Barack Obama will visit Australia tomorrow, and the US President isn’t taking any chances with those fearsome Aussie crocs. He’s been issued with a crocodile attack insurance policy, which will pay out more than $50 000 on the off-chance that he should be fatally attacked during his tour of crocodile-infested Darwin, where Crocodile Dundee was set.
The insurance company responsible for the policy, Australian firm TIO, has assured everyone who’s interested that their croc package is a “unique product for a unique environment”, and hopes that Barack will consider his new reptile insurance a memento of his time in the country.
Two people are killed in an average year by the man-eating salt-water crocs of Australia, known by locals as “salties”. They can grow up to seven metres in length and weigh upwards of a tonne.
