THE NEWS IN BRIEFS
Jan 7 2021

Terry:
(loudly) In a shock announcement today, the Premier, Long Tin Leg, said he has insulted the Eternal General and confimed that the Labour candidate for the Bollocks bi-election was not under investilgation, and had in fact spent the previous sixty nine years running a seminary in the Phillippines, and over that period had not been accused of anything by the army. He has lived in a cave in Sri Lanka formally(that is, in a dinner syoot), and prior to that had been headmistress of a Presbyterian young lady in the right suburb of a highly respectable tax deduction.
The Premier catagorically denied, saying it had taken five generations to breed a candidate both beyond belief (turns page), I'm sorry, that should read a candidate both beyond suspicion, and not under investilgation, in this day and new age when everyone else is!
Terry: In the Murwillumbah Court of Fundamentally Petty Sessions today, a thirty five year old woman was transported to Tasmania, or somewhere worse, for re-growing a carrot from a carrot top. Regina Pulchritude reports:
Regina:
(very nasal) Ms. Anne Tipodean admitted to cultivating a seven year carrot, which she had regrown a total of eleven times. Ms. Tipodean is a member of the (disdainful-rolled Rs) Underground Grassroots Alliance Group. Police had been sent to her unit when she had refused to buy her allocation of carrot seed from the Lend Lease store in her street.
Terry: In sentencing her, Judge Blimey, the first indigenous woman to hold such a position, wept openly, proving that she too is human, but said this was "the worst case of non-participation THE STATE has witnessed".
Terry: Today's weather will be as sticky as a gumboot full of leeches.
Terry: Here is the train information: Whoa whoa, Chga chga chga chga chga chga chga chga. Whoo whoo. SSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssss
(thanks to Soozah Clark for the train info)
