      Remember watching a show called Australian story. On one episode they had an American aircraft gunner who settled in Australia after the war with his Australian wife. He said one day his father inlaw asked him how things were at his new job? The American said that he doesn't think he is liked because they are always taking the piss out of him.(paraphrasing) He said his father inlaw smiled and said Don't worry they like you. If they didn't they wouldn't have anything to do with you.

    As an indigenous person of mixed heritage living in outback South Australia, the 2017 ad is my favourite as it brings all Aussies together. Personally, I don't care when we have the holiday ... I just want to see us all as one... had enough of fighting and bullying over so many years. Now all seems so much better. Perhaps still got a way to go but I am tired of years of it and appreciate how far we have come.
    My dad is an Aussie, my mother is French arriving 1950... very few French immigrated to Australia prior to 2000. Australia Day or Invasion Day commemorated Arthur Phillip colonising on Jan 26 1788 beating La Perouse, a French navigator by ONE DAY.
    We were that close to being a French colony ! Cheers. Love your stuff and humour matey

    Hi Rob..
    I like the 2017 add the best.
    That is what Australia Day is all about. And why it is celebrated. Everyone's welcome to this great multicultural country to live with peace and freedom together.
    Calling it Invasion day, only divides people. We must not dwell on the evil past. We cannot change history. We must look at how much better as people we have become since then.
    Now helping the Aboriginals more than ever. The best we can.
    Dwelling on the past only brings hate and division. There is bad history everywhere. We must always look forward and learn from history.
    We remember, learn, move on improve, but not dwell.
    Only my opinion.
    I also like the 2016 add. Let's rescue every Aussie from around the world. So they can come home and have a barbie with Lamb on AUSTRALIA DAY. 🙂👍

    Happy Bastille Day, French people.
    2015: yes, these are famous people: Capt Cook, Richie Benaud (former Aussie test captain, cricket commentator, now deceased), Burke and Wills (famous 19th century explorers who died trying to cross the continent, south to north), Ned Kelly (bushranger who wore armour, was captured and hanged), Ita Buttrose (former editor of Women's Weekly - Aussie version - and now head of the ABC - Aussie version), Billy Birmingham, aka the 12th man (used to make comedy records lampooning cricket commentators, including Richie Benaud), Sam Kekovich (you are already familiar with his work).
    2016: The skinny Asian lady is Lee Lin Chin, who used to present the SBS (multicultural government TV channel) news. English beer is warm; I know, I lived there for a year. Beer should be at a temperature that makes you think you might get frostbitten fingers from holding the glass. Rugby player - yeah, maybe. No idea. I am from Melbourne (Aussie rules country). Cricketer is Mitchell Starc, left handed fast bowler. Queen of Denmark is Mary who came from Tasmania.
    2017: Well, Poms et al. invading "Terra Nullius" (land that supposedly had no people in it - ignoring the fact that it already contained the oldest known civilisation on the planet). You can't insult the French on Bastille Day. This one is highlighting the multicultural aspect of Australia. The Serbian guy is Sam Kekovich again. The guy with the plastic wickets is Adam "Gillie" Gilchrist, who was a champion Australian wicket keeper and run making machine. The thing the Turkish lady is offering is a kebab, which is the perfect 2 am snack after a big night. The guys talking about the "ch'lly b'n" are Kiwis (we would call it an esky). The Aboriginal woman in the striped top is Cathy Freeman, who won the 400 m at the Sydney Olympics. "Boat people" is a (derogatory) term for refugees who arrive by boat. There were many of these from Vietnam in the 70s. One of the guys in my year in the medical course was a boat person, as was Ahn Doh, a famous comedian in Australia. The Liberal (think Tories) government has instituted policies, including naval patrols to identify and turn back the boats, off shore refugee processing (in places like Nauru and Papua New Guinea) and third country resettlement (including New Zealand and USA) to discourage them. The comment "Aren't we all boat people?" is very apt and is a dig at the government. Australia is very multicultural. 26% of Australians were born overseas and 50% of Australians have at least one parent who was born overseas.
    2018: I think this is a play on West Side Story. Again, a bit anti-government ("Global warming is a lie. It's BS that we won't buy.") This a reflection on our government that is way behind others in instituting policies to reverse climate change and is actively pursuing a "gas-led recovery" (although this ad does predate the latter). Our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, once brought a lump of coal into Parliament as a "show and tell" to let the opposition (Labor and Greens) know that it is nothing to be afraid of. He also ridiculed the South Australian grid scale Tesla battery as being akin to the "Big Banana" (a tourist attraction in Coffs Harbour). "Can't even celebrate Christmas" refers to some schools that out of a sense of not causing offence/political correctness, have avoided the usual Christmas activities (Christmas carols, plays, decorations etc) - a bit like the way Americans say "Happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas".
    2019: Refers to the fact that when they wrote the constitution, it contained a provision that New Zealand could join too. There were some indications that we would become one country, e.g. fighting wars as one group (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps - ANZAC). "One Nation" is a dig at Pauline Hanson's extreme right wing, anti-immigration party. The "underarm thing" was an infamous episode that occurred during a one day international cricket match between Australia and New Zealand in 1981. NZ needed 6 off the last ball of the match. The Australian captain, Greg Chappell instructed his little brother, Trevor, to bowl underarm to prevent a boundary. The batman threw away his bat in disgust. This was within the rules but "just not cricket". The Kiwis have hated us for it ever since. Yep, the mention of "Most of your awesome stuff is already ours" refers to Australia laying claim to NZ things (pavlova, Phar Lap - a famous racehorse who was born in NZ but trained and raced in Aus and "actor" probably refers to Russell Crowe. As Gladiator, he was considered Australian, but as someone assaulting people with phones, he was considered a Kiwi. Sharing the NZ Prime Minister refers to the fact that NZ's Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, is a hip, clever, compassionate person, whilst Scott Morrison is a pompous, arrogant, fossil fuel-loving a-hole. I, for one, would be happy if we became the United States of Australian and New Zealand governed by Jacinda.
    Where's 2020 (and 21, for that matter)? I think my favourite is 2016. I don't remember it, but it is clever. Let us know when you are coming down and I will put some lamb on the barbie for you.

