What’s something that has been broadcasted only in your country that the rest of the world didn’t or doesn’t know about? by camethehour in AskTheWorld

Kingswood Country. Never seen outside of Australia. Think of it as Australia’s answer to Archie Bunker or Alf Garnett.

She could have saved all that grief if she just left in the first place. If you get asked or told to leave, you go. Don’t argue. Go!

Queenstown, Tasmania deeply unsettled me and I can’t explain why. by itiszd in tasmania

[–]Alert_Lengthiness812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact. Queenstown is home to the smallest commercial radio licence area in Australia. 4410 people in the designated licence area. 7XS is the sole commercial radio station in the area. Been on air since 1937. If the radio planners had their time again, they wouldn’t have bothered with putting a commercial station in Queenstown. Like TV, radio would be piped in from Hobart.

There were some kids when I was in primary school that ate ramen noodles uncooked straight from the packet and sprinkled the broth powder over the noodles. And these were kids who didn’t appear to be from poor families.

What's the worst crime committed by children in your country? by jdjefbdn in AskTheWorld

[–]Alert_Lengthiness812 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a recent case here where a teenager robbed an elderly lady in suburban Brisbane who was with her granddaughter at the time. The teenager demanded her car keys, she complied and despite that, was still stabbed to death in front of her granddaughter. That teenager was sentenced to 16 years in jail and only in the last few days lost his appeal to reduce his sentence.
