      I don't agree that it's more acceptable to live with your parents longer in Australia and actually I've known it to be the opposite. I've known Americans to be with their parents through their 30s/40s. I don't know many people that still live with their parents past 25. Not to mention, I've seen Australians mocked for living with parents.

    Based on your comment about young people living with parents longer, a lot of young Australians going to university and are from a state capital city are more likely to be going to a university in their city, and live with their parents.

      I have a theory that that's why Americans all call university 'college' because in Australia, colleges are the residential halls and communal dorms for on-campus living, but you only really stay at college if you're from out of the university's city. So university is the educational institution and college is the accommodation. I went to college because my hometown is 2 hours from my uni, but the vast majority of uni students still live at home or in a share-house and commute to uni each day.

    2. We are polite when towards staff, we do not demand.
    3. We have dryers but many prefer to dry clothes in the sun than to waste electricity.
    4. Our power points/sockets have an on and off switch.
    5. Hills hoist best invention ever stands proudly in many Australian back yards.
    6. We tend to walk on the left hand side like how the traffic is flowing.
    7. We have less sugar in our food than Americans.
    8. Our drink and meal portions size are smaller.
    9. Our government system is influenced from the U.S and the British.
    10. Our stop signs for pedestrians at stop lights make noise and vibrate and some have Braille etched into them. This is to assist the hearing and visually impaired. The beeps are for the visually impaired whilst the vibration assist the deaf. The 'chirp' noises at 2 second intervals signal when to not to walk, the "boom" noise signal when to wlk and when to hurry up and they also assist a person to easily locate the crossing.

      Andrew Newton I have never heard of the ‘Wash-Minster System’. Of course, as with everything, I may be wrong. I have always understood our Senate to be an echo of the bicameral British Parliament. We adopted the word ‘Senate’ from the Romans as we don’t and have never had an hereditary nobility in Aus. The closest we ever came to that was knighthoods and being knighted didn’t guarantee you a seat in the upper house of review. You had to be elected.

      @@divusaugstus Some Australian states have upper houses that are directly inspired by the House of Lords. They used to be appointed, and early on there was a push to make squatters a “bunyip aristocracy” of hereditary legislators. But Wentworth did copy some features of the Australian constitution from the USA; the senate as a “states’ house” and the formal separation of powers are among them. He also learned from the American example some pitfalls to avoid.

  • @robynmurray7421

    Although not everyone is a fan, compulsory voting has some benefits in comparison with the American system. If the government makes it compulsory for every adult to enrol and vote, it has to ensure that EVERYONE has the opportunity to cast a vote. Even if you are in a remote desert community or on an island, at the Antarctic base, overseas or in hospital, there is a way to vote. In contrast, American governments can influence the result of the election by not having polling booths in the areas where the vote might not be in their favour - or by wrecking the postal system to prevent postal voting in a global pandemic.
    Elections in Australia are held on Saturdays so no one has to queue in the snow or take time off work to vote. Community groups hold cake stalls (bake sales) and sausage sizzles outside polling booths, so there is usually a pretty good atmosphere.
    American political parties spend a lot of money just convincing people to turn up on election day. This is not necessary in Australia, so less money is wasted on advertising. It means that smaller parties and independent candidates can afford to contest the election so voters have more choices.
    Actually, if you don't want to vote in Australia, you don't have to - as long as you turn up and have your name marked as being there, you can write what you like on your voting form, or leave it blank. These ballot papers will be recorded as informal votes, so people can see how many voters didn't like any of the candidates. Or if you don't want to vote, you can just not enrol to vote. However, it's generally accepted that you don't get to complain about the government for the next three years, since you couldn't make the effort to have a say in the result.

    LOVE your videos. As an Aussie, I always learn something. You're very observant and so embracing of other cultures and always so positive. Never lose that :) Now you've done your second "differences" video you've pretty much nailed everything that mostly strikes me about the differences between the States and Australia.
    The 10 biggest differences after my first trip to the USA were (and I think you've identified most of these:
    1. The toilet water is too close for comfort, if you know what I mean
    2. My first iced coffee in the States was all water and I was like..."what IS this?" I know now to ask for an Iced Cappucino.
    3. Where is the mini fridge in my hotel room? What am I gonna do with an ice machine and a bucket?
    4. There are often no kettles in hotel rooms to boil water. If you're lucky there's a little filter coffee machine.
    5. I couldn't get all the flavours of chips (crisps) that I like here. Lots of corn chips though.
    6. Restaurant meals are HUGE in the States. My friend and I now usually just share an entree.
    7. After a while the sales tax in the States gets you down. Just tell me "how much is it?"
    8. The US police seem mean, angry and kinda scary. Here most of them talk to you like a mate. I reckon it's the 2nd Amendment's fault.
    9. It's hard to get plain milk to put in your tea/coffee -- there's an awful lot of Half n Half though.
    10. You can't get a Lemon Lime and Bitters anywhere. So common in Oz. As a bar tender you'll know what I mean :)

Except 1WS there is a mix of private security, PSO’s and QLD police. Brisbane trains and buses have QRAO’s and SNO’s patrolling them (Queensland Rail Authorised Officers & Senior Network Officers).
