Wouldn't it be amazing, if this was to be introduced in the UK.

This is allegedly the actual message you get when you phone the Australian social services/benefit office! Fantastic....


'GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO "CENTRELINK" THE AUSTRALIAN SOCIAL SERVICES AND BENEFITS OFFICE'


"Press '1' if you speak English."

''Press ‘2’ to disconnect until you can….. Have a nice day.”

Doubt if it is true, do they have to comply with EU Bill of Rights in Australia, of course not, but they have the right immigration policy and a Customs Department second to none.

I actually speak Welsh and Gaelic fluently, but do not get much chance to practise them.
