I don't like living in a country where the politicians and public are so thick that they think extending the duration to qualify for citizenship somehow makes the place a safer place.

"Flash" utes with twin exhausts/spoilers etc - utterly ridiculous
The need to call all national sports teams after furry native animals or give them stupid nicknames
Pokies
Those big fat noisy exhaust pipes - why do you want your car to be as noisy as possible - its about as mature as pegging playing cards to your bike frame so your push bike sounds like a motorbike but as you are 6 years old its ok...but when you are in yr late teens/twenties....just SAD
The victim culture - aussies love a good whinge - poor me & look at how hard done by I am
The word "battler" - read "loser"
Rove McManus & his fat blonde sidekick - is that show meant to be ironic by being deliberately unfunny - there can be no other explanation
Midnite Oil - how bad are they with that baldie frontman who is possibly the worst singer of all time
Steve Bracks - mr do nothing - the first thing he should do is get his adenoids fixed
Aussie trucks - a tortoise gets off the mark quicker
Blokes streaking their hair - aussie blokes...it makes you about as macho as Julian Clary...why do you do it??

With Every one of your points my smile was getting wider and wider. You are a very astute and wise man. Was it with these bloody power utes. How do these blokes ever reproduce?

Re: The OFFICIAL what I don't like about Oz thread
The Oz is best/rest of world is crap, arnt we lucky little aussiemites attitude
recently arrived poms that sprout the above but with even more Jihadist zeal than the aussies themselves
Shit media, (OZ really should be ashamed of this)
Glorification of Sport above all else
Racism
Nanny state that makes Bliar look like a libertarian
Dead pubs, full of gambling addicts (pokies)
Americanisation, shopping malls, fast food, fatties everywhere
Houses are pricey (yes they are in UK too) still at least Uk houses are insulated and not made out of cardboard and tin
Flies
Kids driving V8 tanks
The F** You attitude to the envoironment
macho aussie blokes, so insecure with themselves, its so 1970s UK
Superfiscial consumeristic suburban attitude of the average aussie
People of 25 who act as if they are 65,
Blandness reigns supreme, its an awful place. I am 33 now, if I went back to Aussie now I would feel 60 within 3 months of that I am certain.
Australia is the biggest open prison/retirement home on the planet, suitable only for the most severe dullards or those unfortunates with that early aging disorder (cant remember the term)
