...Men At Work?

...Mad Max?

...The Crocodile Hunter?

I think The Simpsons summed it up well:



I think Australians (and New Zealanders for that matter) on the internet often have awfully big egos for being citizens of a country that has contributed practically nothing of value to world history except exploitation and genocide of indigenous peoples...
If this is your attempt at a steal man, this speaks volumes. I'd say something about Seppos knowing jack about the world but that would be redundant given your 'immense knowledge'. As you seem to be capable of internet usage maybe you look up WiFi for starters Wink.

Australians like to imagine themselves as tough, but the truth is that the average Californian is probably more comfortable around guns than the average Australian.
the Average Californian get shot more too Tongue

There's actually a book from the 60s called the "Lucky Country" which outright states that Australia is a prosperous country not because of its citizens' hard work or innovative capabilities, but because it's full of natural resources and hard to invade.

Funny part is that a lot of Australians completely miss the book's message and often call themselves "the lucky country" thinking it's a compliment when it was actually calling them thoroughly mediocre.
To be fair its calling our politicians sub par, which is true.
