Besides the obvious Asian presence and the Kiwis next door, what foreign people bug Aussies the most?
Honestly I can't think of a foreign culture that wouldn't come under
Chink, wog, communist or N (word)
It really just depends on the person. People tend to follow like sheep in angry mobs

Pretty much what Esau cairn said, bogland get away with using it the most but it's not as crude a word here then other English speaking nations.
Yeah the woman here are big fans of using it when angry, although the c word can be used as a greeting as much as it is a swear
I personally hate the word and don't use it unless I am really about to let loose of things

No, the inside of a kangaroo pouch can be a little too moist, ruins the pizza.
What a local would recommend is strapping the delivery basket( the bag pizza boys use to store pizza) and sending the emu to the residence of the purchasers (think of homing pigeons)

Yeah which is why we don't squat in the bushes
The flora and fauna of Australia can be good or bad. Just depends on your luck. The gimpy gimpy is mostly around the north east of Australia in dense rainforests so pretty safe in the cities.
Ah, but have you ever personally been Gimpy Gimpy'd?
I had one of those spines in the side of my hand (thought i'd dug it all out) over a week.
Sat there one night absently rubbing the sore spot playing dominos with a friend and heard a -sqwelch- noise. Looked down and a piece about an inch long had popped out, along with about a shot glass full of pus!
