80 000 jailed butts have received a new home after months of negotiation between Maroochy Waterwatch management and butt inmate representatives.  The 80 000 butts inside the jails are all escapee butts caught in the act of trying to go for a swim in our waterways and oceans so they could torture turtles and degrade our water quality.  The Butt Muster covert operations earlier this year, lead by chief butt hunter Suzie Temple, rounded up the butts throughout the coast that had somehow escaped from the usual confines of cigarette ashtrays or rubbish bins.  One energetic butt was even seen leaping out of a car window in a quest to make it to a waterway!   In other places such as parks,  the butts seem work in more coordinated fashion with an on-mass movement to the waterways.

In the last few months there was a breakdown in communication between the Maroochy Waterwatch guards and the butt inmates.  The keeping of such large numbers of butts who are determined to make it to our waterways requires delicate skills in inmate negotiation.   The butts believed they were owed better confinement conditions and unfortunately a riot between the butt inmates occurred which resulted in considerable damage to their old jail premises.  A new portable butt jail has now been built with better living conditions.  Security has also been ramped up with lockable lids to ensure no possible butt escape.
