Australians - the most informal people on earth?

Featured Replies

Bloody hades, I've been to Australia several times so I know they are a laid-back lot but this is taking it to a whole other level!😆

    2 gay guys voting. That's not common to dress like that.

  • Really? Not common to dress like that? What a revelation - who knew!

Why are Gay guys on here representing Australian men? Its not correct at all. The Ozzies I knew were all in the military involved in Aircraft maintenance and all masculine, generous but laid back also. The only gay one kept it quiet. They all liked a good drink.

Which "Gay guys on here representing Australian men" are you referring to?

Nobody has proved they are gay, just an unproven silly assumption by a poster.

Or any of dozens of public swimming / exercise venues.

It's a gimmick...

"Hundreds of Aussies have turned up to vote without pants.

Australian swimwear brand Budgy Smuggler put a call out on social media earlier this week encouraging people to “exercise their constitutional right to vote without pants on”.

The company offered a free pair to anyone voting in their smugglers and posting a photo with the hashtag #SmugglersDecide."

It worked. Media all around the world have picked up the photos. There were a lot.

Speedos.  Dead giveaway in most of the world.  Oz?  Not so sure.  I guess they call them budgie smugglers.  Tip of the hat to @Spilornis

Why is it anti Trump? Can you not go a single day without taking about him?

Not in Thailand. If you see anyone strolling around in Speedos away from the beach it's close to a 100% certainty that that person is a Russian.

Don't BS, you purposely posted because it has trumps name under the photo, there is nothing in what you wrote referring to the speedoes. Lame attempt to troll by a sad sad obsessed  trump hater

That's right, I wasn't mentioning Speedos. However, I was referring to the swimwear worn by the voters when I mentioned Aussie's "laid-backness".

So, as you can see, I was neither "rubbishing" Australians nor mentioning Trump. I hope that clarifies things for you, buddy.
