How the Liberals can win
Here's how I see it. Little Johnny wants to get re-elected and has buckleys of doing so based on his current set of policies. He needs one big mother of a rabbit to pull out of his eyebrow laden hat, and I think I've found it.
To appreciate the beauty of this plan, you must understand what it is that makes Aussies tick, namely:
- Cricket
- Beers in Summer
- Giving it to the Poms
- Days off work
Imagine the political gain that would be realised if all these pastimes could be combined into one voter swinging event. I give you Shane Warne Day, to be held on the nearest monday to the 24th of March each year.
As it happens this date is exactly 462 days after we regained the Ashes in Perth on December 18th, which is incidentally the same period of time that the Poms have held the trophy in the last 18 years.
Many new cricket-based traditions could be established on Shane Warne Day, and I'd love to hear readers suggestions for these. Here's some to get you started:
- 'Drink like Boony' - 52 beer minimum
- 'bowl like lil Johnny' - easier after 52 beers
- 2BL's Hottest 100 sixes by Gilly
- and at the end of the day everyone grabs a whacking stick for my personal favourite 'Tonk a Pom'

I suppose an underarm bowloff could be held on Shane Warne day in Trevor's honour.

I agree though, probably better to do them all here. Is there a way to filter on a tag used in a blog entry?

Be careful with that one AM; it’s got another meaning on this side of the Tasman…

Am curious as to what a bluetongue is in Jandaland though, if it's rude can you stick it up at Oxen Shizer
Cheers!

If you’re wondering why, just get one to open their mouth next time you’re in Bondi.
Quite commonly used in the 80s, but it’s pretty un-PC these days so you don’t hear it as often.
If your rugby club or school got drawn to play in certain parts of town one Saturday you’d say “Shit, we’re up against the bluetongues this week”

Over here they're a cool lizzard, and with NSW representing all that's good and blue in the universe seemed an appropriate mascot for our mights Sheffield Shield team

Why don’t you go the whole way and call them the NSW Maoris?
