For all that Australians are prone to dropping sounds, we do generally pronounce the t's at the end of words (although perhaps we don't stress them quite as much as Bernie, see 3:10-3:40 in the vid).

Something's "rooted" around here (rooted is Australian slang for fucked... =)

Interview with the guys. Most Australian dudes ever http://mirror.ninja/grly

whats a plugga?

"Cmere, ya barsterd!" Australians are awesome.

It's playing off the belief that Australian's live daily with terrifying danger, I think it can be forgiven for being slightly inaccurate. =)

What good are points if they're not true?

It was humorous though. Very good satire of Australian life as perceived by the rest of the world.

(note: some points were true, others were meant to be but were not)

So fucking Australian... = ) /proud

ps. The guy driving the car would likely qualify as a bogan.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Non-partisan Federal Election Commission should draw these boundaries, not elected officials.

Many democracies try real hard to divorce anything related to elections from the people that are actually elected. Australian Electoral Commission sure does.

As an Australian, this video makes me inordinately proud... =)

+1 for the idiot disclaimer near the end.

The lady's a relevantly well known (here anyway) Australian comedian, damned if I know her name though

Yeah, it's a bit misleading in the Australian comparison too. That particular car addicted rich area of Sydney doesn't necessarily reflect the rest of the country (or even the rest of Sydney).

A few of the 10-12 year olds at my kids school walk to school by themselves or in small groups (or take the bus a few stops to school). The vast majority are accompanied by their parents, but not all.

Even so, although slightly exaggerated by picking extremes in both Japan and Australia, the cultural difference they point out is real and interesting.

It was a pretty good fire (and sad as you said already), but for a scary as hell inferno have a look at footage of Australian bush fires.
