When I went to school in Hawaii I had several friends from Australia there. For some unknown reason the Australian girls liked me. I asked one why once she said they just like strong men who acted like men were supposed to. They said I was what they thought yanks were supposed to be. I liked my aussie friends enough I considered moving there for a bit.
However these days I think the aussies are being pushed hard by the globalist leftist movement. Seems like they experiment on them to figure out the best ways to bring us to submission. I also think the smaller town rural aussies are different then their urban ones.
We hired a guy a dozen years ago from Australia to run one of our divisions. I hated that guy. I couldn't stand to here his voice. He was arrogant us he'll, dishonest, cheap, took credit for others work. One of the few people I actively campaigned to get fired at that job. Ultimately he left and stole a bunch of our intellectual property and tried to open a competing business that failed. A year or so later I saw where the FBI had raided his house and found tons of extreme child porn. He evaded them and is still on the run. He was aussie but from the city and a leftist and pure scum of the worst kind. But we have those kind of people in our cities too.
It feels to me like Australia and New Zealand have both moved much further left the last 10 years. It's pretty sad for the people over there that like freedom but it's happening here too.
The guys from the Austrailian agriculture division of the company I worked for used to come over and go to our trade show with the golf division guy. They said they Australian government was putty their farmers through hell basically trying to run them out of business. They also have big trade problems with China.
