Default DFAT Warning about Perth

http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/...843295477.html

According to a Department of Foreign Affairs travel advisory email sent out last night, the city is indeed a hotbed of nefarious activity come autumn time.

"This is a message to let you know that Perth is dangerous at this time of year," read the DFAT email, which was sent to about 8000 subscribers.

How bizarre Why did this bloke decide that Autumn was specifically dangerous? "too cold for the beach today,... d'ya fancy some nefarious activity?"

Must be referring to the next meeting of the Perth Ladies - why don't they issue warnings like that before the Brissie Girls Drinking Nights?

I think this e-mail is funny when you consider the over the top nature of some of the real DFAT warnings.
