    Yeah I am just saying idk if there’s much Australia wide culture. Like what do I have in common with someone from Perth, it’s sort of like comparing countries inside the eurozone.

    NSW has had Nazi rallies with Liberal pollies attending for example. I think regional nsw is more relaxed but not friendly than the city, which has a more charged culture in general. We get anti trans speakers at the unis etc in Sydney, while out west people are just more willing to leave everyone alone and focus on their own problems.

    When I travel to melbourne people seem a lot friendlier than Sydney, even the lgbt parts of sydney are kinda unwelcoming (tbh there is a strong element of misogyny in the sydney lgbt scene which is gay dominated). Haven’t spent much time up north but never had troubles in coffs harbour (near qld border) where people are more likely to just be confused and blunt about it than mean.

    Tazzie was also quite chill when I travelled, even catcalls were more respectful :p.

        She actually did it multiple times! The one you would have heard of was in Victoria, which is up there as one of the most progressive states in Australia. She also came to Canberra, the capital and where I live. I obviously attended the counter-protest and there were also Nazis there (one pictured here).

          I hope they ban her from Australia (and ideally, everywhere else in the world). She’s one of the few people who I view as genuinely evil. If there’s twelve people and one Nazi at a table, there’s twelve Nazis at the table.

          Good on you for being on the right side of history. The fight is not over yet 🏳️‍⚧️. Also that is terrifying and takes a lot of courage to be in such close proximity to open Nazis.
