FNet-- Australia needs your help You all remember throwing a shrink on the barbie as a tourist slogan for Australia. Well, it is considered old and dated.
A more recent "Where the bloody hell are you?" campaign was not seen as very successful. Indeed, some countries (and translations) seemed to cause offense rather than excitement.
Having just lost the Ashes to England and the Bledisloe Cup to New Zealand, Australians are feeling rather fragile and need a big morale boost.
Here is fnetters chance to contribute to a new slogan and campaign to attract tourists to Australia. There is $20 million at stake. Let your creativity run free.

"It ain't New Zealand" would probably get you further in the decision process.

Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!
