The government lets one rip

THE ABC has come under fire for wasting taxpayers' money on a new website which encourages children to "make better farts".

The Federal Government is outraged that the national broadcaster axed the popular children's show Behind The News because of a lack of funding, but managed to find money to teach kids how to break wind more effectively.

Another section titled "celebrity farts" asks high-profile Australians to recall their fondest farting memory. Stephen Curry, star of the hit film The Castle, tells young readers of his best effort "in the summer of '89".
