'Stoned wallabies make crop circles'

Australian wallabies are eating opium poppies and creating crop circles as they hop around "as high as a kite", a government official has said.

Lara Giddings, the attorney general for the island state of Tasmania, said the kangaroo-like marsupials were getting into poppy fields grown for medicine.

She was reporting to a parliamentary hearing on security for poppy crops.

Australia supplies about 50% of the world's legally-grown opium used to make morphine and other painkillers.

We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles. Then they crash....

The wallabies are disinformation agents, as Ani implied above. They are trained in the School of the Americas to simulate crop circles, post ultra right-wing letters to the editor, and subvert the dingos into anti-Crown activities.

There could be a market here. Pen a mob of wallabies permanently in an opium field. Periodically slaughter some (they wouldn't even notice...) and sell the meat in China at $10,000 per kg, marketing it as "Happy Meat"...

We have to diversify from coal and iron ore...

Camels certainly, but I haven't heard about the sand...

Bloody dangerous things in the outback, feral camels. Nearly collected one a couple of times on outback tracks - do a fuck of a lot more damage to a 4WD than a poor old roo...

However, I managed to stop in time...

Lot of sand gets imported to the Saudi peninsula, apparently they don't have the right kind of sand.

Can we export sandinista?

I'm sure he's the right kind...

(sorry, I meant left...)

(is the amount of brandy showing yet?)

Just a bit, Jim.


I like sandi .. leave him alone and debate his views, eh.
