Barak Obama and Julia Gillard are shown a time machine which can see 100 years into the future. They both decide to test it by asking a question each. Barak goes first. "What will the USA be like in 100 years time?" The machine whirs and beeps and goes into action and gives him a printout, he reads it out "The country is in good hands under the new president, crime is non-existent, there is no conflict, the economy is healthy. There are no worries" Julia thinks "It's not bad this time machine, I'll have a bit of that" so she asks: "What will Australia be like in 100 years time?" The machine whirs and beeps and goes into action, and she gets a printout. But she just stares at it. "Come on Julia" says Barak, "What does it say" Julia replies,

This is a jokes section - jokes are jokes - sometimes I think we are losing our Aussie sense of humour - becoming too "politically correct" - not knowing whether to post a joke that may offend some sections of the community - hey us Aussies love laughing, most especially at ourselves!!!!! The world needs to lighten up!!!

the comment "polite laugh" was only meant asa joke because it took so long to get to the punch line not as having a go at any one it can be hard to convey meanings in a written form as the tongue in cheek intention is often lost brian
Sorry 2weis - was not pointed at you - just saying in general - we now don't post any jokes that mention certain ethnic races, living here in Australia, lest someone complains and we get moderated off - to me, a good joke is a good joke, no matter the subject really.
