I like Gabe's closed eyes of quiet contemplation in the first panel.
Also, if an animal just happens to bring you to orgasm without any intercourse occurring, is it still REALLY bestiality? Lets be honest here.

It's not like Canadians are making as big a trip to attend either currently-existing PAX as an Australian would.
This is a nice gesture to Australia in general because they tend to get the short end of the stick when it comes to video games. How's their government feel about events like this?

This is pretty much the case, Australia really has a lack of good events, apart from Soundwave and comedy shows not a lot of entertainment comes here. Wayne Brady did a tour which was awesome.
The government is not at all worried about these conventions, really the only thing the government has stopped happening was that they blocked Snoop Dogg from coming (because he had previous drug offences).
I vote that Australia greets the Americans with a traditional "Bunning's Warehouse" sausage sizzle. Any Aussies will know what I mean.
Eh there's a channel. That counts as an ocean as far as I'm concerned.
Also, doesn't Australia constantly get screwed with high game prices thanks to BS exchange rate/import taxes. Seems like a little justice to me.
Get the Aussie Enforcers to run it for people waiting in line

There's a train running under it.. It's technically connected by land in that case :P
And I think our native Emu's might be quite to Tycho's liking
Our government's going to love it, this is a chance to utilise our convention infrastructure and draw in more tourists and international attention. It's not like they have a war on video games or anything, they're just your typical technologically short-sighted western democracy. Though they're getting better, rolling out fibre optic broadband internet across the country and running commissions to work out why international companies are charging us insane prices for technology... if the government wasn't simultaneously trying to force ISPs to retain people's browsing information I'd say they were doing alright.
Anyway, politics shouldn't have much of an impact on PAX AU, this is a business venture and if there's one thing all governments love it's money.

...Would probably get elected.
I would buy a ticket the moment they became available. Regardless of where in australia. Australia needs something good, especially after the disappointment that was Oz Comic-con ( http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/07/what-happened-at-oz-comic-con/ - I rode the great queue worm too).
It'd be nice to see a convention here which was more than a glorified flea-market with inflated australian prices..
In Australia, a dog will give you a rimjob with its tongue swiping counter-clockwise.
So make sure to have some anti-poison handy !
I wince at the currency exchange rate at the moment. Ahh well it looks like an economic growth slowdown is in the future so it may become more affordable for you guys!
