Sorry, but that is not funny. It's a joke at the expense of a woman whose baby actually was taken by a dingo, but whom nobody at the time believed and was sent to gaol for the offence of murdering her own child.

She was later aquitted after further evidence supporting her account came to light, but not before having gone through years of ridicule and literal imprisonment.
