Watch the clock

People give all sorts of excuses for turningn up late to Darwin Magistrate's Court. On Wednesday we heard a new one - the defendant in a cannabis case said his watch was on West Australian time (1 and a half hours behind the NT). "Just as well my watch isn't," said Magistrate Peter Dixon, on exchange from Tasmania, whhere the time is 1 and a half hours ahead of the Territory's.
