Talk:Australia

Liberal Party

Again the somewhat unusual US usage of the word "liberal" rears its head. The Australian Labor Party is not "more liberal" than the Liberal Party. --Horace 00:38, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

"The amazing thing about Australian native animals like the koala and the kangaroo is that they have the amazing ability to adapt to living in densely populated urban areas. Kangaroos are frequently sighted roaming the streets of Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne."

This is the most ridiculous statement I've read on this encyclopædia, and that's saying something. I've removed this from this article, because it is a blatant untruth. If an American is going to write an article about Australia, the do a little research and don't just write about a stereotype.

We don't drink Foster's, you can't even find it at most bars. Dingoes don't eat our babies. We don't all wear slouch hats, and we don't kick people with giant boots as a punishment. If you're interested in learning more visit this article. Dallas 07:02, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

Aren't kangaroos becoming somewhat of a nuisance in public places? I would imagine that much like deer here in the US, as their population grows, they start wandering into developed areas looking for food. Now when I was visiting Australia last year I did only see them in the outback and Adelaide area and nowhere near Sydney. Also, I did find it funny that Budweiser was the import of choice. VB ... awesome, I wish they sold it here. Jrssr5 14:30, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

This article is ridiculous

Irrelevent information, bad spelling. Is it a joke?

Medals dangling from hats???

Are you serious? That sounds like nonsense to me. --Horace 07:30, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
