ACEH, INDONESIA: Noosa man Bodhi Mani Risby-Jones has blamed drinking half a bottle of vodka for his out-of-character, drunken and naked rampage here in the early hours of Thursday morning.

Shortly after midnight, Mr Risby-Jones (pictured at top) allegedly chased and struck residents in the Lantik Moonbeach Resort on Simeulue Island off the west coast of Sumatra. He was also accused of attacking a fisherman, causing a foot injury that required 50 stitches and broke a bone.

“Thank God I wasn’t drinking Bundy rum,” Risby-Jones said. “I would have killed someone.”

PERTH: A newly released photo of former Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has sparked rumours that she might be considering a return to federal politics.

The photo (below) seems to suggest Ms Bishop has lost her trousers, suggesting she still might harbour dreams of one day being a future, well-loved, Liberal prime minister.

A Liberal Party insider told The Bug: “Julie’s only problem is a simple one; is there still a safe Liberal seat left anywhere in Australia for her to contest?”
