How cool is the Croc Hunter?

Are you guys all bunched into a couple of big port cities?

Instead of locking up prisoners, do you just ship them to Tasmania or New Zealand?

I know it Chowlett. It's well known. Why are you chewing on my tail? Eat Kaak and die.

Hey sorry. Just that your post seemed to indicate that you hadn't heard of it before.

Is it true that there are more sheep than people in Australia? Has this resulted in a new race of sheep-men, who the Australian government are training as super-soldiers for the conquest of New Guinea? If not, why?

Is a "poofter" what I think it is?

Do the toilets flush counter-clockwise?

Why isn't Australia a republic yet?

Two main reasons:

Older Australians have a deep respect for the monarchy and particularly for Queen Elizabeth. They didn't want to upset her and don't see the need for change anyway. There millions of British migrants here, many retain dual citizenship. No prizes for guessing how most of them voted.

Secondly noone has come up with a Republican model of government which is acceptable to the majority of Australians. Our current system of government is seen to work well. Why change it?

A republic is seen as inevitable - but only when the right model is put forward.

True, Australia was a penal colony, but we wont hold that against them will we?

Is the croc hunter dead yet? I saw him once swimming with Great White sharks. Risk profile: seeker.

Hes still alive amazingly, and still rather irritating unfortunately.

Cricket (named after a grasshopper?), rugby - dumb sports. Even Handmelon is better. Handball sux.

Cricket is boring as hell, but Rugby Union is the greatest sport in the world. Beats american football or soccer any day.

Don't like foreigners huh? Especially brownies. Remember the Norwegian ship. The captain was awarded man-o-year in politically correct Germany. They have to due to holocaust - so they feel.

You dont see any difference between foreigners and foreign hijackers?
