Lets face it. Australians don’t know the meaning of the word poverty.
We earn $17 an hour and think it is a low wage. We all live a very comfortable middle class lifestyle because of very even income distribution and developed eco.
Some might say we are spoiled. But I have say we have earned everything we have by always questioning authority and standing up for working class rights. By helping out our neighbor in need, and in return being helped such that no Australian ever needs to live in poverty.
Those same people calling Australians spoiled are the same people oppressing their own. Those same people that live lavish lives of luxury while their own population languishes in poverty. They know nothing of suffering, or want or need, yet they condemn Australians because we have the common sense and decency to organize our society in a fair way.
We developed, we did not not over breed and we did not fall for capitalist ideology.
Why should we feel guilty for our generous society ?
Americans you killed a lot more native people than the Australians did. We’re just more public and remorseful about what happened.
The attitude towards women is simple it is sensible.
They have vagina’s they make babies and they complain a lot. They can also do whatever they want but generally, they prefer to be submissive, ok, alright, that is their choice.
Airports are bad everywhere in the world and there are fat middle class jerks everywhere in the world too.
being from usa and having looked at things realisticly and traveled a lot i would say neither australians or americans should complain about much cuz we both have life far above average of world and mostly through no fault of others nor through our own doings.. we both stand on the shoulders of those who came before us and kicked butt and worked hard… but do you truly think that you would have same lifestyle if you were born to a mother in ethiopia? or india? or china? or wherever? now if you start to think blood counts & you deserve it cuz of your ancestors then you really need to suck it up and drop to youir knees and kiss the queens toes and toss out your independance cuz hey, thats blood line too… be proud of what you do with what you have and opportunity but dont for a second prance around saying you deserved that opportunity more than any other person born on same day you were all over this planet… we r both lucky & better off to appreciate that fact
