What are you in for?

YOUR SENTENCE

You start working for yourself on 21 March.

80 days a year for the Commonwealth, before the rent, the rates or the ute.

Resident rates 2026-27 plus Medicare levy. A rough estimate, and a joke.

The only way out is a punt.

What have you got to lose? Five bucks.

Five bucks buys two ways out.

    One winner. Every two weeks.

    You've got Buckley's.

    Is this real?

    The satire is. Right now this is a pre-launch preview: no money moves, no book ships and no draw is running.

    What do I get for $5?

    The Sovereign Australian, the guide on how to leave properly. Every copy is also an entry to win a $100,000 package to relocate and escape Australia.

    How does the race work?

    Every copy sold is a dot in the current queue. A race runs for two weeks, then one dot is drawn and that person wins the $100,000 getaway. Your place in line means nothing until then.

    What's a ticket of leave?

    The paper that let a colonial convict work for themselves and start a life outside the system. Yours is a receipt with better typography.

    Why Buckley's?

    As the story goes, the saying comes from William Buckley, a convict who bolted in 1803 and lived another 50-odd years. Nobody gave him a chance either.

      Is this financial or migration advice?

      No. It's a joke with a website. Talk to a licensed adviser before you sell the ute.
