Without anybody in the Townsville media noticing , the above featureless and badly faded portrait of Australia's first Catholic saint, Mother Mary MacKillop has been replaced with one which could have been designed for a before and after miracle cream to take away wrinkles , enhance ones finer features . Our Shipping Reporter , recovering after another medical event due to him having been impaled in both legs by a narwhale during the time he sailed before the mast , was being driven by the school on Saturday when he spotted the new look Mother Mary.
Unfortunately, because he was holding his vitals in case the Uber driver went over a bump , he could not whip out his camera and take a photo .
However , from what he saw , the fabulous portrait makes her look younger than the eye candy promo used for the presenter of A Current Affair.Our waterfront roundsman is claiming responsibility for Mary MacKillop being restored to her former Thin Lizzy glory in the tropics because he had highlighted her neglect for months. He reckons a lot of local scribes and Townsville Pharisees got lost yonks ago crossing the Dead Sea .
Because of his many years spent drifting about seedy docks, he intends to celebrate her smiling new countenance looking down on the traffic by adding Mary below the tattoo for his dear old Mother so that it reads Mother Mary .
