Tony Abbott - If I Only Had A Brain Tee
An Israeli doctor says: "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in 6 weeks." A British doctor says: "That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in 4 weeks.” An American doctor says: "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in 2 weeks." An Australian doctor, not to be outdone, says: "You guys are way behind...... We just took a man with NO brain, made him Prime Minister, and now the whole country is looking for work.

It's Time Tee
Gough Whitlam 1916 -2014
Australia was a very conservative place in the years after World War Two. Bob Menzies, a big 'L' Liberal (conservative for US readers) defeated Ben Chifley (Labor) in 1949 and managed to cling to power for the next seventeen years. His government was followed by a string of equally conservative governments, most of which weren't much better than the one we have now.
And then along came Gough.
Gough Whitlam came to power in 1972 and proceeded to enact the most sweeping reforms in the nation's history. In three years he managed to push through legislation which continues to affect Australians today.
Gough abolished the White Australia Policy and passed the Racial Discrimination Act, effectively laying the foundation for the multicultural Australia that we enjoy today.
His government made the contraceptive pill affordable and accessible, by removing the tax on contraceptives.
Implemented free higher education, making it possible for hundreds and thousands of Australians to be the first in their family able to go to university.
Legislated for no-fault divorce, so women could chose to leave an unhappy marriage without being financially burdened.
Helped Australia become more civilised and humanitarian in its law-making by abolishing both conscription and the death penalty.
Introduced Medicare (universal healthcare) for all Australians. Without this historic reform 1 in 5 Australians would be unable to afford basic access to GPs or hospitals.
He championed Aboriginal land rights by returning land to the Gurindiji people of the Northern Territory. He was also known for involving Australia’s Aboriginal people directly in policy making and establishing free Aboriginal legal services.
He reopened the equal pay case, championing the rights of women to work and be fairly compensated.
He was the first Western leader to visit China and make Australia’s relationship with Asia a priority. This decision and those which flowed from it have been responsible for much of Australia’s economic and trade prosperity in the years since.
Whitlam established the National Gallery in Canberra, doubled funding to the arts, introduced legislation to form the SBS, and created the Australia Council for the Arts.
Not a bad track record when you consider he only served three years as Prime Minister before being 'dismissed' by Australia's Governor General in what became the biggest scandal in Australia's' political history.
Gough's 1972 campaign was really simple 'It's time' was perfectly in tune with the mood of the Australian people who were desperate for change. You can read more about that campaign here.

Here's the original TV ad in all it's cheesy glory and starring almost every Australian entertainer from the 60's and 70's - they don't make political ads like this anymore.

It's Not About You Tee
Australia 2014 - Our PM (Prime Moron) Tony Abbott says he is confronted by the Burka and bans them in parliament then does a backflip when he realises that he looks like a dick with many commentators saying that they find the sight of a a middle aged man wearing red budgie smugglers confronting but nobody is calling to ban them. (I have added an image of a pair of 'budgie smugglers' at the bottom of this post for anyone who doesn't know what they are)
Regardless, the debate rages in Australia despite the fact that very few people actually wear a Burka. The Burka is the garment which covers the whole face including the eyes and is mostly worn by Afghan women. More common is the Niqab which is similar but of course 'Ban the Niqab' doesn't roll from bogan tongues so easily.
The arguments on social media are facile with comments such as "when we go to their country, we have to cover up" and "the Burka is a symbol of male oppression."
What this all amounts to is self described 'freedom loving Australians' trying to make the country more free by banning things.Twisted logic indeed.
My view? The decision to wear a head covering - Burka, Niqab, Hijab or nun's Habit has absolutely nothing to do with me because I don't wear one. That decision is made between the individual and their God and should not be made by governments or influenced by bigots.
There are two designs here, one for Hijabi which says 'Confronted by my hijab - well it's not about you' and the other is designed for people who don't wear the Hijab but would like to show there support 'Confronted by the hijab - well it's not about you'
