This is the most racist disgusting australia commercial i’ve ever seen. I’m ashamed to be australian when i see things like this.

Our country is not just made up of white couch potatoes. Democratic right to give your mate a dead arm? Does anyone actually care that our country is made up of people from other cultures?

When my big kids were little we used to wear green and gold and have a special Australia Day outing. I need no excuse to eat Pavlova but we always had it on Australia day anyway….along with meat pies (ewwk!)

Nowadays that I am much less inclined to do anything that involves cooking (and I NEVER eat meat pies), shopping for clothes of any colour or excursions to places that tourists hang out, I welcome Australia Day as a public holiday and a day where the phone doesn’t ring non stop.

I guess I’m the worn out mother variety of Mr Smither.

Thanks Duncan. I haven’t seen the commercial but I’m not a big TV watcher anyway.

I am not sure this particular patriotic government employee is convincing enough to get me off the couch, although your post did prompt me to check out the Australia Day Site. My attention was drawn to the ‘The Great Australia Day Duck Race’ on the Yarra. I don’t want to battle the crowds in the city though and will probably miss this pleasure go to something more local.
