  • 'It's Not Whether You Win Or Lose …' Chief Justice Robert S French 14 August 2010, Darwin
    Northern Territory Bar Association Annual Dinner 'It's Not Whether You Win or Lose …' Chief Justice Robert S French 14 August 2010, Darwin Your Excellency the Administrator the Hon Tom Pauling, President Raelene Webb, Chief Justice Brian Martin, Chief Justice-Elect Trevor Riley, your Honours, ladies and gentlemen: As we are all only too aware, there is a federal election next week. There has been endless and repetitious discussion in the media about it. So much so that one is reminded of the slogan used by Roy Slaven and HG Nelson for their This Sporting Life program: 'When too much sport is barely enough'. Thinking of HG Nelson led me to think of a simpler electoral time in the Northern Territory of the 1920s, when the Territory was voteless but not voiceless in the federal parliament. Its voice was Harold George Nelson. In an article in the Northern Territory Times & Gazette of November 19251, Thomas Nelson, described, tongue in cheek, as a 'poet laureate', was reported to have circulated a pamphlet attaching a song to be sung for HG Nelson MHR, when passing through Two Mile on his way to Darwin. The pamphlet referred to arrangements made for as many children as possible living in the Two Mile area to take part, by kind permission of their parents, in a welcome for Mr Nelson MHR. Each child was to sing the song. Each would have a small flag with the letter 'N' on it so that when the train arrived at Two Mile there would be waving of the flags and ______________________ 1 JA Porter, 'Thomas Nelson [Poet Laureate]', Northern Territory Times and Gazette (Darwin) 20 November 1925, at 4.
