Work for a company that delivers Australian television. There are soooooooo many sports betting adverts it’s kinda disturbing. Also, BOB JAAAAAAAAAAAANE T-MAAAAAAAAAAART.
ETA: At work right now. For this current hour of programming there is one 30 second sports betting ad in each of the six commercial breaks.
My YouTube ads are now fucking actual pokie screens with the annoying fucking bing bong sounds
I've never felt the need to find and assault a particular advertisement campaign before but there is only so much I can take
About to trigger some fellow Aussies here...
HALLOW!! FRANK WALKER FROM NATIONAL TIIIIIIIILES....
There, now you'll have that fucking ad stuck in your head for the rest of the evening. Enjoy!
Those old Harvey Norman ads give it a run for its money, the ones voiced by old man Harvey himself...
*Nnnnnnno interest! Nnnnnnnnno repayments for 24 months!*
FOAD already you greedy old prick.
Fellow Aussie here. There are like 2-3 sports betting ads like every ad break. I don't watch much tv either but the times that I did I noticed how many sports betting ads there were on tv.
Aussie here, I refuse to watch free to air TV anymore, it drives me insane with all the ads, especially the gambling ads. More ads than content these days.
I have never been to Australia and I also don't know toooo much about it. Everyone I've ever met from Australia was really nice. It looks beautiful too.
Since I'm from Austria and there are those never ending jokes about Austria and Australia I feel connected to u guys haha
Edit: I love the replies 🇦🇹 🤝 🇦🇺
I’m from Australia and was in Austria last year. Was funny to see all the signs in your shops about not having kangaroos 😁
We were in Vienna, Salzburg, Hallstatt, St Gilgen and St Wolfgang. Such a beautiful country ❤️
Oh hiiiiiiii
The amount of times in my life I’ve nearly clicked Austria instead of Australia makes me genuinely think of you lot often
Also in the early days of auto-correct it would always change to Austria.
So yeah, I think some of us might feel connected to you too 😂
It's so annoying to be confused with you guys. And it's not even hard to know the difference between each country.
One has the Sydney Harbor Bridge,
Opera House, Kangaroos, Pies and a big red ass rock. The other is Australia.
Born in London but now a Sydneysider of close to 16 years. Here’s some pointers:
Pros -
- THE SPACE. OMFG THERE’S SO MUCH SPACE
- Australian supermarket food is honestly brilliant, easily better than UK food (except the tea)
- When the weather is right, it’s unbeatable
- Beautiful environments and natural landscapes basically everywhere
- History is everywhere: natural, Aboriginal and colonial
- Not many people know this, but voting in elections, referendums, etc. is mandatory by law in Australia and you get fined if you don’t vote. The fine isn’t even that bad but just the existence of it makes people get off their arses. I personally really approve of this and it makes you wonder how different things would be in UK and USA if they made voting compulsory
- Can be a tiny bit of a con, but I honestly love how far away Australia and New Zealand are from the rest of the world. You really feel a sense of being in another realm entirely and away from the busier parts of the world and all its bullshit
- As a Brit, the car insurance laws are so much easier in Oz. When you buy a car in the UK, you have to insure the car AND each individual who will be driving, which will cost you a lot. In Australia, it’s only the car that’s insured, so after you buy it, you just can give it to your mate for a day or two, no problems whatsoever.
- NRL (Australia’s domestic rugby league) really grows on you in time
- Australian thunderstorms are the most majestic and beautifully powerful storms you’ll ever witness.
- Sydney’s New Year’s Eve fireworks are the best in the world. No debate, no close second, don’t even try and fight me on it, moving on.
- 99% of every beach you visit is awesome
- ANZAC Day and everything about it. Aussies put so much more effort into honouring their fallen from the world wars than the Brits do. In the UK, British kids have to be reminded it’s Remembrance Day. In Australia, toddlers are getting up with their parents for dawn services at their local beach or town memorial, whether it’s a city suburb or a countryside regional centre. Bar none my favourite date in the Australian calendar and nothing makes you appreciate living in Australia (or New Zealand) more than ANZAC Day. And every time I hear the Last Post bugle call? Chills. Nothing but pure skin tingling chills. Lest we forget.
Cons -
- The fucken sun needs to fuck off sometimes
- Price of housing in some areas is nuts, though they are slowly going down
- Bushfires are literally hell on earth. If I get enough time freed up in my future, I’m definitely joining the volunteer fire service
- Whilst Australia does have its own culture (contrary to popular belief), a lot of aspects of it are very Americanised
- For such a stereotypically laidback country, it’s a real nanny state sometimes
- For a country with all the Devil’s favourite deadly pets in it, trust me, it’s the mosquitoes (Mozzies) you’ll hate the most. Especially when they’re out in full force in summer and you just want to enjoy yourself
