A few random facts about the new NT preselection.
Even if only half of this is correct, makes you wonder why she was even thought about?
Nova Peris
Was not a member of the ALP
Has lived in Canberra for 15 years
Previously stated that she would like to get into politics in the NT (hoping someone would ask her), but both major parties ignored her
Did not know who the father of her first daughter was
Married the bloke who drew the short straw
Was known as ‘greased lightning’, but not for her sporting prowess
Was evicted by Cathy Freeman for trashing the house she had generously loaned her
Was picked up drunk in Darwin mall, having a punch-up with her then husband
Didn't turn up for a celebrity race the next day as she had a black eye
Was arrested for drink driving in Canberra
Was very unsportsmanlike towards team mates in the Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games
Posed for a nude calendar
Sponsors Telstra and Novotel withdrew their sponsorships
Took fellow hockey team members on a fishing trip to Bathurst Island (air charters, exclusive lodge accommodation) and charged it all to the NT Government
Had some doubtful transactions regarding $50k worth of furniture lifted from the NT Dept of Education for which she worked for a period. Furniture located in her rented house
Is an arrogant bitch with expectations of living off the public purse.
Should fit right into Julia's team......
