Simply bollocks I'm afraid. Aussies have the lowest paid holidays and sick leave entitlements in the western world. Even worse than the USA. The working week is much longer in Oz than the UK. ...

Re: Aussie TV is sh$t

In all honesty we don't watch any Aussie terrestrial TV. Main reason is the long ad breaks which means a 90 min movie often take 3 or more hours. Also nothing starts on time. We prefer to buy DVDs...
