In this urgent second issue of "Australia's Most Self-important Quarterly", we travel the world on The Chaser's expense account to find the best places to visit before they're destroyed by the relentless pursuit of economic growth at all costs. Includes special tips on how to get great Instagram photos of places that are about to be despoiled, and how to get the locals to look hauntingly miserable for your holiday snaps to show to your friends. Plus, we feature Sean Penn's second-ever foray into journalism (and hopefully his last) as he exclusively visits reclusive Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, on the pretext of making a movie about him. And if that isn't enough, this issue features a special pull-out* section of The Chaser's Dictionary of Biography, featuring in-depth write-ups of Australia's former Prime Ministers. Also in this - In-depth, one-sentence reports on all the major world events - ChaserLeaks of Peter Dutton's emails - A look back at how in hell Canberra was founded - A special photo essay from a Donald Trump rally - A gratuitous and legally unwise swipe at Chevron's approach to tax - We learn the hard way that clickbait doesn't work in eBooks, and - Willie Nelson spills the beans on how he broke Twitter by smoking all of the hashtags. The Chaser Quarterly 2: It's Everything You Want it to Be, and Nothing You Don't * it is pull-out in this eBook edition only if you're prepared to tear the screen from its plastic casing
Authors
You may know The Chaser from such television hits as The Chaser’s War on Everything and The Chaser’s Media Circus. But did you know that The Chaser actually started as Australia’s first miner of brown coal in the 1890s? To protect its vast profits, The Chaser Oil Corporation, set up a small, cheeky publication called The Chaser to deflect attention away from its illegal mining operations and recreational koala-shooting activities. Over a century later in 2005, the newspaper, koala-shooting and mining operations ceased, so that the team could concentrate on managing its asbestos mines in China. Unfortunately, the profitability of using asbestos as a way to pad out baby-milk formula proved somewhat over-optimistic, and the team was forced into the indignity of hosting popular television shows just to make ends meet. Some even ended up on Channel 7. And so, nearly 600 years after Gutenburg invented the printing press, and nearly five years after the team last updated its website, The Chaser has decided to return to its roots, in the form of The Chaser Quarterly.
