Tasmanian Atty General decries wallaby destruction of legal opium crops
The Attorney General of the Australian State of Tasmania has decried destructive activity by marsupials against the nation’s opium crop. Australia provides more than 50% of the worlds legal opium.
Attorney General Lara Giddings testified to a parliamentary committee that wallabies are a security problem for the nation’s opium fields:
…we have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles.
Then they crash. We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high.

About Scanlyze
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Scanlyze is an online magazine of essays, commentary, satire, and analysis. Were we half as clever, for inspiration we would take Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Swift, Montaigne, or Seneca.
“The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation’s greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.”
John F. Kennedy, October 26, 1963
