    Do Australians not use paper money or is everyone just really stingy?

    @Helio: Australia doesn't have $1 or $2 notes. We have $5 notes, but the rest are coins. And our notes are plastic, not paper. Only idiots use paper money.

    @BaconCat: Sorry "mate", we use dollars here, and coins go up to $2. We also call sausages "snaggers", not "bangers" and no one here has ever heard of treacle.
    I think you're plundering your bag of British stereotypes when you should be reaching for the bottom of the Australian stereotype bag.
    Fucking ignorant yank. <--- Irony!

    @benjwah004: Sorry, you're not a real country! You're in the southern (IE: wrong) hemisphere! You share a hemisphere with The Christmas Islands, Argentina (bizarro Spain) and Rand McNally, when men walk on their hands and hamburgers eat people! You also have a sport whose sole rule is a guy kicks the ball in the air, and while it's in the air everybody is allowed to beat the shit out of each other. Just teasing, mate. Go Swans!

    From all the people wearing shorts, I guess this occurred in summer time? He must have been sous vide'ing in that chicken suit. Also, I thought it reached its pinnacle at 1.22, but it really only got going at about 1.50. I also think there are an unusual amount of visible people dressed as poultry in Australia.
