    Ouch... copyright infraction... typical Aussies... can't come up with anything original.

    Proud to be an Aussie?

    My mother is full Maori. I'm half Maori. The half of me that is Pakeha does not reject my Maori culture. Neither do my family who are 100% Pakeha. Indeed, they embrace Maori culture just as much as anyone else. New Zealanders are mature enough to accept and embrace Maori culture without...

    So why do you think the place is so s**t you are encouraging people to leave? Do you really think Australia is that bad?

    Proud to be an Aussie?

    And I guess that's where our two nations diverge... Maori got the right to vote in 1840... in your country you resisted until 1967 (to finally give Aboriginal people citizenship)... It's 2019 and you still ridicule indigenous culture. It's 'some weird comedy dance'. You're way out of step...

    Meantime across the Tasman Kiwis continue to embrace their own identity.

    Where? Scomo spent the entire election campaign telling us 'How good is Australia'...

    Proud to be an Aussie?

    I think the younger generation is not buying into the bullshit anymore. The have access to the rest of the world unfiltered 24/7 in a way we never did... When David Koch on Sunrise says something like 'Only Aussies can truly....' they know that's bullshit straight away.

    Proud to be an Aussie?

    I get sick of all the Kochie-styled 'Australia's the greatest country in the world' type rhetoric that is wheeled out on a daily basis in this country. Australia is a good country. But please don't tell me it's the greatest society to have ever graced the face of the earth and Australians are...

    Anyone ever changed sporting allegiances?

    When Robbie Deans was passed over for the ABs top gig, many of us Mainlanders were secretly hoping he would do well with the Wallabies. We hate Auckland.

    Anyone ever changed sporting allegiances?

    I remember watching a Johnny Unitas tribute before a Colts game @ Ravens... It was really weird watching both sides pay tribute...

    Anyone ever changed sporting allegiances?

    Now the Colts I could understand... But the Ravens?

    Which country produces the best comedy?

    Well it was Stewart Copeland's skip... and he called Sting... UK comedy... delivered so deadpan... yet so funny...
  16. R Chee Manning

    Which country produces the best comedy?

    Definitely. Well written, well acted. Self-deprecation when done well by Australians - works well. I think that's why Norman Gunstan had such appeal. Sadly, most Australians don't share this style of humor.

    Politics & Government 2019 Election: Australia's Shame

    Tony Abbott made a great speech. One thing he highlighted was the divide between the rich inner urban green-leaning seats and the rest of us.

    Is a Cosby jumper a piece of woollen apparel? Or something placed in a drink?

    Which country produces the best comedy?

    Well I bet we won't hear anyone say that for a million years... And I bet we won't hear them say that for a million more...

    Which country produces the best comedy?

    Yes... but it was certainly not a liberal show... it preached conservative values... and there was always some schmultzy moral 'lesson' at the end of every episode as with all American sitcoms at the time...
  22. R Chee Manning

    Which country produces the best comedy?

    Arrested Development (sans S4 & 5) - definitely. As good as anything the Poms ever produced. Sharp, witty and intelligent. Layered with in-jokes that you didn't even pick up the first time... there's something incredibly wonderful about comedic writing that can create a laugh on more than one...

    Australians aren't known for their originality.

    Which country produces the best comedy?

    The Poms are masters at self deprecating humor.

    Arts & Humanities Bob Hawke

    RIP Hawkey. I arrived in Australia in 1988. Even as a conservative, I have great admiration for Bob. A man of the people and a wonderful egalitarian. Australia had so much aspiration, enthusiasm and drive when he was at the helm.
