Aussie joke thread

wow I think someone got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning, I thought I posted that in the Aussie Jokes section, as if anyone would believe figures or stats in this thread, maybe you need to see one of those 200,000+ paid up and proud members and get a chill pill.
I presume by CUB you mean.

A person who is, or is perceived to be, unsophisticated or of a lower class background but achieving a high salary, who spends money on flashy or trashy items to fulfil their aspirations of higher social status. The stereotype includes having speech and mannerisms that are considered to denote poor education and uncultured upbringing, which is reflected in their bad taste possessions and lifestyles.

Or is it this one (from vibewire)
If we happen to have a working class that’s a little rough around the edges, then what exactly is the problem? Britain has its chavs, America has its rednecks.

The ‘problem’ is that, unlike chavs and rednecks, the people called bogans actually have money. And lots of it. Think Gina Rinehart or Clive Palmer as extreme examples – people who started out with humble means and spun gold from a combination of hard work and favourable economic climes.

The cashed up bogan doesn’t live in a drab cinderblock housing estate, or a rural outpost honing their hand fishing skills. They’re living in McMansions with home-entertainment systems, having long ago replaced their Commodores with Bimmers. Who are they to complain if they’ve now got something to show for years of physically challenging work on the construction site, under the sink or down in the mines?

I suspect that much of the time our mumbling about cashed up bogans has more than a little to do with envy. We begrudge them their newfound wealth because we see it as somehow having cheated the system, of having leapfrogged income brackets through sheer luck.

Everyone can laugh along when we see the girls of Fountain Lakes reflect our less refined points in Kath & Kim. But who has the last laugh? Jaidyn in Perth, who earns $500 a day in the mining industry? Or Jaymz in inner-city Melbourne, supplementing his creative masterpiece-in-progress with work as a barista to pay his stratospheric rent? (‘Unique’ spellings are something Australians of all stripes can, unfortunately, agree upon.)

Who do you think sleeps easier at night?

 

That is a lot, almost 3% of the working population are nurses assuming 50% of the population work (approx 10M).

 

the math was too hard for me to work out

so, I'll believe ya

 

That would sound about right.

I think the 'participation' rate higher; around 65%.


Now here's the real 'joke':

Premier, Health Minister in surprise confrontation

Charman Ted & his cronies, further exposed misleading the public & undermining public institutions by stealth & coercion.

Your taxes at work - selling you & your family to the highest bidder at a knockdown price.

Hehe, yes camouflage is a wonderful thing....

 

I don't see any fun in getting that cold ... I prefer jetskiing or scuba diving on the GBR

that could be anyone

 

The funny thing is, is that I wasn't cold JM. I have friends here who import ski gear and they gave me their samples. I only had a T-Shirt on underneath, the stuff I had was rated Level 10 and for 10,000M!

I have other pics if you want........
