I was wondering what people the Aussies make fun of, in the same way the Brits make fun of the Welsh and Irish. Also do prejudices change around the county, e.g. Perth makes fun of "so-and-so", Brisbane makes fun of "such-and-such" and Sydney, well you get the idea.
Just wondering who are the butt of aussie jokes.

Syndney and Melbourne both think they are the best
People from Perth don't count cos they may aswell live in another country.
Queenslanders are Banana benders (
) red necks, bit slow etc
Tasmanians (Taswegians) have 2 heads
South Australians, proof that tasmanians can swim
This is only what i've heard, don't agree with any of it, well apart from the bit that says Melbournes the best

There's no power on in the the whole area most folks are as ferral as they can get and I'm sure if you asked "Is the lady your wife or your sister?" the answer would be yes
So I guess I'd best go for Redneck. Yee Haw where's my shoes

that's hardly fair is it 
Besides I bought myself some double pluggers for special occasions you know weddings funerals etc..........

As its a Friday night, here is a wee story (true, sadly).
In my local bottle shop, when I first arrived I got ribbed just for the fact I was British. In fact,the worst time was when I turned up in a Scotland Rugby top. He insisted on telling me for 4 weeks running that his son worked in Scotland
Then the British Lions tour started, so they started taking the p with that, not that there where many Scots on the team. They even gave me a British Lions losers poster which has pride of place under the back seat of my car somewhere, maybe.
Today, I went in, it was raining. The guy goes, 'Bet you wish it was raining in britain to save you poms from getting beat'. Now I have no interest in cricket, I'm not english, and so I really couldn't give a damn. But 'yeah, whatever, you beating us rounders now?'
Depends how you take it. I reckon the guys in the bottle shop think they've got a pom to wind up. They'll be sadly disappointed, but hey ho
