dont bother writing anything, just vote
But if no-one replies the thread will disappear and there won't be many votes.

i dont really want to start a long thread but i am asutralian

haha, don' bother writing?

Come on, you know no-one on NS obeys rules :p

OK, according to a website, it's about 4 am in Australia, perhaps not the best time for this poll.

I am teh Australian. :mad:

The angry smiley gives this thread his mighty approval.

I'm not Australian but I have been locked up before. Is that close enough?

I'm Michiganian. In Finland. On a Swedish island. Living with a bunch of Germans.

<--- see location

Not unless you were locked up because you were drunk. :p

We don't sleep down here.

And no, I'm not Australian.

*BUMP!*

No, silly. We don't sleep at all. That's just one of those strange things you Norther Hemispherians do.

weak northerners, we dont require sleep.

I can't post, what's the point ...
Oh yes, I don't live in Israel. :D

we don't sleep in australia. we just drink. that's why our beer is so good, because it's the only thing that let's us do this

I'm not an Australian...

I sleep.
I dont drink Beer.
I dont watch Rex Hunt.
I dont wear pluggers
And I dont like Cricket.

However I am 100% pure Australian.

but you do drink, don't you? there's nothing cool about being sober

What's the point of non-Australians voting in this poll? Should have only one option: Australian, YES.
The OP wants to know how many australians are here innit?


EDIT: it is now 00:01 AM local time. Sleep, meh.

I'm not Australian, but I live there.

Australians have the best accent.

You sound like a kiwi to me. :D

I'll think you'll find that the accent is a lot different to what you hear in the moveis.

If, after the impending war with Iran begins, I were to flee America and try to hide in Australia what would be liklihood of being deported? Or put differently, how does Australia feel about refugees and/or illegal immigrants? How easy would it be to immigrate to Australia legally? What are the marijuana laws like? Are kangaroos aggressive? Are koala bears edible?

I wouldn't advise Australia as a place to run to. Australian Immigration can be pretty bloody-minded; you get caught as an illegal, unless you can show VERY good reason to be considered a refugee, they'll slap you in a holding camp until you run out of appeals and then deport you. Then bill you for the costs.

Immigrating legally isn't too difficult, though. Can take a while; my father, who had emigrated from Oz to the US, took two years to get permission to return (and still had to wait the full seven years to get his citizenship back). You can cut that down if you have useful skills though.

Marijuana varies from state to state. It's illegal everywhere, but punishment ranges from a small fine for possession in some states to perhaps a short jail term, or for dealers, 10-20 years jail.

Kangaroos can be aggressive, but generally only when cornered. Not that you'll see any around the cities anyway. Koalas are edible, but they're also a protected species.

Oh, and consider any snake you come across to be lethally venomous. You'll probably be right.

Australia: The greatest country on the planet. 'nuff said.

Koalas are edible
:eek: One would imagine them to taste like cough drops.

You sound like a kiwi to me. :D

SSSSSHHH!!! Don't let THEM know that. You'll ruin the conspiracy!

:mp5: I'm just really bored but consider this!

1. criminality (??? im not from an english speaking country!) is inherited!!!
2. eycolour is inherited !
3. green eyes are more common in australia than on any other place in this world (this is a fact that i'm not going to prove)!
4. aussies are decendants of the criminaly inclined
Conclusion people with green eyes are criminals

viking logic cant be disputed

Y'know, most of us actually aren't descended from convicts...

I've BEEN to Australia...does that count?

are you sayin what they teach in the schools across the world is false information

I've BEEN to Australia...does that count?


Ive watched Crocodile Dundee, have tasted Vegemite, and like a couple of Men at Work songs..does that count?

No, i'm saying that there were convicts, except the perception that we are all descended from them is bullshit. I have never actually met anyone who can claim direct convict ancestry. It's a common perception, but it's still a lie. Australia is a very multicultural nation...we have several events that helped attract vast numbers of free immigrants to our shores, eg. the 1850's gold rush and famine in Ireland around the same time, massive amounts of people from Europe post-WW2, etc...

ahd you're saying beeing Irish is better then beeing a convict???

Definitely. I want to know where he keeps this "Irish blood". In the freezer? That's pretty sick.

He probably drinks it to satisfy his evil, green-eyed convict hunger.
