[QUOTE=kartarn;25505550]A real Australian has killed a Cane Toad in a brutal way.[/QUOTE] I once stuffed one into a really long tall glass once, like the collectible ones from jam and shit. His innards came out his mouth!

[QUOTE=killerteacup;25507253]Powderfinger are a very famous band here in Australia. They are possibly the only vestige of somewhat Australian rock left in Australia. Australia's not really into music as a whole, mostly we steal off America on the radio scene and stuff. Question to all: Australians - do you find them as boring as I do? Anyone else - Have you ever heard of them at all? I'm not aware of their penetration in other countries.[/QUOTE] Australia had an awesome Post-Punk scene.

Lol. Promite. Anyway, Australia is awesome. Has good education system, healthcare and generally good food. BTW OP, do you actually say "drink piss"? I have lived in Australia my whole life and have never actually heard someone say that, most I hear it ever mentioned is "get pissed".

2 things I HATE about Australia: 1. There is no R18+ rating because of that fucker Michael Atkinson 2. There is a COMPLETE BAN on airsoft weapons :( Yes, I am Australian and I love it here.

Good morning people. How was your sleep, if you got any?
Was a good sleep, but my fucking neighbours dog!!
Haha, our neighbour has dogs. But she is louder than them, and often calls her little girls, who only started school this year "fucking bitches". She is a behemoth of a woman as well.
[QUOTE=Wipmuck;25518217]Was a good sleep, but my fucking neighbours dog!![/QUOTE] Hmm, I was awakened by a barking dog that wouldn't shut up for like half an hour. Just when you think it's about to finish it starts up again.

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;25507407]what about nick cave & the bad seeds?[/QUOTE] Forgot about them. Probably don't listen to Triple J enough, yeah. But then the Australian Music scene is still kinda bad in general.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;25505201] However we still spell the Australian Labor Party incorrectly, and "Labor" should be "Labour". [/QUOTE] Not long after the Labour Party were formed, the sign writer misspelled labour and forgot the "u". Instead of creating another sign, they dropped the "u" from Labour to form the Australian Labor Party. [QUOTE=Antdawg;25505201]The States in Australia compromise of New South Wales, Queensland, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and the Australian Captial Territory.

[/QUOTE] Unknown to many Australians, Australia has never passed a bill for Freedom of Speech. Take a look here in the Parliamentary Library: [url]http://www.aph.gov.au/LIBRARY/pubs/rn/2001-02/02rn42.htm[/url] [B]The Australian Constitution does not have any express provision relating to freedom of speech. In theory, therefore, the Commonwealth Parliament may restrict or censor speech through censorship legislation or other laws, as long as they are otherwise within constitutional power.[/B] We have signed the 1966 United Nations [I]International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights[/I], however no government has implemented the free speech provisions and therefore they are not enforceable by Australian courts. Negatives aside, Australia is a great country. We have great beaches, great wildlife, great weather, & great people.
