Wombat rapist
I thought this news report might lighten the mood after the Ministerial announcement of today.
Man sentenced over wombat rape claim
A New Zealand man has been sentenced to community service after telling police he had been raped by a wombat and the experience had caused him to start speaking "Australian".
Arthur Cradock, a 48-year-old orchard worker from Motueka on South Island, rang police on February 11 to say he was being raped by the slow-moving Australian marsupial at his home, The Nelson Mail reported.
He rang back soon afterwards to say he was withdrawing his complaint against the wombat, a court was told.
"Apart from speaking Australian now, I'm pretty all right you know," he told police in the second call.
Cradock pleaded guilty to using a phone for a fictitious purpose and was sentenced to 75 hours community work.
Prosecutors said alcohol played a large part in Cradock's life, although his defence lawyer said he was not drunk on the afternoon of the phone calls.

Here is another one from the stange news files
Fishing champion arrested for 'catching' dead fish
Police in the north-west Nigerian state of Kebbi, home to the Argungu fishing festival, have released this year's champion on bail after he was arrested last week for allegedly smuggling his winning monster catch already dead into the river.
The fishing champion, called Bello Argungu, was arrested on suspicion of having smuggled a dead 65 kilogram fish into the river before the start of the festival.
He then pulled his "catch", which drew gasps of admiration, out of the river and walked off with prizes that included a car and air tickets.
Argungu has been stripped of his title and had his prizes confiscated, Muktari Ibrahim, Kebbi State Commissioner of Police, said, adding that the suspect would be arraigned in court "soon".
The Argungu fishing festival is one of the most spectacular cultural festivals in Nigeria.
