No way. We have brains here. Our country was founded by England however we have our own style of doing things and are a very resourceful country.
We do not mimic America at all, thank goodness.

No...and I am an Australian with US citizenship and the countries are nothing at all the same.

Australians are much more open minded and as Australians we are much more aware of the problems and issues of other countires. Americans like to live in a box...if its not happening to them then it doesnt affect them.

We only copy the US foreign policy and rush in to help them invade other countries.

Apart from that, we are very different to the USA.

Australia is no where like the USA, noTerrorist attacks, no citys where murder is the norm. Most people are friendly and will help you.
We look after our mates here.

Lol copy america? don't flatter yerself mate. The globalisation of mostly american companies has, however, taken its toll here. We mostly copied Great Britan, as did America. Thinking about it, i cant think of a single thing we may have copied from america.
lets see...
government........brittan
flag........brittan
armed forces set-up.......brittan
cars.........(mostly) Japan
cultural makeup..........multi-cultural (very few americans)

now lets go from another angle - inventions
the ute.......australian (america copied)
the clothes line (hills hoist).......australian (america copied)
do i see a trend here?
what did america actually contirbute?


LadyRebecca
Australia - English is the accepted and spoken language
America - English is the accepted and spoken language
We are allys.

There the similarities end


Kate A
The main reason in addition to all those listed below, is that in Australia we do not have guns, we have a far more liberal immigration policy - it's juts so embarrassing that our PM likes to suck up to the US president


been there done that
we dont go around shooting people just for fun. we dont take guns to school and we sure dont be idiots off something so small. australia thinks and america just cant do that. you caused war remember??????????
