There’s no point in bringing up politics regarding different countries in which there are members on the board who are from each country.

You insult either country, and the people of that country will take umbrage.

I of course have my own opinions, having been to Australia on many occasions, and worked with their military for many years- with a generally favorable opinion.

I have one piece of advice to Aussies on this board- what you heard on the news about the temperature of the US is not reality. Just like the opinions you find in Sydney greatly differ from those in Charters Towers, the opinions reported on the news from places like New York and LA don’t reflect the reality of the situation.

We for sure have problems in the US, but as a whole, we are far more homogeneous than the media would show… and we have a documented history of rebellion against those who want to take away our way of life.
