What is Australia's favorite pastime aside from sports?

Haha. People here love beer and barbies too. At first I thought this thread was about someone doubtful of and pissed off at Australia. Lol.

In your opinion what's the main problem of Australia? Yes, I love questions.

the government and water usage.

I know you want your rank pushed up to gold king Knight

What exactly about the government? You support the Coalition? Oh, and the wish to be a gold king has been a passive want. I haven't really focused on getting it to be honest. I've just found myself here with 8000 posts and 17000 points after two years.

No way! labor and greens all the way man! i just meant the leadership turmoil recently and the election.

I knew you supported Labour. Aye, that mess wasn't desirable at all. Anyway, since this thread has mainly been a discussion between each other I'll leave it at that.

Before that, what do you think is the best thing about Oz?

The land. it's rich history and astounding beauty.

Australia's anthem is "Advance Australia Fair",right? I want to be sure...And what kind of government does Australia have? Like is it Capitalist like the good ol' USA? Or something else?

our two major parties are labor and liberal although The greens (which are environmental based) are fast becoming a big player.

have you already see a kangaroo?

Our anthem
Verse 1
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.



Verse 2
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
it seems a bit too English too me. what do you think?
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
