Mr. Howard sizes up Dunga Gin
Posted by Rex Ringschott on Tuesday, July 24, 2007
You may talk o’ bat and ball
An’ say Warney’s great an’ all,
An’ pay ‘omage to The Don just like yer mean it;
But about that funny thing
On yer head ol’ Dunga Gin
Did yer get it cleared by Customs when yer brung it?
‘cause we’ve got standards ‘ere y’know
We’re not yer ‘alf-baked bloomin’ show
We’re the faithful servants of Er’ Maj the Queen
And don’t go scare the wimmen
By strippin’ off and swimmen
Down Coogee Beach before yerv scrubbed up clean
It goes “Oi! Oi! Oi!”
With three “Aussie”s loud, me boy!
Practise this exclamation
Then contact immigration
And maybe you can stay ‘ere, Dunga Gin!
Yer a biggish kinda bloke,
And I’m a runt. Don’t larf. No Joke!
But I’ve got the power in me little hand
To put you in for years
For yer disrespec’ful sneers
‘cause that is somethin’, for with which, I will not stand.
You’ll linger in a cell,
You’ll live relatively well;
It’ll be good for you, and me, Dunga Gin.
And after due consideration,
For yer case. Yer situation.
We’ll export you back, for free, Now that’s Win-Win.
It goes “Oi! Oi! Oi!”
Its election time me boy!
I’ve got a hat. I need a rabbit.
Yer, the best I’ve got. Dag nabbit!
You can be of some use yet ol, Dunga Gin!

Posted on 24-Jul-07 at 7:21 pm | PermalinkOoh how very clever except
1) the fellow happens to be a Sikh, and they have a long association with the British empire. A lot of them ended up as soldiers in British colonial armies. Also Sikhs and Muslims have tended not to get along in India.
2) Howard has expressed reservations about fundamentalist Islam, he has no problems with Indians from the subcontinent per se
3) it’s the Greens and Labor who are rabitting on about the evils of guest workers bringing down wages and the Greens who have a zero net immigration policy. Immigration has increased substantially under Howard.
what a tosser you are.

Posted on 25-Jul-07 at 12:02 pm | PermalinkIF ONLY… the refrain of the poem is “You’re a better man than I am Gunga Din.”

“More specifically, Corpulent Paleface Lefty’s ‘clever’ dig doesn’t work because
1) The fellow happens to be a Sikh, and they have a long association with the British empire. A lot of them ended up as soldiers in British colonial armies.”
I confess I don’t understand how the fact that this man is probably a Sikh means the dig dosent work ?
If you’re inferring that as a Sikh he couldn’t possibly be a terrorist you’re simply demonstrating your ignorance of recent history – A quick Google of “golden temple massacre” or “Indira Gandhi assassination” might give some pause for thought.
“2) Howard has expressed reservations about fundamentalist Islam and has no problems with Indians from the subcontinent per se or indeed with any ethnicities dissimilar to those of Corpulent Paleface Lefty’s”
So the Tamils recently arrested for terrorism related offences can rest easy I guess….
“3) It’s the Greens and Labor who are rabitting on about the evils of guest workers bringing down wages and the Greens who have a zero net immigration policy. Immigration has increased substantially under Howard.”
Shhhhh….. this is something that this Government doesn’t really want put about – It doesn’t sit well with the “Howard battlers” you know…

But never mind about the facts, its an election year!
Posted on 25-Jul-07 at 1:57 pm | PermalinkGreat photo, Rex. Almost saved a thousand(or so) words from Jason.
Jason, if you challenge Rex’s choice of photo on nuance, did you see the one on the front page of Citizen Rupert’s Daily Telly on July 12? You remember the one, a green and gold track-suited Mr.Howard was captured mid-stride, head bowed like a beaten favourite, with his City of Sydney: the hanger, harbour, high rises and opera house in the background, under the header: SYDNEY WALKS AWAY FROM PM
Jason, what sort of “very clever” message do you think Mr. Murdoch was sending to the regular readers of his colourful tabloid?
Posted on 26-Jul-07 at 12:35 pm | PermalinkPhoto was from the front page of Tuesday’s OZ E.C. - The Oz article didn’t fit the image so I thought a rewrite was in order.
The mistake I made was not to have the copy checked by Mr. Soon’s comedic quality-control before publication. Ah well, we live and learn.
