Dear Reader,

Pirates in Queensland no longer have to hide their faces for fear of being identified by police and sent to prison for life.

This must be a great relief to all the pirates operating in Queensland’s balmy, tropical waters.

If i were a pirate, i think i’d like to be a pirate in Queensland. The weather is always perfect, and every sand bar has a Lara Bingle on it, some of them topless, and some with nipples poking out at you from beneath horrendous eye liner.

And now it seems my pirate dreams can come true.

Under section 80 of the current criminal code the definition of pirate includes any person who commits `robbery on the high seas otherwise than as an act of war and under the authority of some foreign prince or state’ [more]

But that law is to be dumped, or already has been… i’m foggy on the details.

Apparently they have some other law that stops you robbing ppl in boats.

So i can be a pirate, and wear all the piratical clobber, so long as i don’t rob anybody, dear Reader.

Huzzah!

OK, one last gratuitous link to a topless Lara Bingle photo, dear Reader, and you can go on your way.

Yourrrrrs,
Gullybogan
