1. Big Brother creators commited to trial for crimes against humanity.
2. Aliens searching for intelligent life land in Canberra, leave shortly after very disillusioned.
3. Designer of AU falcon charged with industrial espionage.
4. Pink Floyd reunite for pub tour of Queensland.
5. All Melbourne based AFL teams move to other states to give them a chance to win the premiership.
6. Sydneysiders in shock when proof is found that the centre of the Universe is somewhere else.
7. Pro government newspaper admits that speed cameras are actually revinue raisers and motorcycles are avoiding payment by having no front number plate making it unfair to car users who have a "minor lapse in concentration".

(Actually that is EXACTLY the lead story on the front page of the Sunday Mail in Brisbane today)

WINE/SEAFOOD ELIXIR FOR LONG LIFE– SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH.
Results from a worldwide scientific study have found conclusive evidence that consumption of red wine and fresh seafood together on a regular basis actually reverse the ageing process. Extensive clinical trials have shown that men in particular have reported over a 6 month trial period, wrinkle disappearance, muscle development, increased energy, hair regrowth and extreme virility. The Federal Health Department is seriously considering placing many red wine and seafood varieties on a rebate scheme similar to pharmaceutical benefits.
