Police have spent the early hours of this morning engaged in a tense standoff with the alleged graffiti vandal behind Pam the Bird.

The bird allegedly abseiled the Bolte Bridge between 2-3 this morning and painted the iconic bird character atop the 120 metre structure.’

Docklands residents are rejoicing as this is the most exciting thing to happen in their area since the Bird painted the observation wheel. 

Unfortunately for the Treasury, the Bird has somehow managed to turn this death defying stunt into a conversation about tax reform. 

Going live on Instagram this morning the bird squawked his demands. 

“I’m not coming down till they lower the taxes, fucking sick of paying that shit”

“I want a peanut butter and jam sandwich and a glass of milk, or I’m not coming down,” he said. 

Federal treasurer Jim Chalmers was doing laps of Berrinba Wetlands early this morning when he was contacted and briefed on the developing situation. 

Chalmers, who has engaged in good faith with some pretty unreasonable economic demands from all sides, is reportedly open to hearing the bird out. 

The Advocate understands that police will organise a phone line between Chalmers and the bird to discuss tax reform. 

Pam the Bird, who allegedly scaled the cheese stick and transformed the Flinders Street clock is about to undergo his biggest challenge yet, discussing tax reform with a student of Keating. 

More to come.
