Kirribilli House "up for sale".
A prankster has placed a bogus ad in the Fairfax Newspapers' online real
estate site "Domain", offering Kirribilli House for sale.

Fairfax decided to let the ad (worthy of The Chaser) go ahead, as it was
obviously a joke.

"Far superior to any old Lodge in Canberra, this house fits a family of five and provides the ultimate abode in which to be relaxed and comfortable," the listing reads.

"Perfect place to view Sydney's fireworks - especially during events like the APEC long weekend . . . ideal for extra-curricular fund-raising activities."

The listing also features a photograph of Mr Howard walking at the rear of the home and a man standing outside Kirribilli House wearing a "Kevin 07" T-shirt.

It continues: "Tried twice before to evict the current tenant and it's looking like it's third time lucky".

Clever and funny (this is what joke looks like, Jackie Kelly) in the
best larrikin tradition.
