Everything about Australia
Here's a place for all of those real life people to discuss anything about Australia. Politics, sport, the news, the weather, or issues.
What is this strange "Australia" place you speak of?

Australia?. Bah, it's not so great. Infact, I doubt it really exists. Just give me a few minutes to prove it. I reckon I can do it. Just like a coupla years ago when I 'proved' Italy was uninahbitable. Fun times.
Bloody aussies.
Are they cannibals? Tell me more!

It's a New Zealander. I wish I was Aussie so I could ignore you. Instead I shall import all my welsh jokes and swap the words. *Imports*.

Oh yes. They eat each other, and blame it on imaginary creatures called 'dingos'. They are the most insane people you will ever come across, conceded and ignorant also.
New Zealand is ten times better.

Hmmm... wasn't it the Australian-born Welsh rugby coach who called New Zealand a "poxy little island nation", then later withdrew his statement to say that it was a "poxy little two island nation"?
Oh well, at least Australia lost the world cup. Oh wait... we did too :(

Would you choose to live in the edge of a continental plate, with evident volcanic activity? That's New Zealand, the Shaky Isles.
Bloody aussies.
Hey, stop making fun of Australians!! :sniper:
We all know you bloody Kiwis suck compared to us. :D

Everything is n the edge of a plate these days. Except Eaxt Africa. But no, they don't get off lightly, their plate is splitting in two just to make life uncomfortable. The Earth sucks.

Meh, the worst earthquake to hit us recently caused a few grocery items to fall off shop shelves, nothing major. And that was one of the largest ever. Most of it happens offshore, and we have a fairly decent tsunami warning system.
Besides, I’ll proudly have you know that in the event of a major volcanic eruption in New Zealand, Lake Taupo would most likely be set off and cause worldwide chaos. Not just us who would be effected. Aussie would be too...
At least we don't have posion spiders and snakes :D

You're going to get a good drubbing if any other Australian hears that my friend. You must be talking about the Abbos(Aborigines) who are extinct in Australia anyway. Even so, the Abbos never ate people; the Maoris of New Zealand certainly did. :D
If you want to know what Aussies truly are like, think Steve Irwin and multiply by 20million(although that's not even close to the true definition)

"Crikey! Have a go at this, man eaten New Zealanders."
Yeah 'tis true! They eat each other, and eat us colonists when we got on their wrong side. Captain Cook lost a few of his men to the cooking pot on his second voyage.
But meh, we don't blame imaginary doggies :D.

Steve Irwin's not a real Aussie. Never once seen him with a beer.

We got bigger nastier everything including the biggest crocs where I live! :) Bigger nastier government too. :confused:

Steve Irwin trimes 20 million? if that's the case, i take pride in the fact knowing i'm not like that.
Yeah, Steve Irwin's not really a true Aussie, although for any idiots who don't know what Australians are like he's a stereotype Aussie. By the way, Australia has the biggest crocodiles and most poisonous snakes in the world. It also has the Bullant, one of the nastiest insects in the world.

Extinct? They consist of 1% of the population, although I think none of them are 'pure blood.' As for eating people, well the nice folk of PNG which shares some customs and wildlife ate their dead to honour them, and I do recall that Pauline Hanson woman saying in a book they did something similar.
What does McDonald's and the One Notion political party have in common? They're both run by red headed clowns!:p:D

Yeah, at least we don’t have to up with John Howard. We got Helen Clark instead…

Sorry for offending you mate. I'm lucky that there's a fellow Aussie here as well. I worded that post to fend off sniping comments from the New Zealands who told us how bad our country is.

Beazly's a fat sack of crap. Soo not prime minister material.
Kevin Rudd so should have been leader.
Oh well...
*tries to find the chaser episode on educating americans about who australia is...
We do have a free trade agreement with you, its amazing that we're nothing more to you than that holiday place that's advertised on tv ab nauseum.
Oooh, here it is. *downloads
Do you mind .mp4?
Oh, and dont mind the Quinten thing, it's a very, very long standing joke/sad story about a cripple. Like "A Dingo Stole My Baby", only older, less funny and no court cases.
I'm waiting for it to download on to my phone, then I have to Bluetooth it to my computer, THEN I have to upload it to filespace.org. See how I go out of my way for people who wont give a shit anyway? Haha... *taps fingers
Yay, done. Erm, you need to do the right-click and save as... crap with IE, yeah? Well do that if you're stupid enough to use IE, =P Clicky Downloady (http://fast.filespace.org/kako/3Comedy-74956444-TCD.mp4)

BIG FUCKING CRINGE
If this thread's just going to be about what the rest of the world (including NZ, apparently) thinks Australia is like, I'm leaving.
Yes, there is a large proportion of idiot bogan sacks of crap, they're the reason Howard keeps getting in. Its like Australia's answer to the soccer mum and the SUV-driving texan, in one.
And seriously, nobody is like steve irwin. Steve Irwin isn't even like Steve Irwin. Off the camera he knows less about Australian animals than an African elephant.
(N.Z. Sucks.... =P)

If only they kept faith with Simon Crean! Bloody traitors shooting themselves in the foot! Stupid fools, now they have to rally behind Kim to stop the party from splintering (and because it's much easier to hide behind a man as big as Kim).

Anyone here looking forward to Peter Costello being PM? Not me, he's going to be like Paul Keating and Peter (like his namesake) is a convervative Christian leaning as well.

Schizophrenia ≠ multiple personality disorder.

Yumm, please save me a wing (well, we are talking about a kiwi) :D:D
I really hope no-one outside this country thinks the minority, let alone the majority, of Australians is anything like that idiot Steve Irwin. This is the moron who waved his baby son around 10 inches away from a crocodile. He has single handedly reinstituted the "cultral cringe" in this country, and we were so bloody close to finally getting over it.

(I lied, I didnt go to bed.)
If you're a citizen of one you're a citizen of the other... You might not have the papers and crap, but if you decide to move next door, citizenship is automatic.
So I can cross over and get a cheap tertiary education, and the N.Z.ers can come over and get the dole- all without any immigration troubles at all.
I forget the name of the treaty, oh well...

I adore Australia! One of the last few places on the Earth I truly want to visit is the Outback. I should have gone to Australia on R & R when I was in Vietnam, instead of going to Thailand for the wimmin. :)

Turn up and spend some $$$ to help our economy!

Hey! We won the cricket...again...woo hoo!!
Steve Irwin is a tool, no doubt about that...no one can get that excited about a bloody lizard without taking something...
John Howard? Well, that garden gnome should've been voted out years ago, anyone remember when he swore to us all "There will be no GST"??
New Zealand, well they suck at cricket that's for sure... make good films though.

Hey, South America's fine. No plate activity whatsoever (on our side of the Andes at least)

Yay! Well, against sides like the Windies and Pakistan the outcome was in no doubt.
Steve Irwin's definitely a tool, and he's made us all look like fools for dangling his baby near a croc.
Little Johny isn't that bad, at least he's provided us with years of stablity and incredibly prosperity. Maybe he should have been voted out years ago but who on Labor is strong enough to challenge him? Simon Crean was overthrown by a majority of caucus, Mark Latham resigned in humiliation and a bout of pancreatis :D; as for Kim, well, I guess it's third time lucky.
NZ is probably only famous today because of the LOTR movies.

We get lots of the best ones. Assuming the 'best ones' are the ones that like grabbing things and shaking them to bits just to find out what they are. Hurrah for Makos, Tigers and Great Whites!
Hurray for Sharks!! :D It is true that Australians get eaten a lot by sharks compared to the rest of the world. Don't forget about other nasty stuff like the Box Jellyfish.

Box Jellyfish? Pah. We have the most poisonous snake in the world - in fact, I remember watching a documentary that claimed we had seven of the top ten most dangerous creatures.
Have any of you ever eaten lunch while blithely unaware your drink bottle was on top of a very annoyed Sydney Funnelweb spider?

Don't forget the bull sharks! You know, the ones that like to swim a few miles upstream in Queensland rivers? The really, REALLY aggressive ones?
Gotta love those bull sharks :fluffle:
Australia's great 'cause I live there =P
