I'm so sick of people claiming Australian's don't want the vaccine. As an Australian, living in Australia, i can assure you that the vast majority of us WANT to vaccine. There are a few moronic anti-vaxers and conspiracy theorists that manage to make a heap of noise, but the vast majority of us DO want the vaccine. Unfortunately Australia banked on Astra Zeneca, but then it started causing blood clots, so health experts warned against people under 60 getting Astra, and we have a shortage of Pfizer.... AND the vaccine hasn't even been offered to the population under 40 years old yet. So we are all stuffed. Our government is far too slow with the rollout because of our good record of being 'covid free' and our inability to obtain enough Pfizer. It's a mess. But we DO want to vaccine.

People don't want the vaccine there ,so what chance have they got ,can't keep the doors locked forever

um we DO want the vaccine. Pfizer is not even being offered to people under 40 yet so many of us have not even been given to opportunity to obtain a vaccine. We have supply issues in Australia due to us banking all our hopes on Astra Zeneca, but then that started causing blood clots… health experts warned against giving it to anyone under 60. So we want it, we just can’t GET it.

The fact that the people of Japan abide by this rule that standers stand on one side of the escalators leaving room for people to walk by on the other side was actually one of the best and most orderly things I'd ever seen the first time i landed in Japan. I love it! I cant help but think this initiative is also to prepare the people of Japan for the olympics, as they will have to suffer foreigners standing side by side on escalators and not politely standing to one side to let people through. It is a daily frustration i have in Sydney stations and shopping centres after having spent time in Japan hah.

Lately I have been really embarrassed of more and more Australian people and their behaviour in Japan! They're such morons! Drinking on the streets, not following the rules, swearing and yelling in public because they seem to be of the opinion that no one knows what they're saying because they're speaking English. It's appalling and so ignorant. I hate being lumped in with this kind of Australian as one of their "fellow Aussies". It seems because of cheaper flights, Japan has become the hot new destination for the former Bali bound Bogans of Australia.
