Humour is a great nonviolence tool- Skillshare @ Facebook
The image of the Australian prime minister being manhandled on Australia Day is so fake. If it represents anything at all, it demonstrates the mediocrity of Australian press standards. "Australian PM rescued amid protests"
Meet the peculiar character known only as REG - a runaway Victorian claiming to be a former scriptwriter of Australian soap opera Neighbours. Orchestrator of the piece - The Great Australia Day Debacle
Hear Reg confess to betraying the ancient guild of writers and the entire social history of Australian Women The Violence Inherant in the System
FOLLOW an even faker story. AS CAIRNS INDY-MEDIA UNCOVERS THE TRUTH continued below...
Life Imitates Art- and Bad television?

REG: "Yes that's right - Australia the Cultural Narrative - it goes into QLD's new-media studies curriculum as a textbook in 2014. But that's not why I am calling..."
The more than slightly whacky REG then claims to have written- The Great Australia Day Debacle
Cairns Indy-Media : Crikey Reg - apart from Shane Warne the musical Reg, that's the dumbest idea ever. Cinderella Part 2012 - it's passe - I'd've gone moderne. Female protagonist kicks bodyguards arse so bad "missing shoe found in back pocket" She throws the other shoe at Tony Abbot before she dragging him off by the lug into the crowd for a history making display of comunication skill, knowledge of conflict resolution techniques an' general all round Australianess'
REG: "Yeah mate I wrote the whole sorry piece. It reads like a soap opera. I even wrote the bit about the lost slipper. I knew what I was doing - I couldn't help it though. I'm an artist - the desire to use symbolism and psychological archetypes was too strong to resist.
I was rusty, and when my chance came to shine - I was working with amateurs. I left far too much room for improvisation.
