I think the White Australia Policy was disgusting, the second worst thing we've done (behind the Stolen Generation and only just ahead of the Cronulla Riots and Pauline Hanson/One Nation) and of course we're better off for it. Just because it's politically correct but because it's the right...

I'm finished studying history, finished high school 3 years :-) And I'm sure there are some interesting things that happened, but really it's just Federation, Two World Wars, Westminster Act, White Australia Policy, Whitlam Dismissal, Australia Act. Done. I mean really? It's not that...

That wouldn't surprise me, if I was in the UK and you invited me over for a drink, I'd invite all the aussies I know ;-)

Well we do have a great RAAF base in Williamtown if it's the Air Force you're in (that's where I grew up), or if it's the Army, I'm pretty sure the barracks at Adamstown are still open. Not 100% sure on that though... As long as you continue to educate yourself, I do worry about our...

Good onya mate, you should do to James Cook University in Cairns to do marine biology, brillant little campus and a great town in general, recently scuba dove the GBR, and it's amazing!

It's not as bad as I make it out, it's just after living your whole life in the same city (well basically, grew up not far from it and then moved into the CBD for uni) you start to see the bad as well as the good. The university lifestyle is amazing, as are the beaches. But yes, a lot of bogans...

I love you... I knew Stephen Fry would have something to say along those lines... I too love it, wish I had time to study it more (I do engineering, no spare time with that degree...) but I try my hardest to learn as much as possible. I should mention I grew up an hours north of Newcastle...

Sadly enough there is a frightening large percent of the population of this country that represent this guy... Hopefully not itchcrotch though, we need as many "good" Australian on the interwebs showing the world we're not really a bunch of racist bogans

Wow, you're lucky, I had to wait until year 9 and 10, and even then learnt most of the White Australia Policy from history majors and university :-( teaches me for going to a rural public school. That really sucks. I do think Australian history is pretty dry and boring (no civil war or quest...

Really? Nothing? No stolen Generation, or White Australia Policy? Not even WW1 or WW2? I do hope you're in year 7 or 8, because by the end of compulsory history I had learnt all of that. I'm from Newcastle, NSW

That makes sense then, I was about to comment that I didn't really learn Australian history until high school and pretty much the first thing I learnt was the Stolen Generation and that we were dicks when we got here. Also was pretty disgusted that the White Australia Policy existed right upto...

I'd have to rate Dark Angels as my favourite, mostly because they're the only Space Marines I could probably play being an old time Choas player. Actually seem interesting to me (not that others don't, I dont' mind Blood Angels and Salamanders) But I loath Ultramarines for the exact same...

Wow, I'm so tired, that was meant to say the opposite, no idea why I said that...

Today (as of 2 hours ago) all the state attorney generals agreed (in principle) to a R18+ rating for Australia! So now we can finally stop being the joke of a gaming country! ABC Online News...

Yeah, can't stand MacDonalds but then again I'm vegetarian. I live in Australia and two places I eat at are Oporto and Grill'd. They're both great places for a burger (and actually have good vego burgers too). Also you can't go past your local fish 'n' chips shop. Plus pizza, domino's or pizza...