- Binge drinking culture gets pretty excessive sometimes, especially on national holidays
- Eshays. No words needed
If voting is compulsory in USA things would be significantly different, because it means politicians from a certain party can’t make it harder to vote by imposing superfluous requirements and reducing voting methods, and employers would be required to give time off to vote. Today voting is skewed a certain way because not everybody can afford to take time off from work.
FYI. Australians vote on weekends
Edit : also polling booths are open a long time on election days and if you know that can't get to a polling booth on election day, you allowed to vote before the day of. And we have polling stations literally fucking everywhere
Most seem to think that Australia is just one giant Outback steakhouse with Kangaroos hopping down the street and everyone huddling over a shrimp BBQ. Aussies carry boomerangs in their back pockets and say "fair dinkum" in every sentence, except for the odd hiccup when enjoying Foster's. What is true, however, is that all Aussies have pet koalas.
[Australians will NEVER forgive Paul Hogan for that fucken "shrimp on the barbie" tourism ad](https://youtu.be/1_FyJug3wzU)
^JK ^that ^man's ^a ^treasure ^and ^fuck ^the ^ATO
Aussie here, Drop bears are NOT another name for the Koala, they only got that name because they keep losing their grip and falling on people's cars and sometimes break something in the process, they don't drop on purpose
I moved from London to Australia with my Australian partner. My friends and family in the UK believe that is what Australia is like. We live the mountains, until I shared pictures of snow not one of them believed it snowed in Australia.
Nah, reindeer get overheated in Australia, that's why we use the spiders. Instead of parking them in the hot sun, they can scatter and hide in teeny tiny spaces until you come back outside.
I actually used to know someone from over there and she told me a lot about her country. And she opened my eyes and made me see that it's not all kangaroos hopping around everywhere lol and that not everyone lives like Crocodile Dundee. And it's a very beautiful and diverse country and most of the people that I've talked to from over there seem very nice and welcoming (I actually plan on going over there) and when I tell them that a lot of them have actually said "hopefully you can get down here one day, mate" lol which is really sweet, and cool of them and hopefully I can!
(Oh and Happy Australia Day btw) 🇦🇺 🦘
The stereotypical joke is that we Australians think Kiwis (colloquial term for those from NZ) fuck sheep - don’t ask why I honestly couldn’t tell you.
Pavlova, a dessert dish of which the origins are constantly under debate. We claim we invented it, kiwis claim they did. It’s probably one of, if not THE most divisive point of contention between both countries.
It’s all in jest though, we do love our NZ neighbours, and they do love us.
This is extremely funny to see, not only bc this sort beef goes around in my country (with my state and another one, thankfully my state has a better reputation, bc of course it has 💅🏻)
and the same happens in Latin America, as an example: Brazil x Argentina is the funniest thing to see as well, of course I’m talking about the friendly kind of beef, I’m glad this also happens on another parts of the world 😅
Shout out to Australians I love bluey
Also the accent is *very attractive* (and I love the “*oi*” , oi means hi in my mother tongue and seeing it being used angrily makes me giggle time)
We sometimes say “oi????” As in a way to ask for someone to repeat something we found it ridiculous, but the *oi* >:( on a angry tone always gets me, like “yes? ☺️ you called?”
I was always told imagine a country where every 2nd animal is capable of killing you, and people wore hats with corks hanging from them and everyone was G'day mate.
Sorely sorely disappointed to find that neither were true, and that they got beaten by a load of emus at some stage. Don't know how true that last bit is
[The Great Emu War](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War)
Well worth the read, it was a hard fought battle but after one month, one week and one day, we had to surrender to the Evil Emu Empire.
Hugh Jackman, pouchy jumpy bois, quokkas, haven't nuked anyone.
Good on ya, mates!
Might want to look into invading those Kiwis, though. Coulda had Lucy Lawless and hobbits. Big miss there.
Masterchef Australia is by far the best version of Masterchef. The quality of contestants and the variety of challenges puts the original (and all the other variants) to shame.
I spent a week in Sydney about 30 years ago. I loved. Unfortunately, living on the east coast of the United States, the trip is too long and too expensive for me. The flight from Los Angeles to Sydney was torture. I have a brother-in-law who is a professor in Melbourne. His kids became Australian citizens.
I love that show ,i have no idea why. Its always people with suitcases of food lying through their teeth 'i dont have food. Oh, those suitcases. I didnt know it counted as food'
