LONDON: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has promised to import rejected Australian bananas when he pulls out of the EU. This has prompted a move by financially bent North Queensland banana growers to erect statues to Boofheaded Boris in places like Tully and Ingham, depicting him as King Twisty Banana .
In its brilliant series on waste , the Australian Broadcasting Commission revealed that a large part of the North Queensland banana crop goes straight to the dump because Woolworths and Coles won't accept fruit which they regard as being too bendy, too big .
While banana growers are dancing in the streets following Johnson's royal banana edict , Canberra has got itself in a twist . It seems the Morrison government has plans to give people struggling on Newstart and Barnaby Joyce packs of reject bananas in Operation Let Them Eat Bananacake .
