Australia is the only country outside of Britain and the US that has already commited Forces to an Attack on Iraq. It's not very popular here but I was wondering if people from other countries knew of Australia's involement ?

sorry Stylus, didn't even know you had an army.....still the UK and US warriors'll be glad that they can speak english.....

yeah it's a pretty token effort about 2000 soldiers a couple of boats and some old transport planes but still it's the thought that counts right

Johnny always commits to anything the US wants. And Australia has a history of being sent in as fodder for US and British causes. Won't see any refugees being taken in after the war though. Funny that.

It´s pretty fucked actually. I´m half spanish, half australian... and both Australian and Spanish govts are supporting the war, with no consideration for the people they suppose to represent, in great majority against war.
Last I heard, Howard got a ´NO´ vote for confidence, right?
Rotten eggs for Aznar and for Howard...

My brother was in Aus at the tennis a few weeks ago and there was this really Okka (how do you spell that?) guy next to an American guy. The American couldn't see something so the Aussie gives him his binos and says "Here – take a squizz through those". Squizz! I miss Australia...

I learned Territorian english (Darwin, Aus) which is apparently one of the worst. As a result I still say ´Gday´, ´Fair dinkum´, call Marihuana ´Ganja´ and call lunch ´grub´... but still manage to get things like ´every Tom Dick and Jerry´ and ´thinking on my balls´ (thinking on the balls of my feet) wrong...

Isn't that whizz?
I don't know anyone who says g'day. I think only Alf from Home and Away says that. Flamin' galahs.

There's a famous Australian saying " I had a Barry " means you had a shocker , it comes from Barry Crocker the guy that sung the original Neighbours TV song >> I met Barry at a party last year I was so stoked he's like the most famous Aussie icon I've met
