This is for a bit of fun & to see how good our Aussie Fab users are as pollsters.
Everyone is welcome though.
To explain it to the non-Aussies (Poor Buggers), we go to the polls on Saturday to elect a new government.
Our incumbent Prime Minister is Julia Gillard who has red hair.
All red haired people in Oz are affectionally known as 'Ranga's" which is Strine derived from "Ourangatang"
Tony Abbott. our esteemed leader of the Opposition continually competes in "Iron Man" competitions and wears abbreviates swimmers, which because of the pointy bit poking out at the front are known as "Budgie Smugglers". A Budgie is a budgerigar, as small parrot which is coveted overseas by collectors and often smuggle out of the country.
So basically, the slang strine saying is derived from it looks like a wearer has a parrot tucked in the fron of his swimmers.
I have tried to explain it as best I can but any othe Skippy's please feel free to chime in.
I am a fence sitter at the moment as I regard the election as too close to bloody call.
