This is more accurate than it looks like at first glance. As an Australian, we like to think that we are all larrikin individuals. Actually we are mostly law-abiding freaks even under the most ridiculous constraints.
Yep, as an Irish jaywalker, I was shocked to find not only is jaywalking not allowed, but you actually get fined. For crossing the road with no traffic.
Or even just being denied entry to a pub for racism or sexism. Its an offrnce not to leave immediately.
On the bright side, peopke clean their shit upnin parks and beaches for the most part.
It’s interesting to hear the pov of an Australian. From the outsider’s perspective, I think you love rules given Australia’s outside reputation as a nanny state.
Even worse, we have a nasty habit of informing on our fellows. Not for murder, or other serious crimes, but for breaking stupid council rules and such. We call it dobbing. We dobb.

Too true…
What about those shared bikes thrown on the water ever weekend?
I’ve seen that phenomenon all over the world . Nobody loves them.
You say we are the most law abiding but also we are on average throwing bikes as much as anyone else. Can you pick a side please?
Some people will pick a fight about anything. Ok, I’m wrong, you discovered the killer point in my entire thesis!
