Can I get some more uniquely Aussie foods for my files please? Or are you all a bunch of gronk cunts?

Sausage rolls and lamingtons. Pavlova.

Sausage rolls and pavlova are imports but we've made them our own.

Hamburger with the lot (yes, egg, beetroot and pineapple do belong on burgers).

Chiko rolls (these are disgusting).

Meat pies are dead easy to make.

Years ago you helped me figure out a good sausage roll recipe to make at home. I still make them often; they're my favorite easy lunch to bring on a fishing trip.
Go on ...

Good quality butcher's mince is the key to getting a rich, meaty flavour. When it's brown add finely chopped onions and herbs. Mixed herbs are fine or you can add your favourite herbs, but thyme is essential as is plenty of black pepper.

Don't add any liquid until the onion is soft. You can add either stock or shepherd's pie mix, but you only want about a cup of fluid. I add a couple of teaspoons is steak sauce at this stage but you can use tomato sauce or Worcestershire sauce.

Simmer it for about 30 minutes, making sure you break up any clumps of meat. There shouldn't be much liquid left. Add a little flour or gravy mix to thicken it.

Use homemade shortcrust pastry for the base and blind bake it. Frozen shortcrust is tough and disgusting. Frozen puff is OK for the top.

Those videos I posted earlier had footage of it. It turns out they dismantled it in 2003 and shipped it off to Indonesia where it's apparently still operating.

I went to school with a guy who now paints amusement rides. He quite often pops over to Indonesia to work there (or at least he did pre-covid).

That seems to be a standard in rough clubs all over Melbourne, I was catching a tram along Sydney Rd Brunswick one night and I noticed that at one of the bars the bouncers had a little portable booth with a camera to scan faces & ID cards, they had it set up out on the curb where the line to get in started

Are these things afraid of people? They look loving terrifying.

They'll often go from one house to another in areas like that. If the development wasn't too rapid, they get used to people being around and tend not to spook easily. They can be fairly friendly as long as they're in control of the distance between you and them.

They can absolutely do you serious damage if they're pissed off, though.

If we'd shut down a week earlier, there may have been a chance of a two week lockdown being enough, but Gladys, Hunt and Chance have huffed too much gold standard.

It's almost like Sky News has a conservative political bent or something.

Yeaaah, those are the known cases. It doesn't account for fuckwits who won't get tested for what's clearly the sniffles, asymptomatic cases, or ones that just plain haven't popped symptoms yet. Your only real clear metric is about two weeks after a solid lockdown when you might have actually stopped it getting around. And even then it's maybe another two weeks while it goes through the families and housemates of those who've got covid.

The reports I saw this morning were asking people to be honest with contact tracers even if they'd breached the lockdown rules. Also reiterated that people need to stop visiting one another.

Australians were particularly racist towards Chinese immigrants for the longest time, and given the general level of racism here that's saying something.

Back in the early days of the Australian gold rush the government was passing specifically anti-Chinese legislation (such as the 1888 Chinese Restriction and Regulation Act) and there were so many anti-Chinese riots on the goldfields they actually had to appoint a special police commissioner in Victoria to oversee the issue. The Eureka Rebellion famously included a whole lot of immigrants among the rebels (the 13 ring leaders who were brought to trial included a Scottish Jew, a Jamaican and an African American) and pretty much the only group the rebels didn't include were the local Chinese miners because they hated them so much. The Eureka! stage musical weirdly attempted to whitewash the rebellion by including a scene where an Irish rebel realised at the last minute that a Chinese miner is his friend and ally.

Dan Andrews actually gave an official state apology to our Chinese community in 2017 for all the racism during the gold rush era: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-05-25/victoria-apologises-to-chinese-for-racism-during-gold-rush-era/8558998

My grandfather's family grew up around Lambing Flat - now Young - in NSW. What is now known as Chinaman's Dam had a more pejorative name when my dad was growing up.
