Who makes budgie smugglers?

Post by sammygee » Mon Oct 10, 2011 3:45 pm

The swimwear industry in Australia is one of our most famous exports. From Bondi to Berlin, the budgie smuggler is one of our most endearing and well-known Australian quirks.
? 1928 - Alexander MacRae launches the now legendary budgie smuggler, in Sydney.
? 1cm - The ideal length for any stray hairs you might have, to be successfully waxed.
? 1907 - The first appearance of our iconic ‘surf belt and reel’ lifesavers on Sydney beaches.

At NAB, we see Australian business. Do you have a quirky business story? We’d love to hear it. http://seebusiness.nab.com.au/

"Shills for hire
Shills for hire are a variation of shill reviewers. Instead of having the company owner or an employee doing the shilling, some shills hire other people to deceive the public for them. While these hired shills don't own the company they represent, they are affiliated with the company and try to hide this fact. This makes them as dishonest as shill reviewers who own or work for the company they shill."

yeah, i have a quirky business story:
"Late last week, amid the parliamentary din surrounding the carbon tax, a little bill slipped through the Senate with minimal fuss.

This was the "covered bond" legislation - yet another friendly leg-up to the banks and one which effectively lumps another $130 billion of risk into the lap of taxpayers."

mr shill, you might want to be careful when you're bending over the bubbler having a drink.
