There was a reporter who swallowed a fly…
Reporting from rural Queensland is never an easy task, something Steven Schubert, the ABC’s Alice Springs reporter, illustrated during a live TV cross about Birdsville’s beer supplies being under threat.
Dr Mumbo doesn’t know why he swallowed a fly. Perhaps he’ll die.
Alternatively, he might simply go down in the ‘reporters who swallowed flies’ hall of fame, which is a surprisingly busy place.
Even if Steven doesn’t make the hall of fame, his bosses in Melbourne seemed impressed.
"And I've just swallowed a fly on live TV!"
Take a bow, @senorschubert, that was a seamless was to end the cross to Birdsville!#WashItDownWithABeer pic.twitter.com/pvrS8VUzm1
