"I live in Australia btw which makes the entire thing more wild and confirms how American political commentators largely speaking out about issues in the United States have so much influence on other countries."
"Flights to America are around $450AUD. Our piss weak currency. So cheap. I have 4k buried in the yard. My only asset is my trinkets and my 94 corolla."
"Yanks are so obtuse about other countries, I've never met anyone else so bad at understanding this kind of thing. I once heard an American woman in Australia talk about being shocked because her boss kept talking about thongs."
"ethiopian airlines is the best airline in the world and we'll find out when they start doing routes in australia (will happen soon)"
"When we are just busy bodies that complain about council planning and will valorise our leaders for telling us to stay inside. We import culture as a grotesque chrimea of Amerifat and Britbong products. We even have our own Canada in the form of New Zealand who we use to feel better about ourselves."
"Australia has its own version of the sovereign citizen movement"
"My queen Dua Lipa enjoying her trip to Australia"
"He also said he warned us this would happen if we recognised Palestinian statehood. IMO Mossad have been running small local anti semitic false flag attacks (the ones carried out by paid junkies, blamed on Iran.) in Australia."
"Maybe some opposition in Australia and the UK and Ireland say something... and they either end up getting pushed out or do shady deals down the line with them regardless."
"I always roll my eyes when I see comparisons to the US and Australia. As if Australia is just another smaller version of it on the other side of the world. And to think I used to rush to Australia's defence when anybody tried comparing the two - as if I took grave insult at the idea. I just got back"
"I'm Australian and it's happening here too. We recently had a girl get stabbed in an Islamic honor stabbing, a Sudanese teenage boy murder a grandmother in front of her grandchild, and 800 Muslims attend a waterpark where they demanded female staff were to cover their arms and legs and proceeded to "
"I've travelled quite extensively to the EU, South America, Canada, MENA, and Asia and no one has been nearly as condescending and douche-baggery as Australians. I moved here temporarily for work and it's been a never ending nightmare of straight up disrespect because I'm American. These people live "
"I live in Australia btw which makes the entire thing more wild and confirms how American political commentators largely speaking out about issues in the United States have so much influence on other countries."
"Aside from the weather and beaches and much higher salaries and better quality of life, it seemed like Australia was spiritually a healthier place. Despite being made up of 1/3 immigrants, you didn't have 'Boriswavers' or boat people milling about, and society felt so much more cohesive"
"Seriously this shit is embarrassing, do this in Australia and you'd be laughed off stage, even if it was genuinely popular PM like Bob Hawke"
"Australia has one of the highest costs of living in the world and the highest rate of immigration in the West. Australian media is mostly Murdoch owned and half the stories are copied and pasted from fox because his Roman from succession failson is trying to prove to Daddy he can save money."
"I'm 23. It just keeps getting worse this shit is insane its like a bizarre snowball skit from an old looney tunes episode on god (no cap fr fr etc). I'm in Australia so am shielded by sheer geographic distance from a lot of the insane american culture war stuff you guys have to deal with like your i"
"I'm sitting in my philosophy class in my second rate Australian university and my lecturer who looks and sounds like Matt Damon"

"Grown ass men running around saying 'brekkie'. Despicable people."
"For context, we live in Darwin which is much different to other capitals around Australia; there is a very large Aboriginal population that is visible throughout the city."
"I'm from Australia. Australians have a reputation and stereotype of being larrikin, happy go lucky rule averse people. This mostly comes from Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin, and does kinda apply the further out you go into the Outback, but its mostly a myth that Australians are happy to perpetuate"
"I've lived in Canada/America/Australia/NZ or whatever my whole life. I'm going to like watching hockey/football/rugby/non-Indian cricket on a patio with my friends sipping some cider."
"as a young white Australian, I actually do find it alarming that I can go whole days of living and working in my own country and not see anyone who looks like me, acts like me, or even speaks the same language as me. Is the rapid transformation of our country not a conversation worth having?"
"We went deep into the pronoun shit, and she mentioned her friend is the head of dykes on bikes in Australia."
"Try pulling something like this when entering Japan, Australia, etc.—you'd be deported instantly. That's just how border enforcement works."
"Australia has this odd mix of strict laws, heavy-handed government policies, very odd and annoying politicians, and a culture that doesn't seem to push back much. It's like if you took the UK, Canada, the US, put it in a blender and took everything good out you'd get Australia."
"In terms of teenage (age 15-19) suicide rates, Korea is close to average among OECD countries. Some countries with higher teen suicide rates include the US, Australia, Austria, and Estonia."

"we're working in the Australian desert and the guy has clearly never heard of antiperspirant"
"Just got back from a work trip to Australia, where I got the chance to ramble around the southwestern part. Perth and the area to its south are like Southern California without the interminable traffic jams."
"stunning reports from down under have revealed that the Australian Army are massacring dozens of innocent Afghan villagers"
"I'm Australian and have never been north of the equator, let alone to either the US or Canada, but everything I see from Leafs online points to them being Americans with slightly different accents."

"and in Australia my dad is Aboriginal and my mum is white and whenever I disagree with something involving African Americans, I'm called a coloniser or 'white' when I'm literally about three entire shades darker than Megan."
"Until the whole Roe vs wade overturning, in AU it was left up to the states and it wasn't even a topic we ever even heard about in Australian politics. All states had pretty reasonable laws that were never even a topic of conversation when it came to the topic of politics."
"It is for this reason clause six of the Australian constitution defines New Zealand as a state. New Zealand is provided its self government *within* the terms of the Australian Constitution as a state."
"where i live (australia) government ID is about to be needed to access social media. I could go on for ages about why this is a net negative for us."
"No commentary on this I just like making lists but you can use this as a guide on what posts are not to make: 1. tattoos 2. Disney adults 3. bi women 4. bi men 5. polyamory 6. fat people 7. Australia"
"Walked out on a bar shift because my managers decided they simply wouldn't comply with new capacity restrictions due to COVID. We have a BIG older person patronage. I felt smothered by the crowd... I desperately needed the cash but my conscience? Priceless? Idk I need reassurance... I'm trying to do"
"/RSaus is a sub for showcasing the RS side of Australia. We're the country that Azealia Banks recently labelled "unimportant" and "culturally stale"; we banned Milo Yiannopoulos, just for being a bit of a poof; we're the envy of other countries around the world for our rich, coastal lifestyle and ar"
"Is it over for me? I grew up in a bogan area so I have a bit of that accent, exacerbated when I yell or get drunk. Like my mum, I even have the accent when I speak Croatian."
"I'm from Australia and I was just speaking with a mate from Melbourne and he said when he visited America it was almost unbearable because apparently everywhere he went, people seemed so obsessed with race and talking about things through a race based lens constantly."
"He was then 'released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK' to return to Australia, the statement added."
"I feel like being there for the latest psychedelic rock explosion in Australia and nu-disco in Norway would have been cool, but neither of those were that novel, just creative periods."
"why does canada want 100 million people so badly when australia has 25 million people and better quality of living?"
"An incredible headline from a reputable paper of record. We may be our own country, but that's all too boring so what we need to know is how the Democrats VP pick is 'ozzy coded'."
"I genuinely feel like I'm thriving and have a lust for life when it's just me and my internal monologue. I love to see movies, sightsee and have travelled to Japan, New Zealand, South Africa and other states within my country (Australia) alone and absolutely loved it."
