A giant Kangaroo has been terrorising the residents of the isolated outback Australian Community of Beerswig Flats and locals fear it is the first of a new super breed of Rogue Roos infected by a mutant strain of Covid-19.

At the recent protests against vaccine mandates in Canberra, police deployed long-range acoustic devices (LRADs), which transmit at high volumes and frequencies. A spokesperson for the ACT Police has confirmed that LRAD's ( long range acoustic devices ) were deployed.

Jewish enclave, home of a deported nation, a present for the Ukrainians: The difficult history of Russian Crimea.
