Preparations for Pope's visit?????

In a centrefold satirical take of the year 2007 in the Sydney Morning Herald (does not seem to be online).
"Sydney began its preparation for a papal visit at Royal Randwick racecourse, chosen for its ample experience in dealing with small men in ridiculous sik clothing. The NSW Parliament also made last minute amendments to smooth his visit: banning protesters and advertising(True), and re-legalising homosexual vilification."
