When Steve Cougan did a stand up gig here a few years ago he started his set with the words “it’s good to be back in Australia, land of the BBQ and casual racism.” I’m sure racism is here but it’s not as bad as the USA or UK in my opinion. There’s not much of that all lives matter stuff going on in my circles anyway. The programme was really really good. He’s a top bloke and a great role model. His war dance at the bogans was superb. I’m amazed people got upset about it. Also, 30% of people here were born overseas which is interesting.
