Why people in the NT hold tight the right to blow things up for one wild night each year
This year 228 tonnes of fireworks have been imported and people will detonate them with few rules and regulations — long after cracker nights were banned in every other state and territory.
Man, reading that article made me sad. Yeah the emergency services gets more calls, but what's the point in living if you can't have a bit of fun now and then?
We've collectively given up our right to be fucking idiots.
Probably my most consistent complaint with Australia over the years. Everyone just BEGS to be wrapped in cotton wool. Everything is banned. It's progressively become the most boring country in the entire world, especially in major centres.
Feels like if the residents of Darwin wanted to ban it they could.
I've been in Darwin for Territory Day. It's actually a real sight to behold. Small fires everywhere... saw a playground on fire even.
Same! lived there for a bit. Had sooo much fun on Territory Day. 10/10
Sound like...a blast.
It's more of a bang to be honest.
Alex Bowden, 23, suffered burns to his bum in 2012 after inserting a spinning-bee firework in his anus and lighting it. He then attempted to pull it out and suffered further burns to three fingers.
HAHAHA
