 australia will never allow Tesla’s FSD, to protect our most integral pastime, operating heavy machinery at 0.15 and cleaning pedestrians off sidewalks 
 Are you really an aussie if you haven't towed a boat down a country road with a dude revving a chainsaw in the boat at 120kph while pissed? I think not! 
 True story @mleku 
 haha, spent the first 36 years of my life there

i myself was once driving my girlfriend's proton satria at 160km/h up the mostly very flat straight highway between mackay and cairns somewhere at 3 in the morning... that was fun... pedal to the metal!

but i was regaled with many such stories by my school mates over the years, i lived in a regional center - my mother had a bf for a while who ran a farm, i was 12, got taught how to drive the ute around the fields, sat on the back of a ute one time with mum driving and the farmer was shooting roos (hit him right between the eyes, mum still has the hide) 
 rite of passage iwo 
 nanny governments protect you for your safety and then send swat teams to murder your family, it's pretty insane how dangerous this safety actually is

give me the natural dangers of life any day over those of government 
 Man, life was just more fun back then hey.  
 yeah, this last 20 years have been dark as fuck

i have a kinda sense that this kind of wild life is going to come back with a vengeance in the next 20 years

i don't believe the forces of oppression are as strong as they present themselves... just need a little more information to get out about who is actually behind the AU gov - i mean, you know about the situation with that report containing all the names of prominent figures in australian politics involved in sex trafficking? yeah, that kind of thing, it's bubbling under the surface and sooner or later it's going to break and the heretofore ignorant folk are going to be hunting these psychopaths down

i grew up in queensland, also... so i know about the probably wildest rural culture of the great southern land 
 I never saw that list, but I wouldn't be surprised and it fits with my hypothesis on power I've been working on. 

Anyone that has or seeks any position of significant power, is either corrupt, a sex offender, or both, until proven otherwise.  
 exactly

the only honorable leaders are pushed into the job against their will

everyone else who gets into power is psychopathic 
 also, nobody saw that list who wasn't on it... there was a publication ban placed on it for 75 years, absolute outrage that such a list is not made public, i hope some day soon it will get out

they are all pedos and rapists and cannibals

they all also think they are powerful but the existence of these lists and the documentary evidence behind them is held by people with far more power who are the real ones calling the shots

i know it may seem a bit crazy but i also believe that there are people with the power to fix this problem out there... ancient ancestors who migrated a long way away with their advanced science, and left behind dozens if not hundreds of promises that they would return and put an end to it, in a special kind of court proceeding commonly referred to as Judgement Day (though i dunno about the resurrection part, that seems unlikely to me) 
 What is an ute? 
 americans call them "pick-up trucks"

it's pronounced like the german way of saying "youth" - YOOT
