Not sure about Scozbo & Dennis J.
We Aussies like to enjoy life.
My wife had to go back to the USA recently for her grandfathers funeral. She told me that everytime she turned on the TV there were screaming headline panic-inducing news reports about WW3 with N Korea, or Killer Bees (again) or West Nile disease, Bird Flu etc etc. Anyone who saw Michael Moore's film knows what I mean.
In Australia we don't like to be scared. If the media tried to do with us what they do to the USA people would just switch off, but you guys somehow seem addicted to horror news. We don'y buy into that stuff. The weather's nice, the people are fairly chilled, the standard of living is good, we eat well, the beaches are great, the countryside is beautiful...
Sydney, Melbourne & Toronto recently tied in first place as the best places in the world to live.
It ain't perfect - where is? But we don't get bad news rammed down our throats. Life is for living, no worries, mate!
We're not hiding...we are just far far away from all that nonsense, and we wouldn't have it any other way.

They dont need to get involved in anything, they are geographically separated. However they have sent a small number of troops to Iraq. They always back the British.

Australia likes to think it is bigger than it really is. It is a bit player in the world, but likes to think it is one of the big guys.

The Aussies are always doing something that's in the news, you're just not looking in the right spot.

Since the Aussies are just America's lapdog and always do what the U.S. wants of them, they are safely ignored. That's why.
