Yesterday, Tuesday 14 October, the NSW Parliament took time out from being massively corrupt to welcome the Sydney Harbour Seal to Sydney Harbour. And also to recommend a criminal lawyer in case it, too, is massively corrupt.
[SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE SEAL
THE Hon. Dr PETER PHELPS [10.47 p.m.]: On behalf of the New South Wales Parliament I welcome welcome the Sydney Opera House seal to Sydney Harbour and look forward to its continued presence over many years to come. Should it ever need a criminal lawyer I strongly recommend Andrew Tiedt.
Question-That this House do now adjourn-put and resolved in the affirmative.
Motion agreed to.
The House adjourned at 10.47 p.m. until 11.00 a.m. on Wednesday 15 October 2014]
A three year old New Zealand fur seal has been hanging out on the steps of the Sydney Opera House for a few weeks. When it first arrived the New South Welsh police were called (because Sydney, I guess), but it was officially welcomed by the New South Wales Parliament yesterday and also recommended to a criminal lawyer.
This is clearly a misleading recommendation as, if anything, the seal will require a migration agent. However given the current state of Australia’s immigration climate, the recommendation of a criminal lawyer may not be completely remiss.
Further complicating matters, and in long-standing tradition, Australia has already claimed the New Zealand seal for itself, naming it the Sydney Opera House Seal despite it clearly being a Kiwi. We expect the seal will be lounging around and claiming the dole shortly.

I await the Sydney Harbour Seal’s appearance at ICAC with interest. Is there an ETA on when it will appear in an advertisement for NewsLtd?
I hope that advertisement is filmed on a ferry. I bet it features in an advertisement for Tourism NSW, too.
In fairness, while I don’t understand why a seal would choose Sydney over Melbourne, it kind of almost makes me want to visit.
