    I was hoping it would be a steady diet of meat pies and TimTams washed down with VB.

    Seriously though excellent job by Australian and New Zealand getting this under control. It would be great to visit again but understand why they would still want to keep quarantine restrictions.

    You consider yourself Western despite being local to the South Pacific?

    Though our trade is China dependant. Our culture and economy is more Western influenced.

    I'm glad you didn't say Fosters lol.

    Yea I think Australia New Zealand & Taiwan are maybe the 3 most successful countries dealing with covid. And a sign of how democracies can succeed in moments like this.

    Obviously all 3 being islands helps.

    The advisories are only on a small percentage of the Muppets shows.

    One that depicted the confederate flag predominantly & ones that did racist caricatures.

    Americans think Outback Steakhouse and the blooming onion are real Australian staples

    just like people in California thinking Texans all carry guns and drive Ford f150s

    I haven't seen any Muppets shows in my life.

    But reading about it.
    There was some offensive Japanese caricatures. And Johnnie cash singing in front of a confederate flag.

    A part of the answer. They were much less GOP/Trump like with masks, and strict prolonged shutdowns and other public health measures rather than denial and wishful thinking. I talk frequently with a friend in Melbourne.

    That is true, there are a lot of factors. One of the main ones is that Australia is extremely stringent on who does and doesn't enter their country... especially in the case of COVID.
