I'd blame Moopor.
Seems like there is an aboriginal witch in the area playing funny buggers (see below).
Also the Timmens family off Neighbours comes from Colac and Stingray was always making up weird spiggin words..... nuff said really....
Extract from some UFO website:
"AUSTRALIAN WITCH PUTS A HEX ON THE PRIME MINISTER
"Aborigines invoked an ancient curse on Australian Prime Minister John Howard by 'pointing the bone' at the conservative politician to protest his decision to scrap a top Aboriginal elected body."
The bizarre incident occurred in Colac, Victoria state, Australia on Tuesday, April 20, 2004, about 200 kilometers (120 miles) west-southwest of Melbourne.
"An Aboriginal woman, dressed in opossum skins, confronted Howard" after he made a speech in Colac. Without a word, the woman, known only as Moopor, "aimed an inch-long animal bone at him. Afterward, she refused to speak to reporters, citing unspecified Aboriginal cultural reasons."
"Howard decided to abolish the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC), which advises the (Australian) government on indigenous issues. The government wants to appoint a panel of Aboriginal experts to advise it."
Aborigines are reportedly the poorest and least educated segment of Australia's overall population of 20 million people.
"It was not clear what effect the curse was intended to have on" Howard.
However, nothing happened to the prime minister when he visited the 1,000 Australian troops in Iraq on ANZAC Day, Sunday, April 25, 2004. (See USA Today for April 21, 2004, "Aborigines curse Australian leader," page 5A, and The Age of Melbourne for April 21, 2004.)"
