G'day Mate Crikey Come to Australia



Nice to see that Steve Irwin has recovered from the hoo ha about feeding his children to crocodiles. In his contribution to the development of law in Queensland, a section of the law has been changed to ban children (and untrained adults) from crocodile enclosures. In a bid to recover some of his lost revenues and to restore his image, he has landed a very lucrative publicity contract with Honest John Inc. He is the new (old) face of Oz in the US and Asia. Any notion of revamping the countries image abroad has been hindered by a government-backed marketing campaign that capitalises on the very clichés that ordinary Australians have spent years trying to shake off. The theory is that he is just reinforcing the way people outside Australia see or want to see Australia, so why fight a strong image. Crikey!!

    Hi there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are
    you using for this site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and
    I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Hello! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I'm
    trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this issue.
    If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!
