What a lying ass you are! We are all watchingthe broadcasts straight from Australia and the speeches your politicians are giving while being total sods. We’re not taking it from our news for taking it from Australian news and we don’t like what we see.

Next you’ll be telling us that the Norwegian Blue is “just pining for the fjords”.

And when you compare Australia, an island country with just 30 million people and then compare it to the United States there is no comparison and complexity. America has 50 states, five overseas territories, and three huge states that combined have three times Australia’s population such as California, Florida, and Texas.

No. I am not a liar. And the fact you accuse me of that simply shows how mislead and manipulated you've been.

I don't doubt you've seen broadcasts from Australia, but I don't think you understand what you're seeing because, in many case, I doubt you know who the people you are seeing speak are and what positions they hold in various governments. You probably see somebody like Daniel Andrews, and then you see Scott Morrison, and you think they are speaking from the same playbook when they are actually diametrically opposed to each other in every single way, and you don't get the differences, or the political realities involved.

And when you compare Australia, an island country with just 30 million people and then compare it to the United States there is no comparison and complexity.

It's not just about size. We have a radically different system of government from yours. You are used to a Presidential system and a strong federal government. Our federal government is deliberately very weak, except in a very small numbers of areas, and our Prime Minister doesn't have anything like the power your President has. Most Americans seem to think the Prime Minister has been in charge and responsible for Australia's reaction to COVID. In fact, quite the opposite is true. He's almost powerless and his government has to take its lead from the states - and unfortunately two of those states are autocratic socialist near-dictatorships. Americans wind up thinking the whole country must be that way - it isn't. It really isn't.
