Constable Kenny Koala, who has been teaching kids to respect the law for over 30 years, has just received an award winning update to his image, to make him more relatable.

Here we see the newer, hipper, Constable Kenny doing the kind of cool things that cool kids do, like crossing a road or not understanding which side of an iPad to interact with.

Does he still roll around in a Hyundai Accent? ‘Cause I always felt a little sorry for him, what with all the other cops getting HSV utes and the like.

Actually, he drove past me this morning. Appears he is rolling in a Kia nowadays.

You don’t turn your iphone around to take a selfie!

Whatever Kenny is seeing on the back of that iPad, he likes it a tad too much. Note the tongue. He’s a naughty slavering koala.

Nah, he’s just reading the engraved message on his new iPad. It says ‘Well done for 30 years of service to the ACT community. Three cheers, the citizens of Canberra.’
That’s enough to make him happy. You’ve just got a dirty mind! 🙂

… and he doesn’t look too happy taking those kids across the street, either.

I’m certain I remember a press release some years ago about him being promoted to Senior Constable.

He’s obviously done something wrong to lose the rank. Or maybe the extra responsibility was just too much for him to handle.

He just didn’t have the gumnuts to cope.

Wow, 30 years and still hasn’t been promoted, time for a new career Kenny.

He didn’t fare well after what came out at the Wood Royal Commission.

Too much to ‘bear’ maybe?

I hope he doesn’t grizzle about these things

He’s taking a selfie – one of the most “now” things you can do. Respect.

I know two of the characters look very familiar, straight out of the Strepsils commercials: http://www.visit4ads.com/sitecontent/LG/fullZZZZZZTVD081007112216PDC.jpg

It’s a shame Kenny only seems to like white children.

Judging by the images and videos on his website, Constable Kenny could do with a visit from his cousin, Cultural Diversity Koala.

I think the angle of the ipad is jsut deceiving. he is really presenting something to an audience therefore facing the screen towards us.

I’m young enough to vaguely remember Kenny Koala as a child. I still reckon I thought he was a dork, even back then.

Is he taking those children to buy some Strepsils?

“to make him more relatable”

He’s a frickin’ talking drop bear!

Kenny’s last rebrand was after he regretfully assaulted some one eyed albino children with the yellow pages.

He looks like he’s now wondering which side of the iPad would leave less bruises…

Hopefully he wins a webby award, and his website is bobby approved…

It’s just like The RiotACT to assume the worst out of our poor constabulary. He’s a koala, cut him some slack. Maybe he’s just checking which model it is?

I’m more worried about the two children he’s kidnapping.
