The satire was so on point. A sample of the text:
A third article gracing the front page features a shot of the recently elected Australian Prime Minister. He is lying naked with a come-hither smile, a national flag artfully covering his private parts. He is on a bed of flags, on a floor of flags. The caption says he is ready to confide in his beloved compatriots the economic benefits of climate catastrophe. The headline of the article is 'I Love a Sunburnt Country'.
The final lines are from a well-known Australian poem. It's been used in tv advertising from the 70s to now.
