As a resident of Alice Springs, I love seeing my town mentioned for something non crime related
-
The down votes are actually up votes from Australia
-
It's interesting. The video doesn't mention Hobart, the capital city of the state of Tasmania. I bring it up because despite being the smallest state and only having a population of a quarter million, it's geographically the same size as England, resource rich and all arable.
-
Funny story...I worked in the Australian higher education sector when the pandemic started. Not so many international students after that, resulting in a huge funding issue for our universities. The fact of the matter is that, for a lot of international students, Australia's lifestyle and social stabiltiy was part of the attraction. That's not such a big deal with remote-based education.

"Australia is definitely not a superpower"
This man has clearly never played Risk -
So this video wasn't made possible by Skillshare?
I'm uncomfortable -
"China mocked Australian president" I think the general population does that aswell
-
I died a little when he said "irregardless" at 11:05.
-
Even China's got a China problem at this point.
-
Australia: we like western ideals of freedom and prosperity!
China: no you don’t
Australia: no we don’t! -
“Australia is definitely not a superpower”
Sam’s apparently never played tf2 -
This video definitely has flavors of the book "The Accidental Super power", which I highly recommend.
-
Australia is more comparable to Canada - another vast, affluent, mineral-rich, English-speaking countries and has the same Head of State.
-
Update as of the 3rd week of July: Australia has openly taken sides in the South China Sea maritime dispute, and has sided against China.
-
Where was this channel all my life!!! Can’t stop watching your videos!
-
That enormous period of continuous growth can largely be attributed to the former Prime Minister Paul Keating. A political juggernaut.
-
They're also the largest producer of eggs because HowToBasic lives there.
-
"What the country definitely is not, though, is a superpower." Shows stock footage of kangaroos hopping

“Too much reliance on any economy, no matter how strong economy may be, is a risky strategy.”
