    The press here has been anti usa ever since founding in the early 19th C. It’s so we don’t get ideas about freedom and revolution and breaking ties with the UK. Also why they banned guns in the 1850s, don’t want a repeat of the Eureka Stockade and more, eh.

    Interestingly, accepted public opinion is that England is ok and America is awful but in real life Aussies don’t like English people and do like Americans. ( generally speaking )
