The Betoota Advocate Round-up
The Betoota Advocate
A collection of the best plus a host of new material from ‘Australia’s oldest newspaper’, a hugely popular online satirical ‘news’ service The BETOOTA ADVOCATE claims to hail from the Queensland town of Betoota and be Australia’s oldest newspaper. Since venturing online in 2014, it has quickly become a player in online ‘news’ and entertainment, punching far above its weight, given not a word of it is true, and it was launched by three young blokes with not much more than a laptop and a distinctively larrikin Aussie humour. Several of its so-called ‘news’ stories have been reported as fact by major news services, including Channel Nine, which reran the story of a parking policeman who booked himself, and radio 4BC, which re-reported the story of 78-year-old Reg ‘Slim’ Flynn, a former prize fighter who took out three would-be home invaders.Now it’s time to bring together the Betoota’s best stories with a host of new material, including news, sport, human interest, crosswords – even the classifieds – in an inhale-on-Christmas-day-and-make-your-drunk-uncle-laugh collection.‘The Betoota Advocate shall reign supreme as the global purveyor of eternal truth’ – Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce
