That’s it. That’s the post.
oh you guys are still around? I thought the whole country burned to the ground a few years ago
Unfortunately some Socialists instituted a strong professional and volunteer emergency service decades back and the Liberals haven’t gutted it yet.
I was in Sydney during one of the union strikes when the CFMEU was getting attacked for 1/100th the level of corruption the LNP got away with. Glad to see there is still solidarity. Unions seem hit or miss in Australia but the overall consensus seems to be pro rather than anti which is a plus.
In Queensland the SES was established by Bjelke-Petersen in the 70s and was moved this year to the police agency by Labor
Its just infested with liberals and fascists. Otherwise its pretty cool.
I had no idea how small a platypus was until I saw one irl. For some reason I assumed they were wombat sized
The world is pretty shit tbh.

Australia feels so much better than the U.S. I like being here. It’s still neolib af don’t get me wrong, but on a personal level I feel much safer here than when I’m back home in the U.S.
Fair enough. That’s valid.
I just see how unique this country is and hate how much the white ppl here want to bulldoze over every Koala and turn us into the US
Yeah. I get that feeling too. Like in ten years something it’ll just be just as bad. I’ve noticed white Australians are way more racist than I expected.
To be fair a lot of white people in Australia absolutely abhor the yanks, culturally at least. And not just “haha weak beer and worse version of football”.
Any time a business tries to introduce tipping and the local Facebook page erupts in Anti American Aktion. They’ll fall for similar Murdoch pushed myths, they’ll even believe Qanon/Qanon adjacent conspiracy theories, but my god olmate down at the pub will body shame the penis size of someone he sees driving a Ford 150 Yank Tank at the pub to his mates.
One of the regulars at the pub I worked before I moved back to China was having a rant about how the US better not drag Australia into yet another war in Ukraine or the Middle East.
There’s a real unique love-hate relationship with the Yanks
the white ppl here want to… turn us into the US
