Letter to the Treasurer

OUT OF HOURS BULLY'S TRUCKSTOP BAR (INTERACTIVE)

Dear Mr.Swan,

Please find below my suggestion for fixing Australia’s economy.

Instead of giving billions of dollars to banks that will squander the
Money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.
You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:

There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force.

Pay them $1 million each severance for early retirement with the
Following stipulations:

  1. They MUST retire. Ten million job openings - Unemployment fixed

  2. They MUST buy a new Australian car. Ten million cars ordered - Car
    Industry fixed

  3. They MUST either buy a house or pay off! Their mortgage - Housing
    Crisis fixed

  4. They MUST send their kids to school/TAFE/university - Crime rate fixed

  5. They MUST buy $100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week …and there’s your
    Money back in duty/tax etc

It can’t get any easier than that!

P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back
Their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances

If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. If
Not, please disregard.

Yours sincerely,

The Whole Country

Very good Colin :laughing: but only $100 on alcohol are you trying to start a revolution :open_mouth: .

I don’t know if these two have done the rounds in Sweden yet so I shall post them.

Subject: NEW WORLD SURVEY

Last month a world-wide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was: -

“Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?”

The survey was a huge failure because of the following:

In Eastern Europe they didn’t know what “honest” meant.

In Western Europe they didn’t know what “shortage” meant.

In Africa they didn’t know what “food” meant.

In China they didn’t know what “opinion” meant.

In the Middle East they didn’t know what “solution” meant.

In South America they didn’t know what “please” meant.

In the US they didn’t know what “the rest of the world” meant.

And finally…

In Australia they hung up because they couldn’t understand the Indian accent. :laughing:

and allegedly, overheard at an Aussie barbie.

‘What would you like Marge - a chicken leg, a sausage or a bit of that Pommie b****** from next door who kept boasting about the Ashes?’ :frowning:
