328:, "budgie smuggler" is indeed a nickname for a particular type of male swimwear in Australia (typically associated with Speedo, at least when I was growing up), but that name pre-dates this particular novelty swimwear company. The piece of slang and the style is notable, the company most certainly is not. 308:
is just Australian slang for a type of skimpy swimwear and the linked news articles have nothing to do with the company at all. They aren't even large enough to have a receptionist and a landline - just three mobile phone #'s for contact. There appear precisely zero reliable sources discussing this
358:. Clearly non-notable company, no independent sources discuss it in depth. If someone wants to rewrite the article to be about the term "budgy smuggler", which is probably notable, that would be fine, but as it stands the article should be deleted. 173: 167: 257: 279: 128: 133: 101: 96: 105: 88: 17: 188: 155: 239:
This is a big company in Australia and i'm pretty sure they share the english language wikipedia with britain and america.

When you exclude the slang, there's not much independent coverage except for one fundraiser a few years back.

At a first glance, it seems to meet the notability guidelines, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
