry to Warriors wearing "colours".

    Convoys of bikies were stopped and searched several times and at least one man was arrested by NT police for an outstanding warrant

    Sex act driver loses control

    REBEKAH CAVANAGH

    October 8th, 2009

    A DRIVER who crashed his car on a Territory road was having oral sex at the time of the accident, police believe.

    Police said the 33-year-old man and his female passenger were involved in "amorous activities" when he crashed his single cab Hilux ute on Pioneer Drive in Humpty Doo about 11.30pm last night.

    The driver suffered minor hip injuries and his 34-year-old passenger suffered chest injuries.

    But police said the incident could have had "devastating consequences".

    Police Duty Superintendent John Emeny said the driver had been distracted by the female passenger and veered into a concrete drain on the opposite side of the road.

    "It is believed that the driver and his passenger were engaged in amorous activities at the time of the accident," he said.

    "Whilst there may be a humorous element to this incident there is also a very serious one and that is the devastating consequences that can result from inattentive driving."

    The vehicle was extensively damaged and had to be towed from the scene.

    The driver was later breath tested and returned a reading of 0.147 per cent.

    He has been charged with drink driving, driving without due care and unlicenced driving.

    Something in the water (or mangoes) Uncle Ho

    Swerving motorist caught 'in the act' with girlfriend
    EMILY WATKINS
    May 23rd, 2009
    A MAN was caught having sex while driving because he and his girlfriend could not wait until they reached their destination, a court has heard.
    Bradley Dean Milne, 33, was charged with not wearing his seatbelt, driving without due care and drink-driving when a witness called police after seeing his car swerving all over the road. Darwin Magistrates Court heard that the couple were planning to drive to East Arm Wharf in the Mazda ute to have sex.
    Police prosecutor Leigh Cahill said Milne "became aroused" and the woman gave him oral sex while he was driving until they reached the traffic lights at the Berrimah Rd intersection.
    Milne was swerving from one side of the road to the other until the car stopped at the lights.
    They turned right onto Berrimah Rd, and the woman straddled Milne while he kept driving, swerving into the kerbside and back into the middle lane.
    When police stopped the car and Milne was asked why he had been drinking - with a blood alcohol concentration of .097 per cent - he said: "Come on, mate. What would you do? We were going to the wharf but we didn't quite get there."
    Milne's lawyer Ian Rowbottam told the Northern Territory News last night that Milne was too embarrassed to speak about the incident again.
    Mr Rowbottam told the court that Milne had not been paying attention to his intoxication, and had been surprised at the reading.
    "He wasn't concentrating on that - he was concentrating on his amorous situation," he said.
    Magistrate Hugh Bradley said he would not focus on things that were not unlawful, but told Milne he needed to be more careful when driving.
    "If these things are going to happen, you need to stop driving," he said.
    He fined Milne $1400 and disqualified him from driving for six months.

    Unhappy ending for servo sex pair

     

    The driver was drunk and the vehicle was stolen.

    Police said they arrested the couple at the Adelaide River BP after spotting them having sex in the passenger seat of the car while pulled up at the petrol bowser.

    Officers allegedly asked the couple to "stop what they were doing", and noticed the pair seemed to be intoxicated.

    Police then reviewed video footage to see who had been driving the car.

    The driver was breath tested and returned a blood alcohol reading of 0.179 per cent.

    Police said the Toyota Landcruiser in which they shared their tryst had earlier been stolen from a house at Jabiru.

    The driver was charged with unlawful use of a motor vehicle, high range drink driving and unlicensed driving.

    Both occupants were charged with indecent behaviour in a public place.

    Shaggin' wagon

    REBEKAH CAVANAGH

    Hannah Walker was driving behind the police car and said she was shocked to find the couple bonking in the back when she pulled up behind them at a red light.

    Police said last night they had no idea about their randy rendezvous.

    Ms Walker was travelling along Gilruth Avenue towards Darwin city when she stopped at the traffic lights that meet Goyder Rd in Parap outside Darwin High School and saw the pair pashing about 5pm on Wednesday.

    "I saw the two people kissing and thought 'geez, in the back of a paddy wagon - they're keen'," she said.

    Ms Walker, 18, said by the time she reached the next set of lights and got stuck behind the police car again the couple were having sex.

    "It was a red light and I had to sit behind the paddy wagon for a few minutes," she said. "I couldn't believe it when I saw them just going for it.

    "There was a woman laying on the floor and a man on top.

    "They had clothes on but from their movements you could tell they were having sex.

    "I could see the officer in the side mirrors and he had no idea what was going on."

    Ms Walker followed the police car most of the way to her home in Larrakeyah and said it turned down Mitchell St towards the Watch House.

    NT Police Darwin watch commander Senior Sergeant Daniel Shean said last night police were not aware of any sexual acts being performed in the paddy wagon.

