Anybody who goes to an art gallery is a wanker, right? There are 3.6million wankers in Australia. Only geeks go to libraries, so this country has 5.4 million geeks. Dance performances are for poofs and fag-hags, and now we know Australia has 1.6 million people like that.

Outside of school projects, you wouldn't go sniffing dust in amuseum unless you were a complete dag. Ring up 3.6 million as thenational dag total. And anybody who has time to go wafting round a botanic garden needs to get a life - advice you must now offer to 5.4million of your compatriots.

A survey released last week by the Bureau of Statistics under the catchy title Attendance at Selected Cultural Venues and Eventschallenges the conventional wisdom that Australia is a land of jocks and slobs. It turns out Australians are wankier, poofier, geekier anddaggier than most of us imagined.
