DRESSED in a blue safari suit coat, Solomon MP, Labor’s Luke Gosling, has stood in federal Parliament and argued state’s rights being returned to the Territory quoting the words of singer Meatloaf.

DEATH WISH: NT EUTHANASIA LAWS BACK ON THE TABLE

In a disjointed, sort of harmony, Mr Gosling stood following Question Time to talk about the approaching 40th Anniversary of Self Government.

40 years ago in 1978 the Territory gained #LIMITED self government and the right to wear safari suits in the NT Parliament! I spoke today of our celebration of our beloved Territory and called for #FULL Self Government for the #NT! https://t.co/kQMkHgGncW

At midpoint he started singing the words from the 1977 Meatloaf hit “Two out of three ain’t bad”, altering the words to say: “there ain’t no way we’re ever gunna give up on full rights for the Territory.”
