The mutilated fibreglass mermaid at the entrance to Magnetic Island now has a plastic bottle jammed into the cavity where her head used to be , according to our vigilant Shipping Reporter, who took this exclusive photograph . The waterfront roundsman , the only one north of Coogee Bay, Sydney, says he is gathering some interesting follow up news on the poor mermaid, which will be revealed soon .
Her arrival and subsequent mistreatment , including the ripping off of her head and arms not properly covered by the mainland media. In one outrageous event, she was topped with a repulsive drawing of Prime Minister Scott Morrison's kisser on a piece of cardboard .
Where else in the world would a lifesize mermaid turn up at the entrance of a tourist attraction, sit there for many months , sport a PM's head , and receive so little coverage from the local media , which deserves to be regularly jabbed with King Neptune's rusty trident ?
