'Ping Pong Poms' Sunday Night Channel 7
 
Judging by this preview I don't think this will help Anglo/Australian relations.

There was a longer version shown on TV

... because they can't say "Bloody Indians" or "Slant eyed Chinks" any more, but it's still allowed to whine about the Brits.

One of the many reasons we left Australia was this kind of pathetic 'journalism', just stirring up trouble.

Did you hear the whinging buggers on the clip, it's no wonder we have a bad reputation.