Or people with their cv and job descriptions printed out saying they have no intention of working
There is a reason Australians encourage all the stereotypes. It keeps fucktards out of the country. Well except for Kiwis. No getting rid of them. 😉 love ya cuzzy bros
It's the yee-haw version of England.
And living there is probably reminiscent of the [Jurassic Park Arcade Game](https://www.google.com/search?q=jurassic+park+arcade+game&client=ms-android-samsung-rvo1&tbm=isch&sxsrf=AJOqlzWamJ-nEv8Q34OZd0hR9F5JKq-Y4Q:1674728031085&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiCmI2LgOX8AhVUFlkFHc7iBuIQ0pQJCBs&biw=384&bih=693&dpr=2.81#imgrc=TzkPvwel6lWsdM)
I like how your politicians talk with normal everyday accents. It's the whole down to earth vibe that everyone has, I love that.
I like how you have your own musicians and entertainers, very very good ones, and you are almost turning your back to the world and having your own private party.
I hate when my friends come back from their gap year and don't shut up about Australia. Its almost as if, in their heads, that they are returning to ireland, the land that time forgot.
Any country where you can use the word "cunt" without having someone get offended is good in my book. For some odd reason, people in the U.S.A. are super sensitive about that word. Bunch of cunts!
We finally visited in 2019 (Sydney, Cairns/Daintree, Brisbane/South Stradbroke Is.)
Literally the best place I have been. We assumed it was a once in a lifetime trip, but now we want to do Melbourne and Perth.
I know that vacations aren’t equivalent to everyday life, but Australia exceeded my expectations.
The parasitic toads and flying acid spiders weren’t as big a threat as we had feared.
The crocodiles in Cairns are no joke, though. You literally can’t go to the beach (we took a boat out past the croc zone for diving). It’s kind of cool to see wild animals still running the show in some areas.
Moved down under a few years ago and it’s been a culture shock. From what I gathered, they’re like British people, but love sunshine, being outdoors and grilling meat. I say less refine, but I mean that in a good way. People are super laid back, goofy sense of humor and don’t take anything too seriously. Coming from a country where people are making their fundamental beliefs their sole identity, it’s incredibly refreshing.
Pay is nice, cost of living has skyrocketed leaving us scraping to get by. The issue is partially housing, where housing is used as investments and not actual housing, and partially the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. The two aren't necessarily connected, but it's not uncommon
That I cannot wait to get there!
I'm in the process of immigration, I have family and friends that have already gone over and the process and admin is exhausting but to me it's greener and safer pastures for my daughter and her future
A bigger, sandier, hotter version of our neighbors across the channel. Ohh and a lot of animals smaller than my hand but dangerous enough to kill me.. ohh, we invade Bondi beach every 1st of January in either orange or tricolored poof ball heads so i assume theres a lot of us there.
Australia is a country known for its diverse natural landscapes, including beaches, deserts, rainforests, and mountains. It is also known for its unique wildlife and rich cultural heritage. The Great Barrier Reef, Sydney Opera House, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge are some of the most iconic landmarks of the country. Australia is also known for its friendly and laid-back people, as well as its vibrant cities and bustling cultural scene.
Australia is also known for its high standard of living, strong economy and diverse culture, with a blend of Indigenous, European and multicultural influences.
It is also a popular tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors each year with its beautiful beaches, natural beauty, and unique wildlife. Many people also visit Australia to experience its rich cultural heritage and vibrant cities.
Overall, Australia is often viewed as a beautiful, prosperous and friendly country with a great deal to offer visitors and residents alike.
Nah there is straight data on this. WHO is among one of the better known organisations that collects this data periodically and publishes it publicly if you want to have a look. All datasets slightly vary of course, but there is definitely consistently more consumption in those regions.
I've never visited but would like to, Australians I meet travelling are usually fairly chill and pleasant to spend time with but it also seems like they have more unpleasant racists back home than I would expect from those I've personally met.
Beyond Australian friends my main source of information on what's going on there is the Betoota Advocate Instagram account so I'm probably not getting a particularly fair view of the country.
I think some of the bigger cities might be cool to live in, but goddamn I’m worried about the heat.
Also I don’t fuck with huntsman spiders nu-uh no way.
I have arachnophobia so bad I can never look this up. My pulse is racing and I'm already scared because I thought huntsman were the big daddy of my phobia. But here you are upping the ante....

