For anyone unfamiliar with the reference, here is Senator Bob Collins of Australia explaining what happens when a tanker ship is towed beyond the environment:

It seems like you might have eaten the onion, I'm afraid: that's not senator Bob Collins, it's satirist John Clarke.

You mean the same John Clarke whose name is in the URL at the bottom of the video? Who would have guessed!

Let me share a comedy tip with you. This video is funny even if you already know the joke - I crack up every time I see it - but it's even more fun to watch it for the first time not knowing that it is satire.

Don't worry, everyone will figure it out halfway through...

It seems you might not understand context.
