I worked in a multi-national corporation.
Many of the Brits disliked Aussie's; but that is usually because the Brits still have this class-distinction hangover.
Personally, I never met an Aussie I didn't like, or that I couldn't party with.
In the event my country becomes full-on socialist, please leave me a small spread of land in the outback so I can hide from the almighty Authorities.
Thanks, mates. Now, open another beer...
(10 points to Topcop. It's not in Aussie nature to wimp out.)

for me, it would be jealousy! In the U.N. human index report you are ahead of this country U.S. when it comes to adjusted real income, medical care and educational opportunities I loved the year Paul Hogan said that Australia was where the America's cup was one year!!
I think that a country which started out with convicts from England which has become all you are now can only be admired, and perhaps without you down under, there would have been no Crocodile Dundee!! lol

The year: 1963
The Location: Laos
The Situation: Operation Donharashata
Who: Coaliaton of Forces: American, English, Austrialian, Thai
Op Order: Test the resolve of N. Vietnam to our presence in Laos
Results: I have never served with a finer groups of individuals. The Aussies had the highest morale of any of the troops there. Serving with the Military Police it was very "interesting" to learn how the Aussie's handled their "problem" troops".
I learned a lot from them and it assisted me throught out my law enforcement career.
They were always cheerful, up for any mission and never -ever shirked from assignment.

We should be proud of our Aussie-ness because that is what makes Australia attractive to other people.

Liloith (and many other people) seem unaware that AUstralias existence as a criminal colony was made necessary because after 1776 USA was no longer a destination the English could use for their convicts. Before 1776 plenty of convicts were sent to what was to become USA.

I'm 60 and I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Aussies. And everyone wants to go there. It seem like the last frontier. And I'm fascinated with the Aboriginals.

I love your country, as well as you guys! You're so warm, so friendly. You can walk down the street and have people say "Hello" to you! And you're very funny people too.
I went to Brisbane on holiday 3 years ago and still love you Aussies!
Filipino, by the way.

I'm from Alaska. I have watched a lot of shows with Aussie men and most of them seem to be players, they can't get enough of women. They seem to be very metrosexual, know how to dress. Love the accents and the women are beautiful. Oh yea and I have seen a lot about good witches in Australia...whats up with that? Oh and I think of Hillsong too...
