WASHINGTON: In a fine gesture, the famous Federal Bureau of Investigation is sending the stretched Australian Federal Police a Junior G-Man Kit to help it resume the investigation into the fake letter sent from Energy Minister Angus Taylor's office to the Daily Telegraph which falsely claimed Sydney City Council mayor Clover Moore had spent an absolute motza on overseas travel .
Astoundingly , the AFP did not interview Taylor and others who might be able to throw light on the outrage . This failure stunned the FBI , so it decided to send the AFP a Junior G-Man Kit in a J. Edgar Hoover gift pack .
These kits , endorsed by FBI agent Melvin Purvis, who brought John Dillinger and Pretty Boy Floyd to justice, were distributed in vast numbers to patriotic American boys who became operatives to help detect subversives and also support crime fighters.
An FBI spokesman said the average teenage American Junior G-Man , suffering from acne , following the manual in the kit , would automatically have interviewed Minister Taylor to crack the case . He said the G-Man kit would help the AFP reopen the investigation . It would also be handy in any inquiry into the sportsrort slush fund caretaker mode phantom creative letter writing .
The invaluable kit has a chapter on how to deal with troublesome journalists which includes a rubber truncheon for use in soundproof interview rooms . It warns some journalists hide state secrets in their Gorgeous Gussies .
