There was an oil tanker spillage on August 19th, 2007 off the coast of Australia when a tanker split in two, dumping 20,000 tons of crude oil.
Senator Collins, then a member of the Australian Parliament, appeared on a TV news programme to reassure the Australian public.

It was very well done, and would equal Monty Python's 'Dead Parrot' for tongue in cheek sillyness, but It MUST be a spoof? ;D ;D ;D :y

Found this on Wiki. Sorry everyone, it aint real:
During Collins' term as Minister for Shipping, on July 21, 1991, the Greek oil tanker Kirki in Australian waters lost its bow in rough seas, and 17,280 tons of light crude oil were spilled. The tanker was subsequently towed further away from the coastline and salvaged.[4] Collins' response to this was the subject of a famous parody interview by the satirists John Clarke and Bryan Dawe, in which Clarke, playing Collins, repeatedly refers to the ship of which "the front fell off."[5]
