ANONYMOUS JONES
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #59
SUSPICIOUS LIST...
Hey, folks, we've been touting the benefits of emigrating
to Australia for about two years now, but recently we've begun
to suspect that there's an odorous rodent in paradise. In
particular, we are developing a suspicion about the Aussie
skill at cooking. After all, remember, this nation was
founded by a bunch of convicts and sheep, which seems an
unlikely combination for the early development of high
cuisine, AJAEN #47 not withstanding. Then there are
those Paul Hogan commercials where he barbecues things
like shrimp, and more recently, the discovery of the dreaded
Vegemite fetish. Now we have further evidence in the form
of a list from the Australian Consulate-General, showing the
skills deemed most desirable in immigrants, and folks, fully
25% of the listed occupations are directly associated with
RESTAURANTS! Yessir, there it is, the most wanted immigrants
are chefs of various types, pastry cooks and something called
"skilled waiters", whatever they might be. Don't be too upset
by this apparent flaw in the Australian National Character
however, because they seem to be trying to do better. So sign
up now and be prepared to make your fortune; YOU might be just
the pastry cook to turn the tide and make Crepes Kangareux
the envy of the continent.
