"News" From Australia

This is many years old, but it is funny...



A little Google search turns up the following facts about this video:
This "interview" appears very much like a Saturday Night Live skit because it is in fact a comedy sketch from the early 1990s, the parts of the politician and interviewer being played by Australian television comedy duo John Clarke and Brian Dawe as they discuss an oil spill that occurred on July 21, 1991 when the Greek tanker Kirki lost its bow off the coast of Western Australia.

In this mock interview, Clarke portrays Minister for Shipping Bob Collins making repeated references to the ship whose "front fell off."
