I’m sure no right thinking Australian would hitch up the ATM trailer to their tow ball and accidentally drive off. Not in a colony founded by convicts. Nosiree.

I was down at the Working Twisties Club the other day, and there was a bunch of people there not playing the pokies. Can you believe it? Well, I served it up to them. “Go back where you came from, you unaustralians”, I said.

‘…join our exciting Give Us Power of Attorney Club. Win prizes!’

Firsty, you deserve a bejewelled trophy for that line. An outstanding ‘toon today.

WTF have you got against the white shoe industry, FD ? I mean they keep a whole raft of bling manufacturers alive and if there was no pokie-subsidised beer, we’d see all of the spew-proof carpet manufacturers on the bloody dole.

That’d be where your so called do-gooder anti-problem gambling soft hand green-voting, tea drinking namby-pamby basket-weaving, sandal-wearing, home knit tie-dyed try-hard unaustralian massively-over-regulated country policy makers’ best efforts – would end up.

Putting the ATM trailer in the car park to make it easier to check the kids is a masterstroke. Especially if it’s towed by a Mr Whippy van.

ATM trailer is so cool. Whole new take on ram-raids. Freeways near the pokies venues would become slightly more dangerous…
