This is great. Senator Fielding got tricked by Senator Conroy. Fielding has now described himself as "less intelligent" and wants these pranks BANNED!!!


OUTGOING Victorian Senator Steve Fielding has launched an ambitious plan to ban the telling of lies on April 1 to help stem the ‘‘ever-growing annual tradition of playing practical jokes on less intelligent Australians.’’

“The pranks have gotten more nasty and more tricky,’’ Senator Fielding said.

‘‘Today, Senator [Stephen] Conroy told me that there was a mistake in the counting at the election and I will be coming back to the Senate in July.’’

The Family First senator, who lost his seat at last year’s election, said banning lies on April 1 would be a sensible measure to protect gullible Australians.

‘‘I was so happy that I released a press release, but then everyone started laughing and the horrible joke became clear. It’s unfair, and I won’t stand for it.”

“One of the hardest things about “April’s Fool Day” is remembering when it is on,” Senator Fielding said.

“It’s a different day each year, like Easter, and for a busy Senator like me it’s really hard to stay ahead of these kinds of things.”
