bullshit turnbull has a beer with a bullshit newspaper...

betoota

If you'd dropped into the Old Fitzroy Hotel in Woolloomooloo on Saturday afternoon, you may have stumbled upon an unexpected scene.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, normally cautious about the type of media appearances he agrees to, sat down at the Sydney pub for a boozy interview with satirical newspaper the Betoota Advocate, broadcast live on Facebook.

l love betoota...

The Betoota Advocate is a bullshit news outlet that not only does satire but is the king of fake news. Nothing at the Betoota is accurate or real. Everything is fake, false, erroneous and crap with a big pack of fun. That is why I like the Betoota... 

To see Malcolm be part of this Betoota charade makes him look even more useless than he ever was. 

I believe the Betoota Advocate website has crashed... from being inundated with hits...

coopers in the bible...

The story goes like this: the brewery is owned by the Coopers family, who have been long time donors to the Bible Society along with other religious and conservative groups (including being one of the largest donors to the SA Liberal Party). 

And thus they celebrated their relationship with the Bible Society by putting out a commemorative beer celebrating 200 years of the Society. And the way the Bible Society put it, it was an actual partnership.

According to their "Keeping It Light" page, "Bible Society Australia has teamed up with Coopers Premium Light to ask Australians to try "Keeping it Light" - a creative campaign to reach even more Australians with God's word". 

Accompanying this little statement was a video of a conversation between MPs Tim Wilson and Andrew Hastie in which they outlined their positions on marriage equality (Wilson is pro, Hastie is anti), and then agreed that other people are doing the marriage equality debate wrong and that Q&A is terrible, while drinking Coopers Light in Parliament House because presumably this is good use of their publicly supported time...

outback on the piss again...

A pub left to decay in a ghost town in the middle of the stark desert plain of Queensland's channel country is set to serve up its first beer in over two decades in the coming months.

The abandoned former customs post of Betoota sits about 170 kilometres east of the nearest populated town, Birdsville.

Robert "Robbo" Haken fell in love with Betoota and its hotel when he frequented it in its heyday in the 1960s and 1970s. 

So it was a "dream come true" when he bought the pub just before Christmas.

"It's just a beautiful piece of Australian history and it has so much character," he said.

...

In recent times, Betoota is perhaps best known as the town that inspired the name of the satirical online publication the Betoota Advocate — although its writers are based in Sydney.

"I think they [The Betoota Advocate] put Betoota back on the map because of their larrikin style of reporting," Mr Hake said.
