Though your feet, or hands if you choose, will be pampered and painted, you’ll also experience an audio story, taking you into the world of Vietnamese-run nail salons in Australia. The colour you choose de- termines the story you hear, and could cover ideas of mi- gration, beauty or culture. Blue will tell the story of Minh, a mother-in-law of a nail salon owner who runs a motel in Fannie Bay. Red is for ‘‘husbands’’, about men in and around a nail salon. It’s all part of ‘‘Talon Salon’’ created by artist Mi- chele Lee and in Darwin as part of the Darwin Festival. Ally Sinclair, of Fannie Bay, choose blue and brought lunch. ‘‘Lunch, show and a pedi- cure — it doesn’t get better than that,’’ she said. Salon host Kyle Walmsley described the experience of being in the story and hear- ing it as ‘‘cool’’. Talon Salon is at Nail Lovers until August 18, then at Beauti- ful Nails from August 21-25. Mate turns over blaze By SARAH CRAWFORD ONE of the men involved in the grisly death of Paul John Stamp — who was allegedly burnt alive because he drank someone else’s beer — will give evidence at his co- accused’s murder trial. Gregory John Channing’s lawyer Suzan Cox QC told the NT Supreme Court yesterday that he had put himself in danger in jail and had to be placed in protection Block B because he had decided to co- operate with police. ‘‘That is the price of what in prison is described as be- ing a ‘dog’,’’ she said. Mr Channing, 42, pleaded guilty to bashing and locking Mr Stamp, 47, in the boot of a car before friend Gary St- ewart Miles allegedly set fire to it in the early hours of September 19 last year. It is alleged Mr Stamp was attacked because he drank four cans of beer belonging to his flatmate Mr Miles. Ms Cox said Mr Channing was ‘‘horrified’’ by what hap- pened to Mr Stamp. ‘‘It was an argument over beer that got completely out of control,’’ she said. Crown Prosecutor Paul Us- her said Mr Miles came home to his residence in The Gardens with Mr Channing late at night and discovered the four beers were gone. The pair allegedly bashed the sleeping Mr Stamp and locked him in the boot of Mr Channing’s car. Mr Usher said they planned to drive him to a bush area and leave him there but ran out of petrol on Bombing Rd, Winnellie. After buying fuel from a nearby service station, Mr Miles allegedly poured petrol over the car and set it alight. ‘‘It exploded into a raging inferno, ‘‘ Mr Usher said. Ms Cox said Mr Channing did not know Mr Miles was going to set the car on fire. He was burnt on the face, arms, hands and stomach and spent days in hospital Ms Cox said he was ‘‘deeply ashamed and pro- foundly regretful’’. Mr Channing’s case was ad- journed to next week. Mr Miles is to stand trial for Mr Stamp’s murder in December. Coke in outsize invoice claim By AMY SPEAR AN OVERSIZED mock in- voice for $6 million was presented to Coca-Cola Amatil yesterday . The Boomerang Alliance said the invoice represented taxpayer money the North- ern Territory Government spent to prop up the cash- for-containers scheme since a Federal Court decision in February. Coca-Cola, Lion Nathan and Schweppes challenged the NT Container Deposit Legislation and won. This week, the scheme came back into place after the NT was granted exemp- tion from the Common- wealth’s Mutual Recog- nition Act. Jeff Angel, convenor of the Boomerang Alliance, said they did it because if the Government had not supported the scheme, about 18 million bottles and cans would have been land- filled or littered. He said there were two paddy wagons waiting when they arrived, but the com- pany didn’t obstruct activity. ‘‘They accepted our in- voice. I can only hope in ac- cepting it, they’re going to pay up,’’ he said. Of the Alliance’s activity, NT Minister for Environ- ment Peter Chandler said ‘‘bloody good on them’’. ‘‘I think what the Boomer- ang Alliance are doing now . . . it just shows the beverage industry for what they are.’’ Minister Chandler and Mr Angel supported making the scheme more efficient. A Coca-Cola Amatil spo- kesperson said they were pleased that Boomerang had finally acknowledged how expensive the NT deposit scheme had been to estab- lish and run. ‘‘The scheme is inefficient and, regardless of what changes the Government may make, will continue to cost NT consumers,’’ the spokesperson said.
