PERTH — Fictional campaigner Ena Moffat has printed Bridie Amendment leaflets on the reverse of old shopping lists.

“Gherkins got a mention,” she said. “Pastry wants a paragraph.”

Her MP has not responded. Her oven has.

The real story: Fictional.

The views expressed are those of the reader, and frankly that's on them.

  1. Ena’s leaflets are on my fridge. The oven supports her.

  2. Gherkins have not replied. Classic.
