	Denis Burke - Definition, explanation
		Burke was born in Queensland, and entered the army as a national serviceman in 1969.
		Burke's term as Chief Minister is probably most remembered for his vehement defence of the territory's mandatory sentencing policy, which required a minimum of 90 days imprisonment after someone had been convicted three times, regardless of how minor the offence.
		Burke nominated for the vacancy, and was unanimously re-elected as leader on February 7, 2005.

		Burke nominated for the vacancy, and was unanimously re-elected as leader on February 7, 2005.

	PM - Little to change: Burke
		Denis Burke spoke to Camille Funnell in Sydney late today.
		DENIS BURKE: Well it will make a difference because a 17 year old under our mandatory sentencing provisions will experience detention on their second conviction on a court if they're judged unsuitable for a diversionary programme or fail that programme.
		DENIS BURKE: Yes, because we discussed putting in place additional diversionary programmes, putting place an Aboriginal Interpreter Service, and the fact that it would take about $5 million additional to put that in place properly, and the Prime Minister agreed to that.

		Denis, who joined the staff of CIE in 1961 was soon to become the "face of Bus Eireann in Cork" in his role of sales executive.

	Burke,Kenneth Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print

	PM - Denis Burke back as CLP leader
		DENIS BURKE: I was particularly pleased with the warmth and enthusiasm that the decision was not only made in, but the warmth with which my parliamentary colleagues embraced and supported me as the Opposition leader for the future.
		ANNE BARKER: Denis Burke's re-election as leader is a sign of the CLP's disarray since it lost government to Labor in 2001, after an unbroken 26 years of rule.
		DENIS BURKE: It'll be a government going to an early election that's achieved zero for Territorians.

	NT ATTORNEY GENERAL - DENIS BURKE - GUILTY - CONTEMPT OF COURT
		The contempt action followed a press conference Mr Burke gave on June 7 at which he described a challenge by NAALAS to the appointment of Hugh Bradley as the territory's chief magistrate as a waste of taxpayers' money.
		NAALAS had argued Mr Burke's attack was intended to prevent the service proceeding with the case and dissuade witnesses from coming forward.
		But he warned: "Mr Burke would be prudent to proceed on the basis that, if he were to repeat his contempt, the court would be likely to impose a very significant penalty; quite possibly a term of imprisonment."

	Asia - The Northern Territory's lost frontier? New Chief Minister Clare Martin promises to refocus on Asia. Business ...
		Burke says it was his government, and the work of previous governments (and for many analysts, Shane Stone's Government), which had paved the way for Martin's early successes.
		Burke says a lot of work had been done over the past 20 years, particularly in Indonesia, and it was now up to the new Government to pick up the challenge.
		Burke agrees that efforts have suffered as a result of the Asian economic crisis, despite a great deal of energy being put into developing growth areas such as Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

	Amazon.ca: Here & Elsewhere: The Collected Fiction of Kenneth Burke: Books: Kenneth Burke,Denis Donoghue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This collection brings together the major fictional works of poet, critic and literary theorist Burke (1897–1993), one of the most unusual and adventurous American writers to explore mid-century modernist concepts and prose styles.
		The book presents Burke's dreamy, ethereal novel, Toward a Better Life (1932 and later revisions), as well as 20 stories that showcase his wild imagination, which can be as frustratingly inaccessible as it is brilliantly luminous, often within the span of a few paragraphs.
		Burke's sentences offer surprises that make this minor period work a worthwhile read, but don't expect it all to hang together.

	AM - Denis Burke dumped as CLP leader
		ANNE BARKER: Like it or not Denis Burke will always be remembered as the man who led the Northern Territory Country Liberal Party to its first defeat.
		But in Mr Burke's mind it wasn't local politics at all that brought his demise, but the damage caused by another so-called friend — Defence Force chief Peter Cosgrove — who labelled Mr burke a goose last week for apparently condoning marijuana use in the army.
		DENIS BURKE: There's no doubt in my mind that the lies that were put about, the comments of General Cosgrove, not withstanding they were retracted entirely by him, those lies and the media comment associated with them were a major factor in what happened, but that's politics.

		Mr Burke admitted that he didn't know until late last year about a scathing 120 page study written in 1995, exposing many of the problems which are the subject of the current report, which suggests that nothing or not enough had been done to fix these shortcomings.
		When Denis was first diagnosed he set about finding a home for his chooks, his dog and the camels: "I got a home for the two younger camels but, at that time, I couldn't find anywhere for the three older camels, all over 21.
		The happy news from Denis is that Huchang, Saleh and Praline are back in town, in the care of Jane and reunited with the youngest camels, Schnitzel and Solomon, who once formed his unique outback troupe.
