Reason I am asking is every time i watch reality Australians cop tv shows, the people they deal with seem really stupid, clowns driving without insurance in a car that is falling apart, revving the engine to draw attention to themselves in front of the police. then laughing when they get three different tickets which costs them 1200 dollars.

are they generally a bit dim or what?

Highway Patrol (Australian TV series)

Struth.

Yikes. How bad would Ireland look if we had a reality show following our lads?

Cut to hand covering camera while they are hiding the used breathalysers...

Those shows aren’t going to show the normal boring interactions. I’d imagine we could manage similar.

Racist mainly

James Brown · 25-06-2019 04:42PM

Two arms and I believe two legs. Maybe a head and a pair of feet. Some have hands.

ToddyDoody · 25-06-2019 04:42PM

Outdoorsy, I believe.

All my knowledge of Australians is from this song

Deadly spiders, snakes, sharks and the heat causes them to go insane

In all seriousness quite similar to the Irish.

Macho

There's a documentary series on RTE2 tonight about real Australians. The kind who you might find living next door to you.

It's called Neighbours?

branie2 · 25-06-2019 04:47PM

Another series called Home and Away

Sephiroth_dude · 25-06-2019 04:48PM

If that's the case you're Harry from Fair City as far as an Aussie is concerned.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 25-06-2019 04:54PM

Quite common.

frosty123 · 25-06-2019 06:19PM

Not the friendliest imo...bit standoffish...watch opal hunters and gold diggers on the telly and you'll get a feel for what they're like

City ones are fine to get along with however not a great work ethic. They do value a good work life balance more than most western nations. Wouldn't catch them throwing themselves towards overtime not that there is anything inherently wrong with that.

The country ones are fairly obnoxious and can be quite racist.

You spend a lot of time watching Home and Away with a cushion on your lap

Self depreciating humour, healthy disregard for authority figures, most Aussies are easy going and sociable. They don't take themselves too seriously.
Immigrants and "Abbos" can be hot topics for them.

Sonics2k · 25-06-2019 07:24PM

Basically a great big Alabama. Surprisingly racist and sexist in a casual way.

Good craic sometimes though.

Beechwoodspark · 25-06-2019 07:25PM

Yep load of idiots and often racist (anti black and anti chinese) as well

SHELIAS???

Tom Mann Centuria · 25-06-2019 07:27PM

As mixed a bag as any other nationality. Some good, some bad and the rest indifferent. Also use the word c*nt more than any other nationality.

Beechwoodspark · 25-06-2019 07:28PM

Worked with a gay Sydneyite a few years ago in Dublin.

Lazy. Racist. Dim but not aware of that. Obsessed with D4 lifestyle. Made casual jokes about north side and culchies.
