Seconded (apologies to Perth Shrimper). All other countries mentioned so far have a redeeming feature for me, Australia has none. The only good thing it's produced is Nick Cave and even he doesn't live there anymore.
I'll consider my reply whilst sitting on an uncrowded beach in 9 months of the year 90 degree heat, sipping affordable beer, watching TV without needing a license, considering my 55p a litre petrol consumption, never being in a traffic jam, never needing to lock my front door, thinking about this open relaxed and happy country which locks up all immigrants who dare go near it.
I'll expand upon my reasoning for despising Australia:
1. The fact that Australians go on
ad nauseaum about how wonderful the country is, the weather, the cost of living, the land of opportunity etc. But, if it is so great why are there so many of them living and working here. If it is so great, pi$$ off back there you scruffy, screechy voiced, pain in the ar$e (not you Perth Shrimper)
2. Quite frankly, the gruesome creatures found therein: deadly funnel-web spiders, crocodiles, deadly snakes, box jelly-fish etc. surely mean the places was never, ever intended for habitation
3. The arrogance in victory, and complete lack of grace in defeat
4. Lleyton Hewitt
5. The fact that the intonantion of the Australian accent (Australian inflection) has infested the young of this country
6. It's not quite their fault, but "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here"
7. English people with relatives there or who have been there banging on about "Oz". Fcuking call it Australia you tw@ts
8. The ugly, curly-haired to$$er, with a face like he had run in to the back of a 60lb mallet, that played Henry Ramsey in Neighbours
9. The swept under the carpet human rights record of the country. It is frankly appalling. More Aboriginal people died in custody in the police cells of Australia during the course of apartheid than black people died in police custody in South Africa
10. The fact that women mistake the words "Australian male" for "heartthrob"
