Attorney-General Philip Ruddock is working to ensure that patriotic Australians will be free to mock the English cricket team without the threat of lawsuits.

One two three o’clock, four o’clock mock
Five six seven o’clock, eight o’clock mock
Nine ten eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock mock
We’re mock the poms like fock tonight!©Bill Haley & His Comets, all rights reserved… well, until the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, that is.
- Have u ever seen a bigger punch of precious, prima donna’s than this years touring party of whinging poms…
They are elevating the slightest comment to the henious level of some vile racist assault, when most of the comments relating to players not being english are just that, rather than a slur on their actual backgrounds…
Now Panesar may have been born in England, I don’t know, but most comments are aimed at the long running habit (going back to at least Tony Greig) of having to bring in ringers from the dregs around the world to fill in their sporting teams coz they are such a wretched, backward society that they hardly produce any decent athletes anymore except in one or two codes…
On any given English national cricket team they have at least two or three out of eleven born outside the UK, turncoats who couldn’t get a game at home or fell out with someone and offered their services overseas, and so while we don’t have anything against indians or south african or anyone else per se, just play for you own friggin’ teams, and let these englanders play with whatever doubtful talent then can dredge up…
We have had one or two, Keppler Wessels, not sure of Symmons background, but by and large most of our players are aussies, why England is unable to achieve the same from their own population (three times our own) is enough to raise the ire of any fair minded sporting crowd, especially when they have been doing it for so long, and often achieving so very little with this policy…
And after all the poms aren’t exactly enlightened, citizens of the world anyway… Maybe they could go and watch a few of the 70’s sitcoms like Love they Neighbour etc… Is that the one where the white guy called the black guy ‘sambo’ and he responded with ‘honky’ or whatever??? So where do they think we learnt it all from, and am trying to purge it out of our system!!!!

Sounds like something they might have picked up from their new Mozzie masters already, casanova

I noticed this this unreported trendCurious George.

I really look forward to these cricket threads. I’m sure many of you are familiar with most of the American sports. If you do then you know we have nothing that comes close to your colourful language.
“backdoor slider”
“Tampa two”
“blew him away with the heat”Not really close.
Just a Yojimbo comment to make sure that you don’t think I’m mocking your sport.
- Right on Splice and CG…
The amount of union ratbags in Oz we have had to put up with stirring up trouble over the years, and who have scottish or dregsie-yorkshire type english accents, is enough to make u sick…
You can nearly always count on the worst union hacks having an accent from the pommy part of the world, as I think it has been gentically adapted into them over generations to be sh!t-stirring, whining bludgers and so, evolutionarily speaking, they are extraodinarily well adapted to become trouble making pr!cks…
These cricket related outbursts are just their latest manifestations… If they don’t like it (and i can imagine they are getting an inkling of the thrashing that could be in the cards), then f**k off back home, no one asked you to come… And take your preachy, sanctimonious barmy army and clapped out collection of ringers with you…
Pack of tossers!!!
But you know apart from that I guess the Brits aren’t such a bad old bunch, most of the time… When their mouths are shut…
- I spent an afternoon once watching the Singapore Cricket Club, and I think I got the game mostly figured out. Then, a few years later I asked some Aussies to explain the rules.
Big mistake. I ended up knowing less than when I started. So the lesson is, never ask an Aussie to explain anything.

- #18 The Prez.
I think this sums it up nicely. Especially the bit :
The turnout has certainly sent a clear warning, but not one that the ACTU and the Labor Party were hoping for. Rather, the message was there is little evidence of the widespread community anger at the Work Choices changes claimed by ACTU secretary Greg Combet and Opposition Leader Kim Beazley.

- POM Racist word? pommy bastard was used by our former generation. If the current generation wants to delete this word, then they delete our former generation and diggers who fought with them in the war.
Racist abuse is a way of conforming to the current agenda. if not we’d all be communist and have the same jobs and have nothing to winge about. Difference is healthy so is labelling.
C’mon aussie c’mon… get the pomm bastardsssssssss
Down with the pakieeeeeeeeeeee’s minor birds
Down with the kooki kiwis’ssssssssssss

- #31 as long as the new copyright act actually does what Ruddock reckons.
An earlier version of the bill I saw seemed to indicate that it was now legal to make one copy of your own cd onto an ipod, but no mention of the itunes jukebox software. So what if you own an computer, ipod and have itunes installed on your computer at work?
I guess you would be a PIRATE
