How big is Australia?

[The_Hypocrite]

This is another Con job article,,I know of some 3rd world country people see it as a right for them to live in australia because its so big etc,,,but they dont take into account that 80% of australia is uninhabitable,,all desert,,I think we should dump the boat people in these areas and let them fend for themselves,,another example,,just look at Perth,,rain only few months a year and most of summer its freaking hot,,Perth is now using underground water and desalination plants to supply water to its people,,,in future the rain fall will be less and more people just strains infrastructure,,

very misleading this picture

In reality the coloured area is uninhabitable. Leave it for roos and crocs.

That will be a bloody waste to leave the land for the roos and salties.

Complete white trash scum who sold be euthenased

China is bigger, canada is bigger so is Russia. The USA is also huge but its smaller than China in landmass and it has Alaska which isn't attached to the mainland and not to mention china gave some parts of land away

Brazil is bigger. But Australia is slightly bigger than the 48 contiguous states of the US.

1. Russia
2. Canada
3. China
4. US
5. Brazil
6. Australia

Former Australian batsman and television personality Greg Ritchie has been accused of a racist outburst - using the forbidden 'k-word' - at a lunch-time speech during the first Test at the Gabba.

South Africa's Sunday Times newspaper reported that Ritchie made the remark during an on-stage address at the Brisbane ground while referring to an anecdote involving Kepler Wessels, the former South Africa captain and Australian batsman.

"Hey Kepler, you're not going to call this lot kaffirs today, are you," the Queenslander was reported as saying to a "raucous laugh" on the first day of the Test on Friday, in reference to their time as teammates for Australia against the West Indies in 1983-84.

Wessels, in Brisbane in a commentary capacity with the South African network SuperSport, told the newspaper he may take legal action against the 52-year-old.

"That's a disgraceful, offensive and libellous comment to make," Wessels said. "It's certainly not what I'm about and everyone who knows me will know that. I have no idea what he might be referring to - I haven't even spoken to him since the early '80s."

Ritchie was also booked as guest speaker by Queensland Cricket for its annual pre-Test luncheon at the Brisbane Convention Centre last Wednesday.

He did not make any racist comments during that speech but on Friday, but is alleged to have also made offensive remarks about Islam, Pakistan, and former Pakistan captain Imran Khan.

"I've got nothing against the Muslim people," Ritchie was reported as saying. "Just this morning I had to try and stop three little Muslim boys trying to break the lock on my car boot. "I had to say, 'Shut up! You're in there for a reason!'"

"You can't say that kind of thing, can you?

"There's a place in Pakistan called Lahore. There weren't many of them (whores) around when we were there in 1992, I can tell you."

About Imran, he reportedly said: "He's an absolute knob is Imran Khan, that's the only way to describe him."

South Africa team manager Mohammed Moosajee told the Sunday Times: "If that is what was uttered, it is both disappointing and despicable for someone to make these racist comments. Racism has no place in society and in sport."

A spokesman for Cricket Australia said the governing body was attempting to get into contact with Ritchie.

"Naturally, we are concerned at the alleged comments made at the lunch, and we are seeking to understand the detail," he said. "A senior CA official has contacted Greg to understand the detail, but our general principle is that there is certainly no place for racism in sport.

"We fully support the International Cricket Council's anti-racism code and we repeatedly put information under the code on our big screens so that every spectator who enters our grounds understands the code and their obligations under the code."

Ritchie previously stretched boundaries with his portrayal of the Punjabi character Mahatma Cote on the NRL Footy Show.

Fairfax was attempting to contact Ritchie for comment on Sunday.

There is a pecking order for white cracker trash. Australian white trash is the lowest of the low, the descendants of convicts, chavs and low-class Cockneys. Most of them have barely evolved from the Neanderthals and are more animal than man.

 

[mulvi74]

It's a peasant country full of inbred chromosome deficient spastics.

Was in Thailand once and went into a McD to get the kids an ice cream cone (even from babies my kids always eat local street food and prefer it to McD but they wanted a cone after dinner so boleh).

Anyway australian family ordering their dinner and person behind counter couldn't understand white white trash was ordering. The mum yells out to the kid ordering 'you have to speak slowly, none of these Chinese can understand what we say'. She's in fucking Thailand, not china

White trash like this should be stopped at the border but that sad thing is they breed like rabbits and it further accentuates what a nation of spastics Australia is

The biggest racists in OZ are the Ah Nehs, the Lebs and Gooks.

Yes resources aplenty.

Canana is way better than Oz. canana cities are located more centrally whereas Oz more are coastline cities. The spread of urbanization in Canana are more even that way cause it can go either north, east south or west and you still can be within city limits. In OZ it has only one direction that is away from the city and coastline.

I think cuntries that heavily relies on coastal cities have a major problem. That is no one wants to live so far away inland from the city. Canana's city planning way more better.

I agree. If one could stand the cold then Canada would be a better place. Better natural beauty, better food and water security and its proximity to the US, although some may view that negatively.

Nobody "stands the cold". They simply dress appropriately.

Those who can't be bothered buying winter clothing can make Vancouver their home. It's positively mild all year round.

On some days, however appropriately you try to dress, the wind and the cold hits you in the front and comes out through your back. Those are the kind of days I am talking about. Unless you are native to the area you will feel that kind of cold irrespective of your dressing.
