Another Chaser stunt under police investigation

The Chaser is again in trouble with NSW Police, this time over a complaint in which a ticking parcel was delivered to the office of Energy Australia. The sketch was designed to see just how far couriers could go delivering crazy items.

The courier routine aired this week on the ABC, but without the offending delivery to Energy Australia. But you can see the same item used elsewhere in the sketch here.

“Police received a complaint from a business regarding an attempt to leave a suspect package at a location in the city and are investigating to determine if a criminal offence occurred,” a NSW Police Force spokesman said.

“In these days of global terrorism the community expects the police to respond to potential threats,” NSW Police Minister David Campbell told the Nine Network.

An ABC statement said, “The Chaser chose the loudest and most deliberately comical ticking to ensure that the people involved in the filming could not think it was any real threat.”

    WTF?!

    This whole “terrorist” thing is a bloody witchhunt. My dad was held up at the airport last year, and he was eventually the last person to board the plane (suspecting him purely on the grounds that he has a moustache).

    Another relative also had his expensive prescription medicine and other valuables confiscated from him as he was also suspected of being a “terrorist”. 😐

    Just how many of these suspects are actual “terrorists” anyway? 0% no doubt. >:(
