Can’t blame Victorians for being mad. I’ve been able to delete schoos at the pub for months now. I’d loving hate to be in their position.

Sulla Faex posted:hold up. according to crocodile dundee, australians are rough and ready frontier types who overcome all hardships through iconic laconic larrikinism There was a post a few pages ago bemoaning that Australia is lucky/successful despite being a strong "she'll be right" culture. After spending 10 years overseas, I honestly think it is harder to find a country that is more opposite of it than Australia. The best example I can think of is sitting in a car with an Aussie driver overseas - it is a constant stream of the Aussie driver obviously frustrated with the queue jumpers, the speeders, the overloaded cars or bikes, in-proper parking, or many other things that more relaxed cultures don't worry about. People just let in the taxi/SUV that wants to drive up past 25 cars in a line and cut in, keep out of the road of guys in a hurry, not worry about the lady with seven kids on the back seat etc. Australians love to follow rules and be told what to do, they like rules to be enforced upon others and are unhappiest when someone seems to be getting something via a method unavailable to themselves or breaking a rule that they are too afraid to break themselves. Celestial Scribe going to a park outside of his 5km bubble - who honestly gives a poo poo? It means essentially nothing in the context of Covid except for the general theme that we must all follow the rules. If he gets fined, that sucks to be him and none of us are going to give him sympathy but its not worth going all thread-rage over it.

The problem wasn't CS's behaviour, I mean I'm not going to snitch. It was their attitude that their bad behavior was somehow justified. If you're going to be a dick fine, but don't tell me you're some noble hero for doing it. EDIT: It's also nice that I can post "Australians are poo poo" without my post getting removed for hate speech.

Like the craziest poo poo could happen here and the locals will just shrug it off, and tell me it will work itself out... Us aussies seem to think we're super laid back, but if someone cuts a line or takes their kid outside of the covid bubble, then OH MY GOD loving HELL Also Aussie drivers are just the loving worst at road rage.

There’s a bit of a difference between jumping a queue at BWS and breaching biosecurity because you don’t think they should apply to you.

There’s a contradiction in every Australian’s heart between a “fair-go” and “she’ll be right”. How can one reconcile the fact that saying “she’ll be right” to someone breaking the rules is, in fact, denying another a “fair-go”? What would you do if your “fair-go” required her to actually be not right? It is an impossible situation.

Can't find the tweet 'cos the guy's account's locked, but the most real tweet about Australia mindset went something like "I'm an Australian, this means in my head there is a list of rules that are fine for me to break, and a list of rules that other people should be ultramurdered for breaking. There is some overlap in the two lists."

Most likely just a close-minded, privileged viewpoint that is common when your country is full of FYGM types

RCG had been declared unsuitable for release following conviction for a number of serious sex crimes and was serving a period of indefinite detention. At the time of his death he had been in jail for 28 years and institutionalised most of his life. He was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2013, after initially refusing extensive testing in 2011. He was made to wear shackles while undergoing palliative care at Royal Perth hospital and the shackles were only removed after he died.

EDIT: As a side note it's really fuckin weird that this thread which advocates abolishing the police is in favour of so many of these measures that exist purely to make policing easier. Curfew, etc, had no fuckin point except to make it easier to police and fine people. Anyway it doesn't matter now, I'm happy with the new restrictions and the roadmap so whatever.
