My Fellow Australasians,

 did in point of fact say:

>Remember those old country singalongs? In the back of a bus or truck?
>Everyone would sing along, verse after verse, but be silent for the
>punchline of each verse, while each person took a turn substituting
>their own last line?

>Well here's something true-blue Aussie to break with the weary acrimony
>about matters technical and ideological which politicos' minds seem to

>Add your own verse or substitute your own last line to this one. Leave
>your own last line blank if you can't think of a good one, and see if
>someone else can fill it in for you.

>Let's call our collectively composed song "In the Land of Oz Today". If
>it helps to sing along, it fits the tune of "May the Bird of Paradise
>Fly up your Nose" ;-)  Budding songwriters feel free to contribute a

>Sodomney, Melbyarra and Canborrah
>The goings-on will fill your mind with horror.
>  The cuisine is devine 
>  The dope will blow your mind
>It's Australia's Golden Triangle, begorrah.

Warne and Waugh and Waugh
Not blokes known to be poor
  While liking a punt
  And acting the cunned
Kicked crooket's fine name out the door

Crooketoids Moby, Swanny and Matt
Did find it hard to accept that
  Their game once so clean
  Now looks quite obscene
No wonder their pants have been shat

So next time you feel like a bet
Don't waste your cash on crooket
  Cause the boys are all bent
  And are all up for rent
So keep your money in you wallet
