An ABC reporter has called her son Methamphetamine Rules in the name of journalism.
Kirsten Drysdale told A Current Affair host Ally Langdon she did it for ABC’s programme WTFAQ, which answers audience questions.
Viewers were asking questions about baby names and what parents could legally call their child, but Drysdale couldn’t get a clear answer from the Department of Deaths, Births and Marriages.
“What we were trying to find out was what the registrar names a baby if the parents don’t come up with an acceptable name, because that’s what actually happens if parents don’t lodge a name that’s acceptable,” she told Langdon.
“So we thought, well, we’re in the perfect position to find out … we’ll lodge a name that’s so outrageous that it couldn’t possibly be accepted.”
