A BATTLE between a transgender witch and a Christian councillor will unfold in the discrimination courts this week.


She said one man had come to her door and beat her about the head in an effort to exorcise her. "I no longer have a social life because I'm scared to go out of the house," she said.

Actually it's AU, not BC, and I don't think it's very funny - but from the same paper, a somewhat lighter article:

JOGGERS around Melbourne's popular Tan track aren't running as far or as fast as they thought.

Ack! I'm so dumb. I didn't notice that. I just looked at the thread. My mistake. Moving this to "The Rest of the World" forum.

(Thanks, Hugh. Welcome to babble!)
