In the wake of the fake bombs that have recently been found in both the UK Embassy in Jakarta (which no-one here even mentioned) and in the hotel in Bali, DFAT has reissued old warnings that they will pretend are new.
John Howard pretended to be in control of the situation by letting Alexander Downer think he knew what was going on. Mr Downer feigned concern and issued the following statement:
"In view of the faux threat of imitation bombs in Indonesia, the Australian pseudo-Government is seriously pretending to give a rat's ass, and so we unblatantly and misapropriately ill-advise you to pretend to be frightened and to misinform your acquaintences who think they're your friends that you intend to defer non-essential and antivital travel to all non-specific areas of possible but unlikely non-threatening but potentially worrying what the hell was I talking about?"
