Parody letterhead: DELIVERING FOR QUEENSLAND, a four-legged rooster and centaur coat of arms, FEDERAL Government FISHERIES (satire, not a real government logo)

A four-legged rooster and a centaur. Parody satire.

Annual report 2025–26

All figures in this report are fictional. Every number was made up for comedic purposes. None of them measures anything.

Registrar's foreword

It is my privilege to present the Registry's 39th Annual Report. During the reporting period the Registry processed more forms than in any previous year, the majority of them being requests for forms. The Registry approved more than one million bubble nests, three of which are still standing. We held 4,112 arbitrations between fish and their reflections, and I am pleased to report a perfect record of draws.

The Registry did not locate the front of a round bowl, or Part 3 of the Bubble-Nest Planning Regulations 1994. The Registry did, however, locate a sandwich of historical interest. I thank every staff member, every fish and the snail, whose objections were noted, disregarded and appreciated.
