Or woken up to the massive rip off which has taken place since around the turn of the century. Although other points such as the bogan culture and booze influenced society has been around,it would appear for ever.

Re: Australia, loads of feedback from aussies
I don't think so. The thing which most surprised me about Aussies was that despite the larrikin image they were an extremely compliant bunch.
Brits are better at dissent by a mile.
Laid back also is a lot of shite. Overworked and mortgaged to the hilt was my impression,then I suppose I have a choice of residence.

Really feel Australia has had an easy run for a few decades now.It was easier to sell the myth at least when the product was competively priced but as countless others noted the shine has worn a little thin with poor return for money in recent years.
Good to see so many voicing dissent.Who cares what nation they are from,the message is out to stop treating people as mugs and add greater quality to the product at an acceptable price.

Re: Australia, loads of feedback from aussies
I lived in Oz 15yrs ago,and I can definately say yes it was a better place then!No binge drinking,crime was low,food/drink was cheap,kids were well behaved ect.We arrived way back in 1970 and it was the land of milk and honey then,so different than today!Shame I think!
Even im told distance was quoited in how many slabs of beer could be consumed between a and b.the bogans of the time were called Ockers, bogans being more the youth ....also little tolerance towards different races...who were scarce on the ground back in those days anyway.

Maybe OZ has been invaded by whinging poms over the past 10 years and thats made the country negative. OZ is the only western country to advoid a recession unlike the UK, l'm not saying OZ is the best country in the world to live in but its got to be somewhere in the top 10 or top 20.

With you 100%. In the past the lack of competition, pricing, service etc all aussies would do is defend with this was the " were the best in the world rant" " . Almost brainwahed

Quite. Those foreigners must think they have discovered a new gold mountain in being able to off load all their manufacturing mistakes on Australia. They are doubly lucky that the Australian retail industry has had to accept being staffed by the der-brained dregs of the Australian workforce due to high labour demand.
