Perhaps the Australian government could rescue this poor little Australian petunia who is so unhappy in the nasty British onion patch.

Julia has enough problems of her own at the moment.
Just Google “Julia”, “Kevin” and “spill”. 🙂
I gather racism towards Australians is getting pretty unpleasant. This type of abuse should be stamped out.
As a Scot who manages to put up with the usual “Hoots, mon” and such, I don’t consider that as racism. So for an Aussie to be unable to cope with “G’day sport” seems a bit pathetic.
Thanks for that Bearsy. Kevin Rudd is apparently heading your way. Is he a Brisbane boy? Anyway I can see Julia might not have time for petunias just at the moment. It’s always interesting to learn more about what’s going on elsewhere, as I’ve said before.
Some, and I hasten to add not all, Aussies are quite happy to go on about whingeing Poms. It seems they don’t like the reverse!
I get teased all the time about being German. If I grow tired of hearing about Lederhosen I just tell them to shut up or I’ll throw them in a sauerkraut vat or turn them into a sausage.
Australians are very sensitive souls, despite all the macho bravado, and one should consider this at all times.
I was forced to write this by a member of my household, who shall remain nameless, but she knows who she is! 😉
Go Bilbers! 🙂
I remember seeing this guy in the press a while ago and thought it was mentioned here too. The guy has obviously spent too long in the liberal bean-bag wishy washy UK in thinking that he’s any more special that anyone else who gets teased about his origins. He certainly doesn’t behave like every other Aussie I’ve ever met. My kids get teased for having posh accents at their comprehensive school but they don’t come home crying as they have a backbone (as well as 50% good genes)!
Anyway – how can being called an Aussie be racist? They’re not as far as I can ascertain, a race. Now, if he had a good sun tan and a penchant for alcohol misuse and was teased for being an aborigine, then maybe he’d have a case. So well, done the courts for saying no.
Looser.
But still, being fat and or ginger aren’t protected characteristics yet, so neither should being an Aussie. He could always go back…… 😀
Cuprum, only “50% good genes”?
We’d rather he stayed where he is. If he came back, we’d rag him about his Pommie accent. 😀
Bearsy, I’d be interested to know whether you now sport an Ozzie accent?
While I was working, I did. Since retiring I seem to have reverted to something that is halfway between the two, although my lexicon remains Aussie. 🙄
“The 49-year-old worked as a community warden battling anti-social behaviour in Dymchurch, Kent, for six years until he quit with depression in 2010.”
That quote from the linky thing, I believe, says it all. Man up, you wuss and get a proper job. Oh, and move or I’ll set Christina on your sorry ass.

OZ: Please spell “arse” properly 🙂 Otherwise, good idea!
Cuprum, he’s certainly got the UK disease of running to the Yooman Rights bunch squealing for compensation.
What I don’t understand is why people think money will help them feel better. Beats me.
And yes Janus, only 50%. The first Mrs C ruined the pool. My mistake for choosing her I guess!
