Bleh Vegimite is overrated. I prefer Promite.

Let me just grab my pitchfork and light my torch.

And I'd much prefer large lizards than venomous snakes. We get a lot of both on our property and the lizards are only aggressive when provoked, where the snakes are always aggressive and will actually try and attack.

Are you guys not allowed to "control" these problematic creatures?

Trey, it really isn't that bad.
Plus you probably won't have to vote for a few years until your citizenship clears.
Bonus.

Even then you don't have to vote. I haven't voted in a federal or state election in years. People say aren't you afraid of being fined. I haven't been fined yet. I get letters sent to me all the time from the electoral commission threatening to fine me. I just file them in the trash and continue with my life. They are just full of bluff and bullshit as far as I'm concerned.

So do dingos really eat babies? Like what if you had sex with a dingo and had a baby with it. Would it eat that baby too?

After that lady spent years in prison and was eventually released, it was found that a dingo did indeed eat her baby. A dude was illegally keeping one as a pet. It had pups under his house and the mother dingo took the baby to feed them. He found part of the baby's clothing and took it out to the desert and dumped it where dingoes hang out. Then just went about his life like nothing had happened. Sad really, that lady lost everything.

I think that may depend on a few things, more recently they've been basically auto-enrolling people if they don't register to vote between turning 18 (presumably those becoming a citizen, too) and the next election then sending out fines straight away if you don't vote. People who've been dodging it for a while usually don't have any problems.
Having said that, paying fines is laughably easy to avoid. You just submit a brief explanation online which takes a minute or two and if it's even mildly related to something like religious reasons or mental health they let you off.

if we were all skilled hypnotists we wouldn't need guns at all, would we, i think more people need to know about this.

[KaosCill8r]

Yeah I had been enrolled since the 80s and used to vote in every election, but once I realised that the voting system was corrupt and was being manipulated by the big corporations and religious groups I decided enough was enough. It's all just a waste of my time bothering to do it. Fuck em all with a big stick.

Most of our native animals arent really that deadly. They are complete arseholes though. My dad has been having this war with one huge old kangaroo that hangs around his property for like 18 months. He builds bigger and more complicated fences, the roo shows up, laughs and kicks them down.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I really need to read Albion's Seed.

Now this is a sentence I was never expecting to read.

From me, or just in general? One of my old coworkers was from California and got way into the cultural differences he saw here in the south. He started reading it and was going to lend it to me when he was finished, but got another job and moved before that could happen. The book itself seems super interesting.

Also when you wake up to possums snarling outside your window at 3am. The stuff of nightmares for real haha. They are cute as shit, and totally harmess, but jesus christ do they make a horrid sound. From the pits of hell!

Koalas also look cute but when they sound gross when they speak up. Yeesh...

See...the fact you guys think that those godforsaken things are cute speaks volumes about the real horrors lurking down under

They come for your garbage! And trade babies to dingos for safety.

It was a required text in one of the class-wide freshman courses when I was in school. It's a pretty interesting book, but required anything typically turns into burdensome target of undergraduate angst.

Honest to god it's shown up outside their kitchen window twice now the morning after he put up new fences, and basically just started at him being like 'what's up? Think you're smart?'