    I’m aboriginal and my family approach it this way. The day before ‘Australia Day’ we celebrate what it is to be Aboriginal - ultimate environmental sustainability, land management, art, culture, song, peaceful ‘internation negotiation’ and a democracy and governance that is only recently being appreciated by governments and regulators the world over.
    In Australia Day, we celebrate what it means to be as an Australian. There are many things to appreciate - such as RUclips … and lamb! Cheers mate

    Hahaha I haven't seen a lot of these. Just to give a bit of context:
    The first one, the guy on the phone calling everyone is Richie Benaud. He was a cricketer and became a famous cricket commentator, you will hear his voice on Australian cricket commentary a LOT. Sadly died in 2015.
    The others in the video are all famous Australian historical figures, the guy in the square helmet is depicting Ned Kelly, for example.
    The lady in the second one in Warsaw is Lee Lin Chin, a famous world news journalist for the SBS network here. She covered a lot of stories and also did the Eurovision coverage for quite a while. I guess the joke is that she is stuck in Warsaw on Australia day covering some story and can't get back home, not sure if there was anything specific going on at that time.
    Also I've never heard anyone non-Polish pronounce Kraków correctly, well done!!

    I love the Australia Day lamb ads. I had never seen the political one before and I'm an Aussie. Don't know if it ever went to air. There are a lot of indigenous Australians who don't talk about invasion. I think they've accepted what became the inevitable and prefer to just get on with life. The rest of us immigrants are happy to be one big happy family and you can see that whenever there are disasters (flood, drought, bushfires, cyclones, coronavirus, etc). Everyone pitches in to help. To give you an illustration of how we're all Aussies once you've settled here, my younger daughter's bridesmaid came originally from the Punjab and when someone asked her where she came from she named a local Sydney suburb. Someone else suggested you watch the Mum's cooking a lamb roast ad - I agree.

