Take this watch and shove it, Minister told.

The Northern Territory Opposition has presented the Essential Services
Minister, Rob Knight, with a gold watch and a jar of petroleum jelly on
behalf of a disgruntled former public servant.

The Opposition's essential services spokesman, John Elferink, told
Parliament a retired public servant with frustrations about working at the
Power and Water Corporation wanted to hand back the gold watch he was given
to mark his retirement, along with a jar of petroleum jelly.

"You have staff so disgruntled when they retire, they simply want to be
downright rude to their employer by insinuating what they can do with
their gold watches," Mr Elferink said.

But Mr Knight says it is an Opposition stunt. It was his policy not to mix
business with pleasure, so he would return the watch for a refund.

The minister made no mention of returning the king size jar of vaseline.
