what sucks about australia?

in this thread you are to attempt persuading me to NOT move to australia.

go

I am not widely travelled however i do believe that i am extremely fortunate to live in Melbourne.

But your asking what sucks about australia so let me begin...

Sydney :P
Adelaide unless you like boredom
John Howard (Prime Minister)
Home & Away (TV show coincidently filmed in sydney)
Jaded chin stroking trance fanatics

thats about all i can think of right now

people who bag john howard because the rest of the nations 20somethings do, and its the 'right' thing to do

Technology is always at least 2 years behind everyone else.

Digital TV broadcasts are so pixelated and compressed you may as well be watching a VCD.

Internet is rediculously expensive and slow.

Multi-level government/council systems who refuse to cooperate with each other and couldn't even organise a shag in a brothel.

Didjeridoos in tourist shops

Appalling TV programming - tacky american shows saturated with endless adverts.

Unmaintained main roads

National sports teams named after national fauna

...to name but a few

now that's what i'm talking about! more of this please

so far i've only heard good things, didn't wanna show up and have that bubble blow up in my face

When you get here watch out for attack koalas. Spring is the season they are most dangerous.

if you carry 4kg of weed into bali and carry an australian passport they won't be so nice to you.

• Movies often get released here two or three months later than USA/Europe
  
• Internationals don't really visit here as often as other parts of the world because we are so far away. (although some come all the time!)
  
• Very tough (and inhumane) immigration laws. Don't come as an illegal immigrant or asylum seeker because you might end up in a detention centre in the desert for the couple of years before being deported
  
• Big Brother
  
• Australian Idol
  
• Drought......we are currently in a VERY bad drought here in Sydney and we currently have water restrictions to conserve water. This means that you can't wash your car with a hose, you can only water the garden one or two days a week etc. On the other hand, this means that you will get nice weather with no rain
  

We also have more deadly animals than any other country in the world.

Snakes, Crocodiles, Dingoes, Drop Bears, Jellyfish, Spiders, Scorpions, Sharks.....there are hundreds of ways they can kill you!

its really hard to get laid unless you can prove to a chick that you\'ve beaten a kangaroo to death with your bare hands.

We lost the ashes.

Psy-T bro - good to see you're back from your AWOL stint i'll presume that if you're considering moving to Australia that you've been dishonorably discharged?

There are plenty of good reasons to bag John Howard without using that one

following sly's suit

[Letterman top 10]

"and the number one reason why not to visit australia............ *drum roll* ..... SOUPS ...... *applause*"