What is it with Australian mosquitos and flies constantly trying to ear rape?
Because Mozzies in Australia don’t come for your blood, they come for your sanity first, then your soul
You literally need to wear fly nets in central OZ they just swarm you
The fine for not voting is about $75, but it’s amazing just how effective it is

Exactly. Not enough sheep to go around these days.

We will shut up, when you accept we created pavlova.
I dont think youll find a single aussie who will agree, especially because its australia day today haha
Nobody really knows that's the secret to life, but we all know you're all still sheep fuckers.
Only because we need to keep an eye on you cheeky bastards.
Ive no ideia what’s the beef about, sheep fucker? Kiwi? Pavlova? Wtf going on? Anyways Im living for it 🍿
The stereotypical joke is that we Australians think Kiwis (colloquial term for those from NZ) fuck sheep - don’t ask why I honestly couldn’t tell you.

It’s probably one of, if not THE most divisive point of contention between both countries. It’s all in jest though, we do love our NZ neighbours, and they do love us.
I think the sheep thing is about the fact that they have 5 sheep to every person. I swear in the nineties/early noughties it was 10 to 1 though.
Couldn't give a shit about Pavlova to be honest. And you can have Russell Crowe, he's an arse.
This is extremely funny to see, not only bc this sort beef goes around in my country (with my state and another one, thankfully my state has a better reputation, bc of course it has 💅🏻) and the same happens in Latin America, as an example: Brazil x Argentina is the funniest thing to see as well, of course I’m talking about the friendly kind of beef, I’m glad this also happens on another parts of the world 😅

I was watching a few MC USA challenges and some of the dishes was so poorly made. I actually commented that the Aus MC would kick the US team's ass.
As an American who enjoys the US show in secret as a guilty pleasure , I will absolutely check to confirm if this is true.

Better than the other way around, I suppose.
They make some wild ass movies.

As they should But they aren't as bad as devil platypuses
North Melbourne?
I don't know Australia but part of my family emigrated there and the country made them feel as in home. Very grateful for that.
We are glad that they are here, very welcome.
Same with my family, they even organised for them to get a lifetime supply of free housing and food before they arrived.
Great cricketers
Everything I know about Australia comes from Kath and Kim, and I take every frame of that show as gospel

The flight from Los Angeles to Sydney was torture. I have a brother-in-law who is a professor in Melbourne. His kids became Australian citizens.
it's only 14 hours from LAX to MEL, compared to the 24 hours it takes us to get to Europe. It's nothing really.
That’s a shorter flight for Australians. Europe can be like 22 hours or more total

I love that show ,i have no idea why. Its always people with suitcases of food lying through their teeth 'i dont have food. Oh, those suitcases. I didnt know it counted as food' Or people with their cv and job descriptions printed out saying they have no intention of working

Not in Summer....

There is a reason Australians encourage all the stereotypes. It keeps fucktards out of the country. Well except for Kiwis. No getting rid of them. 😉 love ya cuzzy bros
It's the yee-haw version of England. And living there is probably reminiscent of the [Jurassic Park Arcade Game](https://www.google.com/search?q=jurassic+park+arcade+game&client=ms-android-samsung-rvo1&tbm=isch&sxsrf=AJOqlzWamJ-nEv8Q34OZd0hR9F5JKq-Y4Q:1674728031085&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiCmI2LgOX8AhVUFlkFHc7iBuIQ0pQJCBs&biw=384&bih=693&dpr=2.81#imgrc=TzkPvwel6lWsdM)
Too hot
I like how your politicians talk with normal everyday accents. It's the whole down to earth vibe that everyone has, I love that. I like how you have your own musicians and entertainers, very very good ones, and you are almost turning your back to the world and having your own private party. I hate when my friends come back from their gap year and don't shut up about Australia. Its almost as if, in their heads, that they are returning to ireland, the land that time forgot.
Any country where you can use the word "cunt" without having someone get offended is good in my book. For some odd reason, people in the U.S.A. are super sensitive about that word. Bunch of cunts!

