Here's a weird little story. It seems that local officials in Queensland in Australia want the state to ban brothels within a certain distance from cemeteries.
Why in the world would a brothel build near a cemetery in the first place? Now someone did try to get a permit to build one across the road from a cemetery, but I can't quite understand why.
It follows a decision by a council in Ipswich, just outside the Queensland capital Brisbane, to reject a proposal for a brothel to be built across the road from the local cemetery.
Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio on Tuesday that cemeteries were places for quiet reflection by families who should not have to put up with "a brothel going on next door".
How odd.
This is the land of the didgeridoo and Vegamite. Don’t even try to figure it out.
I have a couple of regular readers from down under. Maybe they can shed some light on this.
