The lines between speaking English and 'Straylin' is getting more blurred.

oik oik birdy milz? - what he actually says is, "like, like bloody Burke and Wills".

Here's the translation for you:

whacked in the niagra falls (kind of self-explanatory I think) - getting hit in the plums

oik oik birdy milz? - what he actually says is, "like, like bloody Burke and Wills". Burke & Wills were 2 European explorers who got lost in the Australian Outback. Some say they courageously went out to explore the Outback, others say they were 2 tossers who didn't know what the frig they were doing and got their whole expedition killed. So what the Honey Badger is saying is, "Our tactic was to charge up the middle without regard and hope that it works.

Bee's wanger innit? - the game was really close and we lost by a very small margin

Get your jacksie down, bang it on the seat? - get your arse over here and sit down.

Sometimes I found it hard to understand what our former Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, was saying...and I was born and lived in Australia since the 1970s!

Really ?? and you have the same voting power as I do

Hahah.. Indeed... and that is the problem with democracy :P

And the irony is that she was born in Wales and came to Australia as a 5 year-old. I guess it didn't take her long to learn 'strine'.
