Very, VERY funny!!! All true, though!
VERY funny, and typical Aussie humor — but does this website actually exist? Anyone know where?
Joe: I think it’s just a joke. I searched Google for the original site but all I found were hundreds of references with varying explanations (questions before the olympics, australian tourism site etc.)

If you are missing former Eastern Europe and heavy handed police tactics, then come to Australia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE0CFEMQCv8&feature=related
Or listen to F1 Driver Mark Webber and his opinion about his own Country http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccefRTKtDas

Or maybe not! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dasbpCBU0hI The Cops are the son’s and daughters of former criminals / convicts and are trained to be vicious dogs that can’t leave you alone and you never know when they will bite you.
But our “fair dinkum Australians†are even better. Take a look at those comments on Indien students, who dared to protest after some racially motivated bashings of Indien Students http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_n0kHb5n-I&feature=related
But!!!!!
Do Not complain, Because they will tell you to leave; – they will tell you that you are Unwanted in Australia; – they will ridicule you; – they will make you look like a DICK. And if that doesn’t work they will create an Anglo Royal Commission, which will establish you as a comrade of Bin Laden or Moammar Ghaddafy to keep you from reoffending. Keep you ill informed, make you believe that you are doing yourself a favor dobbing in your best mate and calling him an Anti – Christ just because he doesn’t believe in the Bull—- that has been imposed on ALL of us 23 million Australians.
Including YOU!!!
Blatant, utter Bull—- is Justification to STEAL YOUR MONEY!
What?? You don’t believe me? I told you; “You are welcomeâ€!!!!!!!!!
