How many pies did you eat (to preserve your "culture") in the last week, or so ?

I can't remember when I ate one last
I might have an iced coffee, occasionally, over the Summer
But I have 3 double shot espressos - from the machine, in my kitchen - every morning

Australian culture (via Westernisation)?

Well, its politically still ruled and sanctioned (supported) by the United Kingdom and 'populated' by the United States.

Afterall, the Governor-General serves the UK & the Prime Ministers serve the USA (the UK serves the USA like a good little 'colony' in Europe Grin

) ...both positions 'rule' Australian Politics.

So really. Political Australia is a defaulted false expression of Australian culture. It's a replicant heavily dependent on UK/USA. It is 'chained' like a criminal to the past and has no future here. Even now ...its self destructing even further into becoming 'defunct' here.

There is only 'One' Political region and that's North America.
There can be only 'One' Wink

The pie with sauce and iced coffee is definitely part of our culture, I would have had thousands by now, we have a young culture with NO BAGGAGE and a very rich one.
A short list: Cricket footy pubs the outback the ocean fishing surfing cars bikes gambling the boomerang work holidays the sickie long weekends and Victoria Bitter.
Bringing in cultures with religion being their only driving force will keep cultures distant.

Considering Women here promote a more 'professional' approach to 'Sport' here in Australia.

The guys are more like losers, grubs, cheats or the codes like NRL are pathetic.

When it comes to the Guys - Australians & South Americans are much the same.

Australia is a 'Pretender' and 'False Prophet' when it comes to Sport.

Sport is not the 'true' culture of Australia.

In fact, its a Media by-product that is more bias to Europe, Asia & Africa ...from its Oceanic base.

...rather than anything Namerican, Samerican, Australian (let alone Middle-East).

Media promotes a 'false' culture of Australia (and America, hence 'Fake News').

The Media only becomes a positive aspect in the New Worlds via the Women, not the men.

Are you saying sport is not instilled in Australian culture!

I'm saying that 'Sport' (via Males) that has been instilled by the TV Media, is in a disillusionment that it represents the 'only' essence of 'culture' here.
Considering 'Male Sport' here is less 'professional' that the women, in the eyes of the world.

The 'internet' exists here and so to does 'its' people and they don't really consider 'sport' to be the 'true' Australian 'culture'.

Thankfully the 'real' Australia is emerging and the 'Pretender' like Sporting Australia is falling by the wayside.

You tell Spot & a couple of others that.

Avoidance of SPORT.... sorry not in your nelly.... most Aussies are still big on sports playing and watching.
Food - Roast lamb and meat pies are still in the top 10 and so is vegemite on toast.
Wine, yes I think that is right these days nationally if not regionally. The top 3 alcoholic drinks in order are Red Wine, Beer, then White Wine. Non-Alcoholic... Coffee? Tea? Bonox? nope.... water is still the most popular drink.
