Not me though, I came here in 2000.


"The uploader has not made this video available in your country" - no one from Australia can watch this vid lol

You prolly did things in your youth, in the Balkans, that would qualify you as a convict in that boganistan.

Be proud of your heritage, Brate.

Sounds like complete horseshit given our population has increased by nearly a third since the year 2000, overwhelmingly via mass migration, so no convict background.:

Australia Population 1950-2025

Chart and table of Australia population from 1950 to 2025. United Nations projections are also included through the year 2100.

www.macrotrends.net

Given this, based on that estimate, about a third of the people in this country at the year 2000 would have needed to be direct descendants of convicts, which is complete bullshit. I'd need much more than a random .org.au site to take those numbers as anything but a pie in the sky, rough estimate.

Interesting that none of the responses in the search engine seem to reference where this 20% figure came from... and the wiki page references a BBC article which when clicked on gives a 404 error....

I have told this before, but during college I worked in a Bar in NYC near NYU and a modeling agency. I should have gotten some sort of culture class credit. I dated and slept with women from all over the world. I watched interactions, behaviors etc. The idea that Americans own the loud and obnoxious moniker is laughable. The Brits and Aussies blow us away. As for the women, Aussie women are not the most feminine, but they are sexy and lots of fun in bed.

Of course the women are fun, you silly cunt, their great, great grandmothers were all prostitute's....... How do you think they ended up there....

Why, you trying to watch your girlish figure?

...are you not feeling bikini body ready?

Stop making fun of me!! That's exactly what the great great grandson of a person that stole a loaf of bread and got sent to Australia would say!!!!

Nah, my ancestors were trying to get to New Zealand, stopped over in Australia, went out drinking and got shitfaced, missed the boat and thought fuck it... we'll just stay here instead.

They were Irish... so math checks out.

Yeah it does sound like bullshit, I just clicked the first link on google. But thinking about it more, this is probably done to entice people to sign up for those ancestry DNA services.

Yeah I think the data was accurate, maybe 100 years ago, lots has happened since.....

[Legumes]

Sooo ummm, why are they laughing?

While we're asking questions: Why is there apparently no mention on the internet of a fire burning through a "lithium mine" in Australia(other than a reddit post with the same video and like one comment)? This seems like something that would get wayyyyyyy more coverage.

edit: There are now 2 mentions of it, but very few details which I find odd.

At least he's wanted by someone.

Lol. There are plenty descended from convicts etc. Sorry it doesn't agree with your world view. It doesn't mean you can just dismiss it
Plenty of us were here in Oz before 2000. Many have been here for generations, particularly in rural areas. Cities are indeed immigrant heavy though.

20% seems a little high now, wouldn't you say?

 

[Natural Order]

Needs more people waiting for their mates.

LOL, brilliant attempt mate....

The quote function isn't working for me in the present format.

I have no way of personally knowing the percentage but I'm not dismissing it. I grew up rural. Many folks new their family history back that far and beyond, and it was often a point of interest discussed as national/local and family history. Many other people are not even aware and have not looked. I myself didn't know until the last 5 years when I was looking at family history and found two from Ireland (highway robbery) and one from England (listed as stealing but was a heavy sentence so either a frequent offender or there is more to it).
Prior to that I used to jokingly brag there were no criminals in my lineage. Oooops.

My point is, most of Australia's white people live rural and are often families that have been here 150+ years and have such ancestry. Others are not aware as they know little of their family history (as was me at one point, I am 50 and said for years I was not from convicts). If you ask them they get very vague on their lineage as it is not important to them at that point of their lives (it often changes in their 40s and they start to wonder where they came from).

Yes we are well aware of the influx of immigrants since 2000 but the country was well developed and well populated before that.

Plus prior to say 1970 white people used to have significantly larger families so 20 percent is quite possible with the trickle down effect from that period.

I've never actually shagged an Aussie girl to be honest, they don't seem to go for me at all unlike some other nationalities. Also, I have to admit I don't find them to be the nicest/friendliest girls either, fairly arrogant in my experience. A couple of Aussie dudes have told me they are largely shit in bed too, boring and generic, and that they prefer fucking American chicks for example. Again, no personal experience to confirm or deny that.
