THE MEANING OF MANYANA

Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was on UK television with British TV host Anne Diamond.

He used the word "manyana". Diamond asked him to explain what it meant.

He said that the term means: "Maybe the job will be done tomorrow; maybe the next day; maybe the day after that; or perhaps next week; next month; next year. Who really cares?"

The host turned to Anastasia Pallache  from the Keep the rest of Australia Out Tribe who was also on the show. She asked her if there was an equivalent term in her native Queensland language.

"Nah" she replied. "In Queensland, us poli's, we don't have a word to describe that degree of urgency."

You can't even spell our Deputy Premier's name right, Craig! Her name to most of us up north is Puddle Duck!

The real Premier is Jeanette Young! She's pulling the strings at the moment.
If North or regional Qld doesn't open soon, there won't be any tourist attractions for you southerners to see. They'll all be broke!

We are having some degree of freedom - we can drive 150kms in any direction, providing we return home. That's to Charters Towers, Ingham-Lucinda, Wunjunga
