You can take the blue pill, kowtow to the right and hold onto power but eventually lose it...
Or you can take the red pill and go out in a blaze of glory clinging to your convictions, whatever they maybe.....




Give me the blue pill mystical black fella..

A formidable effort, and I hope to see more OPs from you in future, but I will have to mark you down for not including Barnaby's bizarre facial blemishes in your pic. Cost you a HD. 8/10.

Things that are cool and good and Australia should be proud of:
  • Beautiful and abundant natural landscapes
  • Survived and even grew during the GFC
  • Punch far above our weight in the Olympics
  • Universal public healthcare
  • Amazing beaches
  • Government agencies dedicated to workplace negotiations and bank regulation
  • Relatively well-off, first world standard of living
  • Got a little sidekick buddy New Zealand
  • Preferential voting, independent AEC, regular electoral redistribution
  • Laid back, care-free national character
  • Delicious pie floaters (only applicable to some Australians)
  • Not being the United States

lol the country is fed up with your safe spaces and trigger warnings you useless special snowflakes, send the sjws to mexico
Julie Bishop on Insiders has the facial colour of Donald Trump.

She must either be sick, or extremely tired to have that much makeup on live TV. In fact she does look extremely tired, one can only hope she has internal conflicts preventing her from sleeping!

*Nothing wrong with heavy makeup application, much wrong with Asbestos Bishop.

  • Universal public healthcare could be better
  • Amazing beaches can't disagree
  • Government agencies dedicated to workplace negotiations and bank regulation lol bank regulation
  • Relatively well-off, first world standard of living nice work using the US metric of capitalism strong
  • Got a little sidekick buddy New Zealand who is better than us
  • Preferential voting, independent AEC, regular electoral redistribution can't complain
  • Laid back, care-free national character loving lmao

I knew it would be easy to do a point-by-point to make it seem like that's all worthless but it's still a list of good stuff and no amount of "we're basically America" makes us actually America until we're there.

Thanks for not bagging out pie floaters though.

Your list pretty much applies to Canada too, minus the preferential voting and NZ. And whatever the gently caress a pie floater is.

Im glad we have such cool, like minded people to go down the economic shitter with. :australia::hf::canada:

I guess you guys call it tomato sauce?

My Australian friend moved back to Australia so you will have to forgive my ignorance on this if its that far off since I dont have anyone to refer these questions to anymore. :(

Ketchup is actually different to tomato sauce here, its generally tomato sauce, not ketchup used (I'm not sure of the difference, only seen it on supermarket shelves).

Yeah they're definitely different here, made differently with quite different tastes.

Also refer all your Australia related questions to us, we love answering questions.

I remember having a Chiko Roll as a kid and really hating it, but I have no memory of what it actually tasted like.

On the other hand, I can vividly remember slightly light-bleached ads for Chiko Rolls hanging in multiple locally-owned fish and chip shops, all of which were basically just pinups. I'm okay with that being my memory of Chiko Rolls.

Chiko roll posters that look like they've been hanging there since the 80s and a faded chart of Australian seafood are how you tell if a fish and chip shop is any good :colbert:
