I think the whole paper is satire. This is also in there:

Seasonal change
Can someone explain why in Australia the seasons change miraculously on the first day of the month? We have just officially entered autumn on the 1 March when the sun is still on its journey to the Equator and won’t arrive there until 21 March when, in most other parts of the world, the seasons change – to autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
The sun keeps going north and arrives at the Tropic of Cancer on 21 June (not 1 June) – the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of winter in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere.
Why do the dates in Australia have to be different to the rest of the world?
