#BREAKING: DNA testing confirms David Shoebridge and Adam Bandt are actually the same person

SEEING DOUBLE: Independent DNA testing has confirmed that David Shoebridge and Adam Bandt are the same Greens politician operating under two different names.

The samples reportedly returned a 100 per cent match, surprising everyone except voters who had already noticed the pair’s identical hairline, beard, glasses and speaking voice.

Some political analysts now believe Bandt may have undergone minor cosmetic surgery before re-emerging as the new Greens leader with a different name.

“The surgeon didn’t have to do much,” says one analyst. “Different glasses, a slightly closer shave and a blue shirt.”

Both men have rejected the findings and promised to hold a joint press conference as soon as they can find a time when they’re both available.
