Sounds like an old ad campaign recycled from the 70's/80's, something
like "made in Tasmania by Tasmanians". As a kid I thought it was
somewhat amusing and told Mum a bad joke about it. Dad didn't think
like my turn as a comedian & I copped a right telling off. :(

'tis OK, Tasmania has caused a few of us to cop it sweet... I muttered
something about the "map" as a little tot and got an unkind biff from a
big bro. seems he thought he knew what I was muttering, I just liked the
applelike shape of it, he had other things on his mind...but he was a
teenager and they "know" stuff...

From the House of Reps Hansard of 25 February 1987:

"Tasmania, you see, is the testicle of Australia, suffusing the
mainland with strength and vigour. What a pity there is only one of
them."

Now, who can remember who said it?

Hodgman was a good guess and close to identifying the correct person.

I believe that the culprit used to share a flat in Canberra with
Hodgman.

Clue: He wore a chicken suit into parliament house

chook suit from Pam Clarke?

Bruce Goodluck.

Going back to the original quote - I wonder if Australia would be more
balanced if it had 2 Tasmanias (testicles).


(And isn't it great working in a medical organisation - I can put the
names of any body parts I like in an email and the filters at work let
them through. If I write 'testicle' just once in an email to a mate at
the Tax Office, the filters there block it and sent me quite strident
warning emails in return.)

That's not the usual body part ascribed to tasmania!

And if it is Australia might be better if it hadn't been ripped off...

Who would want to send the word 'bollox' to the Tax Office?
