Department of Australia @deptofaustralia
Leslie Nassar created Department of Australia (Hand-crafted, artisanal satire made from the finest Google image searches) in 2014. He was at times a games developer, a producer, a photographer, and a writer. In 2009, he was fired from Telstra for maintaining the Fake Stephen Conroy Twitter account. He occasionally appears on ABC TV’s Insiders with Mike Bowers and Talking pictures.rn rnIn addition to Department of Australia, Leslie is the co-founder of Wrangling Cats Pty Ltd, and created the software that manages the never-ending torrent of Tweets on ABC TV’s Q&A.

Wow! Today’s “Dept of Australia” is perhaps the only recent entry in this space that ticks all three boxes.
It’s intelligent, it’s funny, and it’s not irremediably obscure. Is this a “post First Dog” first?
Does this mean that we’ll soon get Captain Australia’s Seafood?
Gotta watch out for those Swordfish, not to mention the death rays… oh, sorry, electric mantras.
