Because you're farking Aussie and we don't celebrate 4th of July either?

This is not America. We dont do Halloween

No wonder halloween doesnt get much love down here... these comments.

It’s not an Aussie celebration. If the aboriginal elders allow this, we should have a day that aussie kids dress up as one of the characters in the dreaming stories. Bring awareness to the traditional owners of this land, celebrate a true heritage.

A day where kids don’t stuff a pile of sugar in their gobs? Yep 👍 A day where kids can dress up and be ‘scary’ whilst also social distancing. Yep 👍

How can you cancel something that doesn't exist?

Oh I hope so.

Oh, I *really* hope it means you can't scrounge this year...

It should be canceled every year in Australia! UnAustralian

Head to the grounds of Black Rock House for Spooky Spoonville this month. Add your own spoon if you like. This replaced our big family event. House is still apparently haunted.

I hope so.

You mean another consumerism party? We seem to keep adding those...

october 31st is my birthday and even i don't get as obsessed with it as pseudo-rich wannabe americans. fuck outta here with these bullshit hallmark holidays.

It isn’t an Australian holiday

I am halloween obsessed, this year, the only weekend halloween for the next 6 years or so, we will not be having parties or truck or treating. Halloween Hunt, Lollies, halloween dinner and EVERY Simpsons Halloween Special. A very covid halloween.

Halloween is American you idiots.

'It has hit us with a vengeance': Coronavirus surges again across the United StatesAfter weeks of warnings that cases were again on the rise, a third surge of coronavirus infection threatens to be the worst of the pandemic yet in the country. not true - those are positive PCR tests not 'cases' of infected people - death rate is declining (albeit slightly) in the US and younger healthier people are the ones testing positive not the vulnerable which is a good thing for long term immunity and lower morbidity - try harder This is what happens when you have an anti-science, incompetent, self serving, morally corrupt cretin as president. The LiarInChief is a disgrace and an embarrassment to most Americans. He IS the virus. Joe Biden is the cure. BidenHarris2020 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Just in time for the election, imagine that.
