Their naval powers bit has the USA's as the world's third after China and Russia...
I don't mind the Euro-centric dig but that sounds pretty detached from reality.

Yeah that is fucking retarded. The US has the most capable navy and there isn't a close second. China doesn’t yet even have a blue water navy. Every single US sub is nuclear powered and capable of being on station for months. The US has more fleet carriers than the rest of the world has combined and our LAS are the size of other countries' carriers. The US navy has more nukes than all other counties except Russia and the US Navy is the 2nd largest Air force in the world also.

The Authoritarian Socialist monsters on Australia have just "opened up" and apparently are trying to lull tourists away from vigilance with stuffed koalas and a mysterious socialist comestible called a "Tim Tam".

Nice try Stalin...

True fact: prisoners in Soviet gulags were often fed Tim Tams when they ran out of potato gruel.

And what the hell is Vegemite? "Yeast By-Product".... More like Soylent Green. Maybe China invading you for your mineral wealth will actually make you freer.

Urban myth is that Vegemite is made from the waste from beer production. I have no idea if that's true, but I'll admit it's an "acquired taste". When I lived in a share house in Germany I used to give it to my housemates and see how they reacted. It became known as "salty Nutella". The only dude who could stomach it was Mexican.

I like it. It is yeasty but "beer production by product" yeast would be really bitter from the hops.
Here in the US it is possible to find Marmite. I cannot tell the difference between Vegemite and Marmite.

Has Australia succumbed to an authoritarian movement run by vaccine advocates yet? Invaded by China yet? Destroyed by immigrants at all? Ruined by gun regulation yet that just let all kinds of people come in and dominate you?

Blink Twice if you need help ROB.

All of the above I'm afraid. Plus all the koalas have gonnohrea.

The first time I traveled solo I met an Australian who told me that one of his friends got Gonorrhea so they called him Koala Fucker.

Then he explained about Koalas.

The English language is so beautiful. I am glad all nations with English variants can exchange words and ideas such as this.

[ROB]

Only thing it has succumbed to are retarded property prices.

I have yet to meet an Aussie I haven't liked. Is there some rule banishing the assholes from travel? At this point of my live I have a decent sample size and *checks notes* ... nope no assholes ... none from NZ either but that's a smaller group. Seems like I'd have to go to Australia or maybe track down some derelicts in Thailand to find some unsavory types.

[ROB]

Wow.

I am yet to meet any of the good ones.

[gnaruki]

They must all leave then.

A worn passport is usually an indicator of a quality human in most countries.
