“Because I can assure you, I traipsed every single website, blog, TikTok account about moving to Australia and living your best life in 2023, and guess what, not one of them mentioned any of this f****** stuff.”“I do now understand what this means, it means ‘how are you doing?’,” Charlee said about the classic Aussie greeting.“When I first came here in November and someone asked me how I was going, I told them I was going to the supermarket.
“This is one of the things that is still throwing me and I have been driving here for 10 days now,” Charlee said. “If you want to indicate, your indicators are only on the right hand side of your steering wheel, you flick them down if you want to go right, you flick them up if you want to go left. “Please don’t do what I do and get to a roundabout in rush hour with lots of crazy scary Australians driving behind you all wanting to get home and sit outside in their flip-flops and singlets, because when I go to a roundabout, and I hit indicate, I set my window-wipers off like f****** crazy.TikTok/@CharleedownunderCharlee said that in the UK, after you’ve come to a stop at a red light, it then goes from red to amber to green.
We can pick on other countries for their idiosyncrasies. UK speak..... e.g immegiately? Since when did immediately have a G in it? SinGing, rinGing etc? Why a hard G sound in the middle. A washing machine in your kitchen? Carpet in the bathroom? We are all different
👆🏻People get troubled by such tiny things. None of these things ever bothered me!! 😁😁
Just another whinging Pom
Oh this is definitely one on the list! It's so incredibly offensive, I just wanted to gouge out my own eyes
I took the bait, and listened to this 53 SEC garble! Crap!
First world problems 😂
They are always the same words
Ch7 taking a leaf from 'newsdotcomdotau' by trawling social media for filler. These stupid videos have been done to death and you're way too late in the game.
I admire how the English call themselves Expats. when really they are immigrants
having a go at Aussie slang, when many British accents are so thick they can hardly be understood, unless she is from the upper class it is a country in which both language and culture are in decline.
Two words and it ends with OFF!
I lived in England for a year and the first time someone said to me 'you alright' I thought they were asking about my health and so went into it in some detail but they were merely asking how are you going? And don't get me started on Aye oop, a greeting used in Yorkshire.
Why are white people called expats and everyone else immigrants.
Is your news in such short supply that you have to resort to this kind of rubbish. FGS give it a rest and report stuff we want to know about instead of promoting crap!
Classic arrogant Brit who wants everywhere else to be where she came from.
....a clear sign the 'news' is dumbed down.
Only 6 😂
Ever heard the saying “whinging Pom” Also if your driving you should not be using your phone.
Numbskull !

Ignoring Australia Day is about railing ‘against Australia’ and its ‘very existence’: Chris KennyChanging or ignoring the date of Australia Day is all about “railing against Australia” and its “very existence”, says Sky News host Chris Kenny. “We did become a country. We should celebrate that as we work to make it even better for everyone,” he said. “None of these organisations campaigning against the very notion, the actual history of this nation, our identity as Australia, none of them should use the name at all.” Damn, that's stupid 😬 True 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕

‘Absolute honour’: Turbans 4 Australia founder named Australia’s Local Hero 2023Founder of charity Turbans 4 Australia Amar Singh has been named Australia’s Local Hero for 2023. Mr Singh founded the charity to help struggling Australians and promote multiculturalism after experiencing slurs and racial insults. “This is what I love to do, helping out people around Australia to where we can,” he told Sky News Australia. “I’m honoured deeply and very humbled ... to be presented with this is just an absolute honour.” He’s a bloody good bloke and I’m lucky to count him as one of my friends. They got some attention during COVID. Quietly unassumingly, modestly doing ‘their bit’ … good choice.

‘Overwhelming’: David Nduwimana’s rise from refugee to national performerMusician David Nduwimana reveals how he has gone from arriving in Australia as a refugee to performing the national anthem at the Australia Day Live Concert in front of the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Mr Nduwimana said a few years after arriving in Australia, he met former Rugby Australia CEO Rob Clarke. “In 2017, I had a conversation with him. I was talking to him about how I loved the national anthem of Australia,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “I love the dynamic of the song and the words – the words are inclusive; that’s what makes me feel connected to that.” Mr Nduwimana said he became a permanent citizen in Australia around the time Mr Clarke became interim CEO of Rugby Australia. “He (Rob Clarke) said, ‘you know what, I want to celebrate this day’, then he gave me the opportunity to sing.” The musician sang what is widely recognised as one of the best renditions of the national anthem on the night of the third 2020 Bledisloe clash between the Wallabies and the All Blacks. “It was really overwhelming, it was really interesting and exciting times for me to be able to stand up there and just express my heart and my gratitude to everyone, to all Australians and all the people who had been behind the scenes helping me to get through everything,” Mr Nduwimana said. Yes but sky news Australia.. did he arrive legally as a real refugee? If so fine...if Ann illegal 1 why was he allowed to stay Just like everyone in Australia past and present.we all came from somewhere else.

Majority of Australians believe it’s ‘very important’ to mark a national dayA majority of new Australians believe it's important to celebrate Australia Day on January 26. This is according to survey findings from AMES Australia, an agency working with refugees and migrants settling in the country. AMES Australia CEO Cath Scarth says most people said that it was “very important” to mark a national day but don’t understand the significance of January 26. “I think for them, many come from countries where they haven’t been able to celebrate … and so the idea of a national day is very important,” she told Sky News Australia. You just make this shit up don’t you? Amen to that. The labor government need to stop dividing us. Yes….

Migrants feel ‘incredibly welcomed’ on Australia DayAMES Australia CEO Cath Scarth says migrants feel “incredibly welcomed” on Australia Day. “It is a day when they can participate in community activities in their local community, and I suppose meet people that perhaps they wouldn’t normally get to meet,” Ms Scarth told Sky News Australia. “Of course, that goes for the rest of us that we can enjoy the diversity that Australia is, including First Nations.” But I for one understand that our indigenous only see British Arrogance. Any day can be as Welcoming, more actually. Anyone informed Them then, asked their honest opinion 🤔
