Aussie PM’s St Patrick’s Day message hasn’t gone down well

We’ve already seen Tourism Ireland’s St Patrick’s Day promo, using Liam Neeson’s voice over skills, and it wasn’t too bad.

But Tony Abbott's attempt hasn't been going down too well.

In it you can hear the Australian Prime Minister say things like: "The English made the laws, the Scots made the money and the Irish made the songs.

"I'm sorry I can't be there to share a Guinness or two, or maybe even three, but like you, I do rejoice in St Patrick's Day."

Oh please.
