Only In Australia

While the first, er, "colonists" of Australia left England under duress (for lack of a better word), this latest ad for Bundaberg Rum puts a humorous spin on the motivations of England's emigrees in the modern era.

Meanwhile, Catherine Deveny has this response to Australia's recently implemented citizenship test:

"Who are we trying to keep out with this test? How will knowing the name of Australia's first prime minister or the date of Federation keep out terrorists, wankers or bludgers? The citizenship test questions are irrelevant and offensive. Here's my citizenship test and if you don't like it you can rack off and go back to your own country. You know what the most un-Australian thing in the world is? Migrants. And we don't want them coming here with their fancy food, classy culture, rich traditions and willingness to contribute."
