According to THE GUARDIAN, His Majesty's Court has decided to censor Banksy's latest masterpiece, and none too soon, says senior barrister Nigel Butterworth-Snoddington, QC KC, F.R.S.L, of the distinguished firm Wotherspoon, Snoddington & Bunce LLP. "It's not just that I'm against these peasants doing art in public, which I am, it's the sheer laziness displayed by this Banksly character," he opined late yesterday. "I mean, he clearly had red paint, but couldn't be bothered to dab a bit on the gavel? You had best believe that when we in the courts bash some citizen protesting against war crimes committed by those who buy British weaponry, we do it hard enough to merit a good bloodstain or three. Rank amateurism, I say."

I took a video of a Lace Monitor in a clearing in the DaintreeRainforest! These reptiles, (Varanus varius) get their common name from the “lace-like” pattern on their skin - but their colloquial name, "tree goanna" has a more interesting derivation! Early colonists thought that monitor lizards were iguanas (which are actually found only in the Americas and Caribbean) - and their mispronounciation 'goanna' stuck in the language. The lace monitor is a strong climber, and is often found in trees - hence the colloquial "tree goanna"
