Vale Edward Gough Whitlam, possibly the greatest Australian that ever lived. Most Australians don't know how much of modern Australia is owed to him.


A lot of ppl would be shocked at exactly how crazily more unfair life was here before Whitlam.
 
Agreed. Our high schools and universities totally neglect to teach how to throw shrimp on the barbie, proper form for boxing with kangaroos, construction techniques for building post-apocalyptic desert vehicles, and how to identify what is and is not a knife.

Laugh it up fuzz ball but these skill are essential, I had to fight a kangaroo this morning who found its way into the tray of my Ute. Its an American designed Ute, had the Ute been properly designed and constructed the ****ing bastard never would have got in. Anyway I got home BBQs and had a beer just to recover

Prior to Gough under Menzies there were about 8 ministries of the crown. Whitlam expanded that to something like 30. He is responsible for basically for transitioning the country from where we were at an administrative and public service level in 1945 to where we we ended up under Frasier and Hawke. The conservatives had done nothing in the space to modernise the country.

I've got nothing but mad respect for all of that. It is really only that Foster's is Australian for beer that has me looking a bit sideways. ...and what's with the fear of thunder?

Stuart Appleby won a $ 300 K Mercedes for winning a golf tournament once, took it home and found someone who cut it up and turned it into a Ute lol
 
Well had to Google wtf is these Aussies talking about with Ute. Probably more confusing to Utahns I guess.

I keep getting this as an answer in my Kryss games. Finally figured out it was basically a pickup truck.

Thanks for making me have to Google something else. I'm really out of the loop I guess.

I hang out with a lot of South Africans they get very confused when I call my Toyota Hilux (Tacoma) a pickup or truck. Trucks to them are semi trucks and little ones like mine are bucky's.
 
I think VB is Australian for beer.

Unlike Fosters, VB is widely drunk mostly by people in blue singlets. 20 years ago CUB (the brewery that makes VB) probably had 75 percent of the local market, these days I'd be surprised if they have 35 percent.

You Americans, so proud of your ignorance...

This is the sort of thing you need to survive the harsh Australian conditions. A Ute.
