HELICOPTER SHOOT OUT EXCLUSIVE ON ISLAND / MERMAID SHOCK HORROR

 While  checking  the  latest condition of   Magnetic Island's  mysterious  mutilated   mermaid , our Shipping Reporter, the only one  north  of the   Bass Strait  ,  became  caught  up  in  a  secret   Army  helicopter  operation.  

A  photographic promotion , it  seemed  to  consist  of   snapping  the  chopper   in   and   from  57  positions , an  athletic    cameraman  in   radio contact   with the  pilot  .  

 Most  of the  action  took  place   near  and  on   the  island's   medical  evacuation  helipad.

The Shipping  Reporter  said  one glance at the nearby   mistreated mermaid,  ,on   rocks at the entrance  to  the  safe harbour,  and it was obvious she  should be   choppered  out  for  urgent  medical treatment, once   more  her   head  missing , as   well   as   her  arms , an elongated neck visible,  down  which   a  hat   seemed  to have  been   pushed . 

Sensitive readers of  this  blog will recall , with horror ,  that  in  a previous  grotesque attack on the mermaid  , her   head was   ripped  off  and  replaced    with  a  cardboard  cut out  of  Prime  Minister  Scott  Morrison , who seems to  have  lost his  voice  since  being  booted out .  The poor mermaid has  suffered  other  indignities ,without the mainland media realising  this is an unsual story  that  deserves  coverage  , even-dare it be mentioned-  following  up .
