Meantime Jame$ [email protected] is urging that Oz visas be fast-tracked for Chinese tourists (aka ‘gamers’). Apparently the current system involves sending off a visa application with their passport and being without the latter for 5 days, an outrageous inconvenience. JS says he wouldn’t trust his passport in the postal system. It’s too risky, things can get lost in the post…

How did it get to this?
Pretty easy really. Redneck radio jocks like jones appealing to a pathetic less than one per cent of population getting all the main sewer media coverage, and our “press gallery ongoing joke” door-stopping the leaders and demanding they ignore 99% of the population and give a response suitable to be printed in their rag or on their TV so they can misrepresent it. kn` marvellous isn’t it?
First Dog, this is one of the great cartoons, as effective and as telling as anything ever done. Thank you. I got my Australian passport today but I think I might use my Kiwi one for awhile. This policy is a stain on our character and what’s more will not solve the problem. Short of a global utopia nothing will.
Dear First Dog on the Moon, leaving aside the fact that I’m already married and far too old for you, please marry me! You’ve summed up my feelings about this disgusting national charade perfectly and I’m so grateful that someone has said so elegantly and poignantly. I love you, First Dog!
@ thteribl, reading this toon has made me wish the Noalition and Alternative Liberal Party memebers who’ve assented to this a tear in their throats and a lump in their eye.
@ microseris, was the “Australian Values Statement” drafted while I. Rony was on holiday?
