Because in Australia there really isn't a lot to do. There aren't a lot of opportunities.

It's Australian to do such things because, however uncivilised they may seem, it's human to do them.

Australians and the British are very similar: If you try and stand out in any way, and you try to reach for success, someone is gonna be there to cut you down.

It's very easy for Australians living in big cities to either romanticise or demonise the situation in Aboriginal places - to kind of look at things through the 'noble innocents' prism or through the 'chronically dysfunctional' prism, and I suspect that is so often the case.

Australians are very provincial in many ways. If they feel that you've used them as a stepping stone to bigger things, they resent it.

Australians don't have a preconceived notion of what things have to be... we can go on a fantastic journey.

I think Australians do well here because we feel a bit naughty, like we're in America and if they only knew how much fun we were having, we'd all get thrown out, you know.

We believe in the Australian promise; that if you work hard, you won't be left behind.

Australians are pretty blunt and we say things how they really are.
