They've got a lot better since then. The Australian constitution got set
up in 1901 and missed the cutting edge stuff that the Swedes and the
Dutch worked out a few later. The 1948 German constitution copied them
and seems to work well.
Australia now wants to ban kids below 16 years of age from participating in / using social media!
Ridiculous!!!
Less ridiculous to the parents of kids who have taken bad advice that
they got from social media.
Would not they have died <and maybe sooner> if left to the control of their parents of environment only?
Probably not. There seem to have been more bad outcomes in the last few
years than there were before social media became popular

They know about google and politics too.
But they mostly can't afford smart phones.

boring twit!
You seem to be the twit here. I'm not to boring to reply to.

And most Australian kids can spell the word correctly. Kangaroos are
wild animals,
Just testing

But you can't spell out how.

I grew up in a small town in Tasmania (population about 15,000 at the
time) but there was quite a lot going on there too

It doesn't seem to.

Other cultures, religions, what not, even electronics...
Grow up. I managed to learn French and German in Tasmania - Australia
had lot of migrants from Europe at that time (including some from the
Netherlands that I ran into as a kid). It obviously wasn't as
cosmopolitan as Amsterdam, but we had a Danish next door neighbor and a
couple of Russians lived just down the street at one stage. They moved
to Sydney and my younger brother ran into them again fifty year later
when he was organising the Sydney Olympic games.
>Amsterdam was fun yesterday, media all over it, pro-Palestinians against Jewish genocide-committing foot-ballers.>
The football supporters may have included some Jewish military on leave,
but they'd probably argue that the numerous Palestinian civilian
casualties were collateral damage arising from the nasty habit Hamas has
of hiding in the middle of the civilian population. Genocide involves
trying to kill every member of an ethnic group. An insensitivity to
collateral damage is morally repugnant, but it isn't genocide.