    Rob, can I also recommend the recent movie, “The Dry” based on the book by Jane Harper. It will give you a picture of our droughts and the Aussie life in these times. It should be out on DVD or available on line by now. Australia is a vast land, full of contradictions, as are its people. You can die of heat in the outback or freeze in the desert overnight. You can be digging in the red dirt or skiing in the wintertime mountains. A UTube channel, Simon Hahmel, will show you the highlands in summer. Although, you have learnt a lot about us by now, you may be sick of us.

    You look bewildered so I’ll explain the characters. Richie Benaud, a famous Aussie cricketer from the past, calls “Cookie” (Captain James Cook) to invite him around for a BBQ and some backyard cricket. Cook then checks with explorers, Burke and Wills (who died in the middle of nowhere), to join them. Then they get onto Ned Kelly, the famous Irish bushranger. The woman in the car is Ita Buttrose, publisher of Australia’s biggest selling magazine, The Australian Women’s Weekly.
    Lamingtons are Aussie cakes, made from sponge blocks dipped in chocolate and rolled in coconut. You can buy them and request jam and cream or just cream, and the bakery will split them and add whatever you request. They’re really delicious! I can’t recognise the guy who calls Richie and asks to join them, possibly a non-Aussie cricketer? The last guy is Sam Kekovic, a retired sportsman and commentator, who was hired to do the lamb commercials.
    2016: that woman is Australian journalist and presenter, Lee Lin Chin. As a journalist, she would go wherever they sent her, so the ad puts her in Poland in the middle of winter instead of back in Oz at the peak of summer!
    The Princess would be Princess Mary of Denmark, an Aussie who married Prince Frederick.
    Thr bald chef in white saying, “Well done? Never!” That’s George Calombaris, Aussie chef and one of the three original judges for MasterChef Australia, (along with British ex-pats, Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston.)
    2015: John Shackleton in the Antarctic! 😂. Aboriginal woman who asks hey guys, what’s the occasion?” is former gold medalist Olympian, Cathy Freeman!
    The Malaysian Aussie who asks, “Aren’t we all boat people?” Is a former contestant on MasterChef Australia season 1, Poh Ling Yeow, who is now a celebrity chef in her own right. There are also lots of Aussie cricketers mixed in with that crowd.
    Yes, that’s the message they want to express. We can only make it reality if we keep moving forward.

    Rob, you are a wonderful and brave person to go out on this limb. I'm an American from the States with dear friends in Australia that, as far as I am concerned, are saints. My husband and I had a discussion about moving to Australia because the US has become a s--t show. However, my friend offers me the assurance that Australia is as much a s--t show as the States. It breaks my heart. I will jump into the deep end of the pool. My husband has been the Shahrazad to Australian lambchop sacristry . I am in lust of his cocoa-chili lambchop rub. Neither I, nor he, would dare compete in the hierarchy of the chop de la lamb. We love and honor you.
    I love, love, love Sam Kankovich (Kenlkovich). His Barbee Girl video makes my pants get wet. Is it the acrobatic young men,; the man disgustingly, delightfully being squirted with sauce; or simply the admonition to enjoy a good lambchop? I want to see him nekked.
    Believe me, you Australian people, I think you are wonderful.

    Australia Day is meant to be celebrating Australia being 'settled' (Invaded) by the Europeans, many of us who are Aboriginal don't celebrate it. Alot people have also come to call it invasion day instead, I don't go that far myself (though I have family that do).
    Different people will treat it differently, if invited out by people I will go to hang out with people, but otherwise I don't really do anything. I know some people in my family who refuse to have anything to do with it, while others just don't care, some of my friends do celebrate it though

    The guy Richie Benaut didn't invite to the BBQ was the 12th man, a comedian that did cricket commentary parodies. Very funny stuff from the '80s '90s, even if you only have a mild understanding of the game.
    The all are welcome one is our ideal situation. It is how we want to view Austraila. We are not quite there just yet but are working on it. As for the indiginous peoples feeling on this, my experiance has been that is how they feel for the most part also. They want to welcome you and be included in what you are doing. One of my faverite quotes on the subject is "We want to walk with you, we do not want to walk alown.". In school I was taught that they where welcoming of foreigner right from the get go, but we treated them so badly that an animosity arose. But, even in that animosity there is desier to become friends.
