PM Rudd unveils new Immigration Test questions.

New Australian citizens in Melbourne confused over Australia’s English speaking policy.

Immigrants who were granted Australian citizenship on Australia Day in Melbourne yesterday by Mayor John So have questioned why they need to learn English when the Lord Mayor can’t speak any. “I couldn’t understand a word he said,” said former Greek immigrant, and Rod Laver Arena cleaner Maria Popadopadoulous. She admitted to nodding and saying Yes to whatever it was Mayor So said during the ceremony. “Was that Mandarin? And what’s with the funny ‘ho-ho-ho’ machine-gun laugh? I would have felt more comfortable if Kevin Rudd was here to translate. What upsets me most is, after all that, I’m still not sure if I’m an Australian citizen or not.”

Arguing over the value of arguments.

Argumentative people will argue arguments are not only worthwhile but necessary to prove the point they wish to argue, and a person not entering into an argument to prove their point, has no point. So much so, the argumentative person will end up arguing with himself to prove this point. Non argumentative types, who could argue that arguments don't prove anything, prefer not to argue. The reason cows take a long time to come home is they live in the shed.


Both dairy cows and beef cows go Moo. If you milk a beef cow, you get steak. If you cut up a dairy cow you get a litre of milk. Don't believe everything the supermarkets tell you. When you buy powdered milk it is not from a cow that died in the paddock and turned to dust. When you buy condensed milk it is not from a shrunken cow. Be very careful buying beef jerky.

The season for silliness

Of all the things that make me debate the worth of opinions it would have to be debating. There's always two sides. To every story it pays to fall asleep. Stories are deeply appealing to the troubled minefield. Opinions are, as the say, likeable. If I was to enter into debate with my adversary I would first adopt a few children. Adopting your adversary's position is akin to going on a mission. Going on a mission is not to be sneezed. Pepper, I can never understand, is. The salt of the earth is what I'm not. I'm a regular peeper, Tom. In any season, I should always like to shake a leg. It's high time I got off my rocker. If I haven't already. When dining out on the stupidity of yourself, shake well. Well, I think I've said my peas are undercooked. It's sort of over now. Salt and pepper: opposite.

Perth Test Racism Update.

An Anglo-Saxon man who brought a currie pie into the WACA today to eat during lunch at the cricket will not be charged with trying to incite a riot.

I hate nobody, in particular

Reason is to the mind as pumping is to the heart, opposite. The mind is far from capable of reasoning at the best of times. The hand does just as much beating as the heart; in my domain, anyway. Many times have I sat in a cold bath with my hatred and just stared at the soapy bar that I'm clasping. Clutching you very own soapy bar is a barrel of fun in the bath. Blood has been spilled all over the place in the name of freedom and cleaned up with the slippery words of slippery mouthed slipper wearers. Nobody can sit there clutching their own slippery bar and not tell me that the whole thing is just not a wank. Wanking is always more than it seems. Plenty of good has come from loving bathtime but not when the taps are running with blood. I don't care what anyone says. I don't care what anyone says, stars are in the sky and stripes go on shirts. I'm not too shirty about this one. About this one there has been much written and said but you can't hide the simple facts unless of course you have a special machine that I haven't heard about. Now, ettiquette demands that I pose a little question to tinker with your interest. So here goes: how many innocent lives does it take to change? A light bulb is just as screwed as that. I have no answers to such meaty questions. Please, if you're draped in a flag, go flap in the wind at the top of a pole (or go wrap around one). You're just a let down to yourself most of all. If you're not swathed in a banner, I really don't have any problems with you. I'm only having a bit of a lend. Your ears are probably soaked in soapy goodness by this late stage. I think that's soap. Besides all that, I hate hate. I'd never chuck everyone in one basket and send them off to the bath if they weren't a little grubby already. Dirty and clean: opposite.

Peter Garrett is under my house smoking cones

Former rock fronting man, pie chucker, speeding motormouth, cat patter, turnip taster, frog hopper, chair sitter, hat flapper, cane taster and hairless gimp, Peter "The Terrible Trousers" Garret (The Fab Hat Fastener) is under my house wolfing down 'the happy plant' as it burns to smoke. He has raided my refrigerator with the zeal of a logging camper with a chainsaw and a pair of boots made from kangaroo joeys hides and a nasty habit of keeping a journal. He has been in hiding since it was revealed that he has enjoyed partaking of copious amounts of what he has described as my one true friend. In light of these stunning revelations, his recent behaviour, which includes commenting that all cars are just medieval horses and the government is out to get him and that he can dance real good, no longer seems quite so whacky. Weed is to blame for so many of our illicit drug use problems. Whatever his issue is, Peter "The Galavanting Hobby-horse" Garrett still loves to sleep in a lot but has a certain smell about him that isn't quite as bad as body odour similar to a cat on heat trapped in a shoebox but is worse than a pair of jockeys knickerbockers after a near fall. Hardly surprising that he has been placed on the frontbench because the wind certainly is into his face especially when he's down on his knees doing what all politicians do best - convene with nature. Naturally, I'm going to alert the authorities immediately and he'll have to stop his popular blog, which is ttiled Turtles and Fairies: lost brothers in a pizza oven.

Dope and cope: opposite.
