QUEEN CITY OF NORTH QUEENSLAND GOES APE , DEVOURED BY REEF SCOURGE !!!

Declaration : Dear Readers , the following report   about the  Queensland  state election campaign from award winning  Canberra  based political reporter Argus Tuft had to be censored because it  included a photograph of a  candidate outrageously  described by uncouth CFMEU members and political  opponents  as  having  a  face  resembling   a   monkey's  arse!!! 

Instead of running  the monstrous and offensive mug shot  identifying  the unfortunate  person , we  publish the  following  snap  of  his swinging rich  uncle. 

While in Townsville , Queen city of the North , Argus Tuft  was surprised to learn that  despite all the talk about saving the Great Barrier  Reef , the RAAF  still bombs and  strafes  Rattlesnake  Island, not far from Townsville ,which it did only weeks ago, apparently with  little or no  media coverage .  

Quail Island ,near Darwin , in the Northern Territory, which figured in Dreamtime legends and was a green turtle breeding ground , used to be bombed by the RAAF and our Allies . However, the great Northern Territory News  crusading  editor, Jim Bowditch , currently revolving in his grave as is   Abraham Lincoln, campaigned  strongly against the exercises and they  stopped ,soon after a rocket dropped near the airport . 

Bombing now takes place on the mainland.

 Seems nobody  at the Townsville Bulletin ever thought to raise stopping  the Rattlesnake Island bombing as an issue for debate , especially in recent times with so much concern about the  reef.

 Former Queensland  premier Joh  Bjelke-Petersen , who did not mind if the reef was drilled for oil , laughingly pointed out Australia loved the Great Barrier Reef so much it used  it  as  a  bombing range. 

Wandering about the waterfront with Little Darwin's limping Shipping Reporter as his guide ,Argus Tuft spotted headquarters of the  Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. He thought he would  drop in and ask   its attitude to the use of Rattlesnake Island as a bombing  range  as well as many other questions about the state of the reef. There was, however, no  sign of life inside the locked  door, not one human at any of the many desks.  Our Shipping Reporter said this situation had existed for ages...the staff seemingly devoured  by  crown of thorns, or sucked up for anal examination by aliens on Planet Zog , like so many Americans who vote for Trump  .  Spooky.

UPCOMING : Irresponsible election  laugh-in  continues at  Townsville  Bulletin , part  of  the  under  attack  , accident- prone  Murdoch empire .
