Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise.
Many Australians have an over-inflated view of Australia. Like Kochie on Sunrise they spout all the 'greatest country in the world', 'Australians are the greatest people ever', 'no one else in the world comes close to how good we are'... jingoistic rubbish. There's nothing really that 'special' about people who happen to be lucky enough to live in the lucky country.There are many lists around suggesting Australians have invented a whole swathe of different 'inventions'... on closer inspection though it's clear that Australians aren't as inventive as they crack themselves up to be.

What have Australians ever invented?