    But he said the couple had been taken into protective custody to sober up.

    "I have spoke with the members involved and they said they did see the couple kissing but did not see any nudity or anything to indicate they were having sex," he said.

    But he admitted it is hard for officers to see everything that goes on in the back - and urged anyone who witnesses any untoward happenings in the back of a paddy wagon to call police on 131 444.

    "If they report it immediately we can ... address it straight away," he said.

    Oh and to carry on with Uncle Ho's theme change there was this one in the news today............. so if your a lesbian (I know I am ).....................

    Welcome to a town dyke Alice

    DANIEL BOURCHIER

    It comes after reports that Swedish tourism bodies have been swamped with inquiries from tourists captivated by a mythical town rumoured to be home to 25,000 sex-mad lesbians.

    The town of Chako Paul City has again come up on tourism radars following a call for the whereabouts in the Chinese press.

    "I've no idea where this came from but it's not true," Swedish local authorities' spokesman Claes Bertilson said.

    While cold water has been thrown on the fictitious city, the same cannot be said for Alice Springs.

    And Gay and Lesbian Tourism Australia NT regional director Phil Walcott said that Alice is the lesbian capital of Australia because of the high per-capita residency.

    He said it was the undiscovered lesbian gem of the country.

    "Alice is a wonderland," he said.

    A recent television documentary took a satirical and light-hearted look at the town's culture of same-sex love.

    Destiny in Alice, a 25-minute co-production by the ABC and CAAMA, says the town became a "haven" for lesbians after several hundred women marched on the Pine Gap intelligence base in 1983.

    "Many of the participants in the protests were lesbians who came, saw and decided to stay," the ABC said.

    "Since then, the town of Alice Springs has become a haven for lesbians."

    Article: NT: Speaker to have chair sex culprit charged

    NT: Chair sex proves press secretaries' power

    By Rod McGuirk

    DARWIN, March 15 AAP - Anyone who doubts political press secretaries' ability to skew the media agenda should consider Andrew Kilvert's sexual escapade in the Northern Territory parliament.

    The Labor government media adviser farewelled the halls of power with a grog-fuelled sex session with his girlfriend on the speaker's chair under the bright lights of the cavernous Legislative Assembly.

    The story goes he banged the speaker's gavel while his partner delivered a soliloquy about freedom of choice and free speech during an uncomfortable half- hour coupling.

    A harmless enough after-hours prank, ...

    No oral sex, says ute crash waitress

    REBEKAH CAVANAGH

    A WOMAN accused of performing a sexual act on a man when he crashed in Darwin's rural area is outraged at the allegation and says it is "absolutely wrong".

    Allyson White said the standout burn mark left by her seatbelt across her chest was proof the claims of "amorous activities'' with the driver were not true.

    "I was not sucking his d*** - and it's pretty obvious that wasn't the case ... you only have to look at the mark on my chest,'' she said.

    "Clearly I had my seatbelt on, so it's impossible that I'd be leaning over sucking his d*** unless he is hung like a donkey or I've got a f****** rubber neck.

    "If it was true I'd just cop it sweet and think 'how embarassing, I got caught sucking someone's d***' - but it is not true and that's what is p****** me off.

    "It didn't happen like that at all - he was just going too fast.''

    Police told in Thursday's Northern Territory News how they believe a driver crashed his car while involved in "amorous activities'' with his female passenger.

    They said the 33-year-old man was distracted by the woman and veered off the road, smashing his single cab Hilux ute into a concrete drain on Pioneer Rd in Humpty Doo.

    But Ms White said it was a lie and she wanted to set the record straight.

    Even the unnamed driver's statement to police had no hints of any fellatio taking place.

    "I don't understand where that story has come from,'' she said.

    "It may have looked bad when police first arrived as my girls were hanging out all over the place. I also had a $5 note wedged between my boobs so they probably just assumed I was a sex worker or something and he'd already paid me.

    "But $5 is a bit cheap for a head job.''

    Ms White, 34, said she had been at the Howard Springs Tavern celebrating a friend's birthday when they decided to go back to a friend's place in Humpty Doo.

    She said they stopped into the Humpty Doo Tavern where she usually works to invite other friends, including the unnamed driver, along to the bash.

    He did not know how to get to the house so she jumped in his car to give him directions.

    "We are just friends and it's pissing me off as people think I have done this behind my boyfriend's back - it makes me feel like a dirty bitch when I've done nothing wrong.''

    "Fair enough he shouldn't have been driving but I didn't realise he was drunk and would never have got in the car if I did.''

    Ms White was taken by St John Ambulance to Royal Darwin Hospital with chest injuries following the crash.

    The driver was charged with drink driving after allegedly blowing .147 per cent, as well as driving without due care and driving without a licence.
