Ask about Australia

[Convict]

It occurs to me that the majority of people here either live in Britain or Pakistan and that there aren't many Australian.

I don't know much about other nations and have actually learnt a fair bit from this site. I've also noticed that many people similarly don't have a great understanding about Australia.

So if anyone has any questions about Australia please go ahead and ask. I'd also welcome people like OzGod and Saqs answering questions if they choose to.

Yes. It tastes quite good actually and rich in protein. We also eat the emu, which is the other animal on our coat of arms.

Sorry mate, but I will be doing more asking than answering in this thread it seems:

1. How has the Lillee/Thommo legacy continued so far down the track in the likes of Johnson/Tait?
2. Who is the most beloved cricketer in Aus after Bradman?
3. Is it true that the Indigineous people have hundreds of languages between them?
4. Do you think the 'boat people' situation will ever get fixed?

Lack of European immigrant influence and funding.

This is slowly changing, and you'll most likely see Australia start to compete with the likes of Japan etc. at a high level in the mid-term future as more second and third generation Europeans are raised in Aus.

We're already beginning to see talent attraction happening with the likes of Del Piero joining the 'A-League'.

I reckon it's got a fair bit to do with the AFL and the NRL. Pretty much after every match the commentators will grab a player

Commie "You played very well today and dragged the team over the line"
Player "yeah nah mate. It was a team effort. The boys dug in hard and came up with the goods"

or
Commie "You beat Melbourne by 186 points today. They were pretty bad weren't they"
Player "yeah nah mate. They tried hard but the boys dug in hard and came up with the goods"

This thread is awesome already.

My next question to Convict is - why isn't Warwick Todd a national icon?

Not criminal enough.

Which is the best city for raising a child?

I'll show my bias and pick Perth. Has great weather, good beaches and plenty of open parklands. Though all of the five major cities (Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney) would be some of the best places in the world to raise a family.

Melbourne and Sydney are far more multicultural which is a factor many people here might want to consider. Though all the other major cities have suburbs with pretty significant Desi populations (like Rossmoyne in Perth).

Australia excels at a lot of sports. Almost every sport has had a standout Australian at one point of time.

Why are they mediocre in football (soccer)?

Because nobody really cares about soccer. It's only really played by the children of European immigrants (Italy, Greece etc).

That is mainly because our own football codes took over and entrenched themselves well before soccer could. Australian Football was actually codified before Soccer was. The Melbourne Football Club (est 1858) is the oldest, still existing professional football club of any code in the world. The Geelong Football Club (est 1859) is the second oldest. Carlton (est 1864) are older than about 99% of teams in the Football League in England.

When there was no tv or internet and it was difficult for immigrants to stay in contact with their homelands so they had to assimilate. Plus before WWII almost all immigrants were from Britain and Ireland and because they weren't even 'foreigners' (until about the 60s most Australians still considered themselves British) they didn't cling to parts of their home culture. This is why Irish Catholics in Australia took up cricket whilst they rejected it over in the UK and Ireland.

Later immigrants from Italy, Greece etc formed soccer clubs where they used to hang around with other people who immigrated from the same country.

I doubt we'll ever be good at soccer. It's culturally irrelevant to Australia and second and third generation immigrants are taking up rugby league and Australian Football anyway.

Sorry mate, but I will be doing more asking than answering in this thread it seems:

1. How has the Lillee/Thommo legacy continued so far down the track in the likes of Johnson/Tait?

3. Is it true that the Indigineous people have hundreds of languages between them?
4. Do you think the 'boat people' situation will ever get fixed?

1. Australians love their fast bowlers to have plenty of mongrel and to be aggressive. Lillee and Thommo are still the epitome of that ideal and Johnson (and broken ****ing arms) has brought it to a new generation.
2. Almost certainly Allan Border. Interestingly for a while Clarke was probably the most disliked high profile cricketer ever. Though that has changed, especially after this summer.
3. Thousands I believe.
4. Not anytime soon.

Australia used to be very provincial a couple of generations ago. It seems to have become a lot more cosmopolitan since then, would you agree? Is that a good thing in your view?

We don't really have many mountains. We do have many trekking area but they are mostly trekking through bushland and nature. The bibbulmun track in WA is pretty famous.

Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra are very cosmopolitan.

Country Australia is still very provincial and the other major cities like Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide are probably both provincial and sort of cosmopolitan if that makes sense?

I do like visiting Melbourne and Sydney but I'm far more comfortable living in Perth. And in many ways I like the old relaxed, laidback and casual life in Perth and in the country.

The multiculturalism and immigration has been far more positive than not.

I think that immigration has helped Australia. Parts of it seem very annoying but those parts are normally pushed by inner city white Australians and never by actual immigrants who are always embarassed by those sort of things.

I think the problem with England's multiculturalism (though again I don't no much about England) is that immigration is centred around certain areas. It seems to me that some places become not only immigrant majority but majority of a certain immigrant group and the unfortunate side effect of this is that there is little mixing and understanding between the immigrants and the locals and the differences between groups are highlighted.

Over here in Australia yes you do get areas with far more immigrants but the schools themselves are very multicultural. For instance my schools were majority anglo-celt but we had Indians, Sri Lankans, Pakistanis, South Africans, Chinese, Malaysians, Singaporeans, Italians, Greeks, Croatians etc. So there is plenty of mixing and socialising and the similarities between groups are highlighted.

It probably also helps that there is no single immigrant group (bar Poms) that really makes up a significant proportion of the population.

Do you all speak like Alf Stewart?

What quality of Indians do Aussies dislike most?

Have you ever beaten up an Indian Student? If yes, was it pleasurable?

Far more common than people would expect but yeah those videos are taking the Mick a bit.

I think the main cultural difference is that Australians are quite blunt and often make humour using mockery or aggression. Anyone who grew up in Australia takes it as it is and doesn't take offence.

India has a very different culture and naturally they can find Australians to be too blunt or offensive. And that creates a cycle where some Australians think that Indians look for excuses to claim offence.

But people get used to it quickly.

Nah I haven't. I have gotten into a fight with a 2nd gen student in a footy match though. He started it. I finished it.

Minimum hourly wage is about $15 but almost all adults earn at least $20. Average full time male wage is over $60,000 in every state and over $70,000 in WA.

My favourite city outside of Perth is Melbourne I guess. I like to visit to watch football matches.

The loosening of tariffs and trade protections have led to Japanese car makers supplanting the Roo. According to my father emus were more reliable back in the day.

Great thread btw...

Queensland has a reputation but there wouldn't be any major issues in Brisbane that wouldn't exist in any major city in Europe or America. Rural Queensland is different. But most of the 'racists' in rural QLD and WA are more ignorant than malicious.

The job market is probably getting tougher over the last few years. Skilled Professional immigrants or skilled trades people (plumbers, electricians etc) don't have difficulties though.

Most university students actually go to university in their home city so it's not really like elsewhere. So it's a more a period of your life where you're young, don't have much responsibility, have plenty of free time and actually have freedom.

The Sandstone universities (ANU, Melb Uni, Monash, Sydney Uni, University of NSW, Adelaide University, University of WA and the main university of Brisbane) do have a bit more prestige.

Law would be pretty hard actually. I've heard that the unis are producing way too many lawyers. I'd expect graduate wages to be roughly $50 to $60 thousand a year if you get into a proper law firm. Though that will end up pushing $70k within a few years.

Many lawyers just end up setting house sales and stuff.

i'l ask a genuine question....

Australia would be probably be better than Western Europe in terms of safety. Australia copes a worse rep because we're blunt and people haven't really embraced political correctness. Major racial abuse isn't common.

Someone like Saqs might be able to explain better. I'm a white anglo-celt so there might by a lot I miss.

You won't be in any physical danger though.

We give the Poms a lot of grief but to be honest nobody dislikes them. To be honest the insults and complaints about Poms are pretty affectionate. Along with Ireland and New Zealand, Britain is a country that Australians feel a lot of kinship and brotherhood with.

Britain is like the older brother who acts like he's better than you but in the end is still your older brother.

To be honest from what I hear about Europe the anti Muslim hate is less in Australia. There is plenty of ignorance and people may privately mutter stuff but in the end I don't think it's actually something anyone really cares too much about.

Aussies are very upfront and come across slightly passive aggressive to outsiders, and yes they hate Poms. There's a lot of hubbub around asylum seekers atm and that's effectively given a microphone to all the rednecks out here to voice their opinion about sending them back to where they came from.

Everyone has their fair share of nutters, the average Australian is the best kind of person you're likely to meet.

Pretty much this. Apart from us hating the Poms. We say the same the stuff about the Poms as we say about the other states- get a Western Australian talking about anyone living east of the Nullabor for instance.

How much was the Australian character shaped by the battle of Suvla Bay in 1915?

I read that the Australian troops weren't the diggers of legend but mainly city boys who were first-generation expats.

About 39% of the Australian adult male population fought in WWI (all volunteers because we only ever had conscription in Vietnam) and given our demographics it's probably true that most soldiers were from the cities. The digger of legend over here is the young 16-21 year old kid who ran off to fight for the empire for fun and glory. The soldiers called themselves '6 bob a day tourists'. I think we had the highest casualty and death rates (from combatants) of any army in the war.

Australia actually had more deaths in WWI than in WWII despite a large population in WWII and part of WWII actually happening near Australia.

Gallipolli and ANZAC Day hold a pretty big place in Australian national identity.
And interesting fact is that it was a complete disaster so the government use to media to try and turn into a legend to prevent the population getting dispirited. And that's how Sir Keith Murdoch made his mark and a hundred years later his son dominates Western media.

Is there really a problem of animals in Australia? Like bugs and spiders in the house?

Yeah but spiders are pretty harmless.

Is cricket a dying sport in Aus?

Where do you see cricket popularity in say 20 years?

Nope. It will always be the main summer sport and the second sport in every state and territory. Also dominates country Australia which is the lifeblood of Australian sport.

The cost of living is pretty expensive. You'll almost certainly have to share a house with other students.

Some of the more likely part time jobs would be working at supermarkets, retails, night fill (stacking shelves), tutoring university students (especially if you are a PHD student), working at fast food outlets etc.

Perth would be more expensive than Melbourne and roughly the same as Sydney (cheaper rent but more expensive food).
