Oh yeah...
I've had letters to the editor published in every major newspaper in Australia. The trick is to write short letters, less than 50 words. You can write whatever the fuck you want and some lazy fucker with an hour to go before the end of their shift and one more space to fill will run it without checking name or address. Gun control is rubbish, death to cats, raise the speed limit, castrate vandals, free condoms to gay prisoners/death to gay prisoners, etc etc etc. Keep it short and it'll get in. And then watch the reactions for the next few days...

Also
if judging by the number of actors who were in Prisoner Cell Block H and Neighbours/Home and Away is anything to go by, there are only about 20 people in Australia so the chances of getting published are quite high.
