In the latest development from Australia, a kangaroo court is reportedly preparing for a landmark case against one of the nation’s most passionately ignorant activists. It seems even the lawyers are hopping mad about this one. Derek Dingo Dunkerley, a notorious outlaw activist known for his bizarre eco-terrorist stunts and profound misunderstanding of climate change, is expected to face a jury of his peers next week. However, in a perplexing twist straight out of a children’s book, his peers will be impressively stern kangaroos. At least, that's how the term ‘kangaroo court’ works, right? Mr. Dunkerley is charged with a plethora of offences, chief among them being an illegal importation of Himalayan spotted lizards, 5,000 of them to be exact. A staunch supporter of controlled mayhem, Dunkerley thought the lizards were an endangered breed and 'rescued' them, planning to set them loose in the Australian outback in a species relocation effort. However, much to his embarrassment (and amusement of millions online), these lizards were neither endangered nor actually lizards. They were plastic toys from a children's ride hailing from Delhi! This is a huge relief to Australian fauna but a grave disappointment for Dunkerley, who had graciously offered to personally lick each lizard (not a euphemism) in order to help them acclimate to the new environment. Unfortunately, Dunkerley discovered the true nature of his lizard brethren when one of them squeaked under the pressure of his misplaced affection, surely a unique experience for the toy enthusiast. While he may be certain that climate change is intrinsically linked to the number of avocados consumed per capita, Dunkerley's mishap has only further confounded his few remaining loyal followers. Meanwhile, Australia's legal eagles are busy untangling the dense thicket of Dunkerley’s actions that have led to this farce. The only saving grace is that the court case is sure to be anything but dull. An elusive jury of kangaroos reportedly await the activist on the horizon, preparing to deliberate on Dunkerley's strange combination of enthusiasm, ignorance, and unrequested reptilian saliva. Dunkerley's legal counsel, attorney B.B. Koala, accredited solely in eucalyptus tree law, has his work cut out for him. Koala, known for doing all of his work 'in his pajamas', is confident that he can sway the court with his charm and multitude of hilarious anecdotes. We wish Dunkerley, his plastic lizard collection and, of course, the kangaroo court, all the best in this latest episode of absurdity in the 'Down Under'. Whether this will result in the blockbuster of the summer or a direct-to-DVD release, one thing is certain: Australia’s finest indeed have their hands full!