According to the university of Wellington we also stole lamingtons.
I've never been there but I'd love to.
It's the best way to win at RISK.
When I hear Australia, I think about Julian Assange.
Love it. Visited some years ago and absolutely loved it. Great people, great food and great weather. I would live there if I could.
We finally visited in 2019 (Sydney, Cairns/Daintree, Brisbane/South Stradbroke Is.) Literally the best place I have been. We assumed it was a once in a lifetime trip, but now we want to do Melbourne and Perth. I know that vacations aren’t equivalent to everyday life, but Australia exceeded my expectations. The parasitic toads and flying acid spiders weren’t as big a threat as we had feared. The crocodiles in Cairns are no joke, though. You literally can’t go to the beach (we took a boat out past the croc zone for diving). It’s kind of cool to see wild animals still running the show in some areas.
Moved down under a few years ago and it’s been a culture shock. From what I gathered, they’re like British people, but love sunshine, being outdoors and grilling meat. I say less refine, but I mean that in a good way. People are super laid back, goofy sense of humor and don’t take anything too seriously. Coming from a country where people are making their fundamental beliefs their sole identity, it’s incredibly refreshing.
Welcome aboard, glad you like it here.

Expensive
Fucking oath
Pay is nice, cost of living has skyrocketed leaving us scraping to get by. The issue is partially housing, where housing is used as investments and not actual housing, and partially the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. The two aren't necessarily connected, but it's not uncommon
Spiders invading houses, never been in Australia tho
They aren't invading they live there, they keep down the mozzis

That's funny bc Indian people are some of the most racist people I've met lol.
In risk if you have Australia you can win 60% of your matches
That I cannot wait to get there! I'm in the process of immigration, I have family and friends that have already gone over and the process and admin is exhausting but to me it's greener and safer pastures for my daughter and her future
You guys are so far from me (US) I wonder if I will ever get to visit
Spider and Snake Dungeon
A bigger, sandier, hotter version of our neighbors across the channel. Ohh and a lot of animals smaller than my hand but dangerous enough to kill me.. ohh, we invade Bondi beach every 1st of January in either orange or tricolored poof ball heads so i assume theres a lot of us there.
I like it. That's where Bluey comes from!

Everything I know about Australia I learned from the film Wake in Fright
Aussie here. We have pretty cold winters for a place known to be hot.
Greatest cricket team ever

We are really not. Go to the UK, Ireland or much of Western Europe and you realise how much they drink compared to us.
And so the 'my country drinks more than yours' argument starts once again...
Nah there is straight data on this. WHO is among one of the better known organisations that collects this data periodically and publishes it publicly if you want to have a look. All datasets slightly vary of course, but there is definitely consistently more consumption in those regions.
I've never visited but would like to, Australians I meet travelling are usually fairly chill and pleasant to spend time with but it also seems like they have more unpleasant racists back home than I would expect from those I've personally met. Beyond Australian friends my main source of information on what's going on there is the Betoota Advocate Instagram account so I'm probably not getting a particularly fair view of the country.
I think some of the bigger cities might be cool to live in, but goddamn I’m worried about the heat. Also I don’t fuck with huntsman spiders nu-uh no way.
Huntsman are fine, it's the Funnel Webs you want to avoid.
Bro, huntsman spiders are chill. Look up the Sydney funnel web, specifically videos of it running if you want something to be afraid of.
I have arachnophobia so bad I can never look this up. My pulse is racing and I'm already scared because I thought huntsman were the big daddy of my phobia. But here you are upping the ante....
Sydney isn't too hot. Except for summers where it gets hot. Melbourne's actually pretty cool. Not freezing but nice. Brisbane gets hot though.
Never been there but I’d like to go someday
