Is it just me or is The Betoota Advocate getting more and more on point with reality these days? I mean it's meant to be satirical but it rings so true.

Or sometimes I find myself reading other news articles and because they sound so unbelievable that I think the Betoota haven't written them in secret, but they haven't and the conventuals press has just gone mad!

maarsen Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Up here in Canada, I have been watching Rake on Netflix. Is the show an extreme satire or do politicians regularly end up in handcuffs in your part of the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the odd one but they're usually local politicians rather than anyone important, unfortunately. Plus if we started arresting politicians here we might cause an international incident as most are agents for another country. We once lost a Prime Minister via submarine to China and an Iranian Australian senator recently said he would not contest next election as he is owned by Chinese interests. I can't remember how many but the high court is going through some politicians to check they aren't citizens of another country. Already lost a few. Politicians are a joke here as much as, if not more than, everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cause of his disappearance is unknown but the defection to china in a submarine is one of the more amusing parts of Australian political folklore. Usually gets ruined at dinner parties by the guy nobody remembers inviting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
