I kid you not!

FORMER Sydney Olympic chief Sandy Hollway is Australia’s first whale envoy. Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett announced the appointment today, fulfilling a Labor election commitment.

“Mr Hollway’s appointment builds on the intensive diplomatic engagement the Rudd Labor government has undertaken to date and will see Australia deepen our dialogue with leaders in Japan and other countries ahead of the southern summer,” Mr Garrett said.

I wait with baited breath for a raft of announcements pertaining to Kangaroo, wombat and shark envoys.
