Aussies don’t want to see the hiney? But they have one for a PM, I reckon.

DAMMIT. That’s my state. No more running around in public in arseless chaps for me. Or singing obscene ballads, according to the BBC.

In Australia there lived a young lass
Who loved to show people her ass
Not pretty or pink
Or round as you think
It was gray, had big ears, and ate grass.

Also banned, according to the BBC, was the singing of “obscene ballads.”

Sorry, Aussie friends. If Nanny Ogg isn’t welcome in the great down under, neither am I.

Victorian here. Nudity is still legal as I understand it. Its just this fine line about intent.

As enforceability of law banning mooning and streaking in Australia comes under increasing scrutiny, cracks begin to show.
