I like cricket, but I don't like foreigners - unless they play cricket.

I don't like aborigines - unless they play cricket - and even then only when they're actually playing cricket.

Tennis is good. But only when Australians win. This year there are no Australians left in the Australian Open - so I thought making Pat Rafter Australian of the Year would be the next best thing. That was my idea.

Australia is the best country in the world.
