I've been all over the world (including Antarctica). And in all my travels, I've never met a friendlier or more accomodating nationality that the Australians. (Seriously). I don't find them pushy; I find them "unreserved;" and some may view that as pushiness; but I certainly do not. "No Worries."

Depends on the Aussie. General experience is that if the person has travelled, they are not...if the person has NOT travelled, more likely so.
When I lived in Britain, all us ladies from all different countries would talk about the differences in the different guys, and aussie men always came up as #1 or #2. The aussie ladies (newcomers) would always say how untrue that was, that aussie men were pushy and loud and rude. But, after living there some time, they would start to agree with us and say it must be that all the good ones go overseas :-) I think travel just changes your outlook on things a bit. I experienced the same thing with Kiwi men, the ones who never travel are obnoxious.

I agree with the other ten thousand posters.
Aussies tend to be extravert rather than pushy, and are generally great people. I like Aussies, even if you are thinking about becoming a republic. :)

I'd say that it would be better to ask if city dwellers were more pushy than more rural folks....people in New York or Sydney are more pushy than people in smaller farm towns in either country. In my experience, the pushiest people I've met are French Canadians.

If your from Melbourne or Sydney you may come across that way only because we work in such a fast paced environment. But as a rule Id say we're not pushy

I have to agree with krazykat.
I like to think that us Aussies are pretty laid-back, with a no-worries attitude. But there are good and bad elements in every society, so it's hard to say it's all black-and-white.

Pushy, don't think so mate.
Aussies are pretty laid back, however I guess you might come across a few.
A few being the term, unlike the norm.
