    1. Hey, you have no idea how many of us aussies respect the USA and the 1st and 2nd amendments. As for no guns, i have quite a few but we are restricted to bolt/lever actions and 5 shot magazines.

      1. I was speaking for YOU. And those fellow Auzzies I admire for their good natured independent spirit.

    1. Ha! The English sent all the criminals to paradise while the elites stayed on their cold wet miserable little rock where it rains all the time. We be fine except we need a Trump like figure to save us from our version of the corrupt uniparty.

  1. North of Papua New Guinea and east of the Philippines are some really dumb people. The tiny countries of Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia gave up being part of the US for independence. The US defends them and gives them aid so they don’t starve to death. Their incomes are a tenth of the Northern Marianas who stayed with the US. Dangerous part of the world. It is only a matter of time till they are in Chinese slave labour camps building iPhones. Their next door neighbour, the Philippines, was equally stupid. Subic Bay and the big US airbase was the best defense they had against Chinese aggression. What did the crapheads do? They essentially kicked the Americans out. The Chicoms got a lot braver with the Americans gone.

      1. I’m working on a seasonal novelty record for their tourism department: “How’d Ya Like To Spend Michaelmas On Miquelon Island?”

  2. Everything in Australia wants to kill you. I think that’s the only country I ever went to where I made an effort to stay on the sidewalk, and every time you enter a room, it’s wise to stop, look, and listen.

    Snakes, spiders, crocs, Pakistanis…you name it they have them.

    1. Some travel instructions to that lovely country warned against entering any body of water as it might contain crocodiles But wait, they also have disgusting big spiders. And dingos and wild dogs. And Koalas have VD most of the time and rape each other. Fact. Seems to me a good place to own a pump shotgun or nice semi-auto ranch rifle. Oh well.

      1. Hmmm, the stuff about koalas is rubbish. We are allowed to own guns and many of us do. I live on a small property and ” relocation” of above nasties occurs regularly. A 410 “rat” gun is best for snakes etc though ALL snakes are protected species. Hence the “relocation”.

        1. How ironic, because our most effective “rat” guns also protect us from the vermin who would dare to break into our homes. With a nice wide scatter. And here in CA we have 20 million vermin who have scurried across our open borders

      2. You can have those if you have the need, its just not open slather.

        The place is far better armed than it was before Port Arthur, msny using the buy back as a trade up opportunity.

        Still the ” they took away all the guns” meme lives big in the the of the usually US ” muh guns ” types, trying to formulate an argument without a grip on the facts.

    2. “Snakes, spiders, crocs, Pakistanis…you name it they have them.”

      Even the male platypus has venomous spines that can wound you.

  3. South Irian Jaya is already spoken for by Indonesia.

    Indonesia published a map a few years ago that called Australia “South Irian Jaya”.

    Australians are slowly preparing to surrender to the largest Muslim country on the planet, the government doesn’t want to upset the locals too much before it’s a fait accompli…

  4. I reckon most rural adult males have a least a rifle and a shotgun, and there is quite a few of us.
    The Voice referendum in 2023 showed where and how many wokesters there are in Australia . They are outnumbered but still have the levers of power.
    That said, Trump would do us a favour calling Australia the 52nd state if Canadian events are anything to go by.

  5. Greenland and Panama Canal have strategic things going on for the immediate future.
    In the long run I would wish for more powerful independent western countries to pick up the slack when America becomes weak and dumb again. You just know it will happen even without Chinese bribery, there’s enough internal American forces at work that’re causing problems.

    1. Iraq had “strategic things going on” too so the US invaded it in order to “fix” their problems. How did that turn out? Would it have helped if the US had turned it into the 51st state?

      For that matter, Mexico arguably has a lot more “strategic things going on” than Greenland. Why isn’t annexation proposed for them?

  6. There has been, during the four years of Dementia Joe’s administration, a lively on-line discussion of whether or not China would invade Australia. The consensus among the more serious writers is that Chins w ould not. But there is that worry.

  7. Make us an offer. It would have to include an administrator for two years while we select a State model and have elections. This would also speed up the removal of the existing dickheads from power. Id suggest Texas as a good starting template for the great State of Australiana.
