Our resident and globally recognised sexologist responds to a reader’s concerns about the health of one prominent ex-Aussie.
Dear Doctor Dick
As a Redland Bay resident I was fascinated by a front-page story yesterday in the weekly News Crap Australia turdbloid The Sunday Mail that canvassed the legal arguments currently under way as part of a native title claim made by representatives of Aboriginal people in the Redlands area. (below)
I was fascinated for several reasons.
First, I wondered why News Crap Australia would suddenly take an interest in a native title claim that has been under way since 2017.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the referendum on the Voice to Federal Parliament for First Nations is only a few weeks away and is an opportunity to drum up a trademark News Crap Australia scare campaign? Surely not!
Second, my first reason for being fascinated by the story was strengthened when I noticed a key fact missing from the Sunday Mail’s main story.
That fact is – as the Redland City Council itself has clearly stated – that the native title claim affects only a specific list of public lands.
I would have thought that a responsible news outlet might have made prominent that the title claim “does not include land in private or public freehold ownership, such as houses and businesses”, in the words of the council’s own website.
It was left to an academic interviewed for a sidebar story to make that point which was buried in a single-column item that did try hard to link the claim to the Voice.
Perhaps, again, the fact that the main story didn’t make that point has something to do with the referendum on the Voice being only a few weeks away and is an opportunity to drum up a trademark News Crap Australia scare campaign? Again, surely not!
I am not a user of social media, but I bet that since the paper appeared yesterday, fake claims about native title taking over people’s front, and back yards and their Hills hoists in the Redland area are probably rampant – and are making a direct but non-existent link to the Voice.
The third point that fascinated me, and this is where I require your expert medical assistance, was uncovered in the research that I undertook after reading the Sunday Mail item.
I came across a photo online of News Crap head honcho Rupert Murdoch and noticed that his chin, if you look closely, makes his face very much resemble what could easily be mistaken for a very unhealthy if not malignant female sex organ.
Am I correct in my description of Mr Murdoch, or do my eyes deceive me?

Doctor Dick replies:
Dear Redlands Reader
No, your eyes do not deceive you.
Mr Murdoch has for most of his life exhibited the condition known by its medical term vaginus physiognomus.
Most reasonable news consumers know that fact and make allowances for it when reading anything in the outlets he controls.
