Look still new to SWJ and posting so if this isn’t the place or the right sort of material then I apologise.
But…..working for Fairfax as I do, I spend a lot of time looking at our home page, the online version of the Sydney Morning Herald. This morning over fruit loops I saw this and just thought people may get a small moment of pleasure out of it.
As a news story goes it will be fairly mainstream, covered by AAP.
