Re: Those crazy Australians

I want to know what makes George Dubya such a great President? I want to see a list of his achievements.

You Australiens are crazy, just like the thread title says!
President Bush's tax breaks are just the thing to get the economy stimulated, no thanks to this delayed downturn caused by Slick Willy Clinton's disastrous time in office. We're also winning the War on Islam thanks to President Bush (and his brilliant surge), and most states still ban sodomite "marriage".

That if the greatest leader in political history, George W. Bush, can't stay in office, then I pray our next president is Mike Huckabee.

Re: Those crazy Australians

Yes he will. Your president is a world known special case and perfect example of retardation. Why do you think your country is going into recession? POOR LEARDERSHIP

Poor leardership is always a shame. Everyone needs a good learder.

Re: Those crazy Australians

Please Brother Nobar- the information you supplied is more tinformation than any australian learns at school - are you tryin g to melt their brains?

Its probably more than george Bush learnt in school as well.

Australia is an ally of the U.S and yet there seems to be much hostility from americins towards our great country.
Why is this?
All I can do is pray for all you racists in the hope that our Lord Jesus will help release you all from the bondage of your racial narrow mindedness.

Tourist drugging scam in Sydney

At least two men in Sydney have passed themselves off as French tourists to young female Japanese holidaymakers in a scam where they drug their victims` drink and then take them to a motel before sexually assaulting them.

The men proved to be very insistent and finally convinced the young woman to join them for a cup of tea. The woman reported that the tea tasted sweet and in a very short time she blacked out, only to wake several hours later with a throbbing headache in a motel room.

It is believed that at least three Japanese women have fallen victim to the two men in the Darling Harbour area, a popular tourist spot in central Sydney.

In September, 1999 a young woman again fell prey to the two men. However, she did have a photo taken with a man shortly before she was drugged to whom police are keen to speak.

November of the same year saw a 26 year-old- year Japanese woman approached and when she consented to joining the two men for a cup of coffee, she was to eventually meet the same fate as the other women, waking semi-naked in a motel room. Her description of one of the men matches the photo of the man taken with the previous victim.

Don't you know how hot it is down there right now? Their brains have probably melted already at this point.

Anyway, digging up these informative articles is not for schooling Aussies. I'm hoping that the good members here will read and understand that they are not all that they make themselves out to be.

Re: Those crazy Australians

Here are some more factoids about Australia. They come here to tell us how smart they are, but don't want us to know the real truth:

* Swimming - In 1838 it was declared illegal to swim at public beaches during the day! This law was enforced until 1902.

* The secret ballot was first used in Victoria and South Australia following the granting of responsible government. Other states introduced secret ballots as follows: 1856 - Victoria & South Australia 1858 - New South Wales & Tasmania 1859 - Queensland 1893 - Western Australia. The secret ballot was referred to as 'kangaroo voting'. World wide, secret voting is often referred to as the 'Australian ballot.

* In 1932, Francis De Groot, a retired cavalry officer, managed to get himself selected as part of the honour guard at the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. When the ribbon was about to be cut, he galloped forward on his horse and slashed the ribbon with his sword, declaring the bridge open in the name of 'the decent citizens of New South Wales'. The ribbon was then tied back together and the ceremony continued. De Groot was carried off to a mental hospital, declared insane and later fined for the replacement cost of one ribbon.

* Independence for WA- In April 1933, 68 per cent of West Australians voted in favour of seceding from the Commonwealth of Australia. However, they needed permission from the British Parliament before they could officially become a new country. Meanwhile, Australia's Federal Parliament was arguing that Britain should not interfere in Australian politics. The end result was that Britain never made a decision. Consequently, Western Australian remained part of the Commonwealth.

* In 1954, Bob Hawke was immortalised by the Guinness Book of Records for sculling 2.5 pints of beer in 11 seconds. Bob later became the Prime Minister of Australia.

*Sir John Robertson, five times premier of New South Wales, drank a pint of rum every morning for 35 years. Later said: 'none of the men who have left footprints in this country have been cold water men.'

* Prime Minister Harold Holt went for a swim at Cheviot Beach, near Portsea on 17th December 1967, and was never seen again. The event has been referred to as 'the swim that needed no towel'.

* Until 1984, Australia's National anthem was "God save the Queen/King."

* Yowie sighting - In 1987, the Alice Springs police station received a call from a frightened family. The family had stopped for a cup of tea after a morning of rabbit hunting. Then a huge ape like creature, two meters tall and covered in hair, leapt out of an empty water tank and began walking towards them. The family fled to their truck and the creature ran after them before disappearing into the bush. The man, Frank Burns believed it was a man however the women, Phyllis Kenny, told the press she could tell the difference between man and beast and this was definitely a beast. The following day police searched the area and found a man, 203 centimetres tall weighing a estimated 127-159 kg (or about two Oprah Winfreys) sitting naked by the roadside. The man was then taken to a local mental hospital.

*Australia day - January 26, Australia day, is the anniversary of ships arriving in Sydney carrying a load of Convicts.
