It's from a very popular children's cartoon show on TV called the "Rocky and
Bullwinkle show"
that was certainly shown in Australia as well, where I saw it..

there is a good ascii-art picture of them somewhere..

BullWinkle (who is speaking) never succeeds in pulling a rabbit out of his hat,
but its always "This time, for sure!"

Rocky, never believes him..
