SuperNaomi, saviour of small children



"This sounds like the story for which Naomi Robson would get off her arse and think 'LOGIE!'"
-Gam

I was being way too optimistic when I said this morning that it appeared that Today Tonight wanted to do a story on the plight of West Papuans when they were busted entering the province on tourist visas.

Nope, West Papuans under the murderous rule of Indonesia can continue to burn for all Naomi Robson cares. Get this- the word from the good people at Today Tonight is:


Robson and a Today Tonight crew say they were trying to save a Papuan orphan from being eaten by his cannibal tribe when they were detained by Indonesian authorities this week.

[...]

Today Tonight was following up on a Nine Network report about an orphaned boy, Wah-Wah, who was going to be killed and eaten at some stage in the next 10 years.

When Nine refused to go in and rescue the boy, Today Tonight stepped in, leading to the crew being detained, the program claimed


They are pointing the bone at Channel Nine, for dobbing them in to the Indonesian authorities.

Of course, the boy might be lucky not to die of malaria or some other horrible disease during the next 10 years, but that's not a concern for SuperNaomi and the TTTeam.

What would have happened if they'd succeeded in bringing the boy back? Would he have been locked up on Nauru?

This story just keeps getting better and better!

I can't say I'm shocked that the "journalists" on those kind of shows are still doing the whole playground "dibber-dobber" routine.

Yeah that's hilarious. I laughed and laughed and laughed.

Do ... do you think she wore her Khaki memorial Irwin top?

I bet when the Indons pulled them into the room she yelled 'Crikey!'
