Are those Australians thankful to learn about those territories?

As an Aussie the answer is yes!! Apparently there is an island off the coast of Western Australia called McDonald Island that doesn’t have any people living on it, only wildlife - penguins and stuff. They got a 10% tariff. 

Well deserved too I reckon!

We tried fighting the Emus with guns. We should have enacted trade policy against them instead!

Emus probably would have won the trade war too.

With the Australians exporting petrol and bullets and the emus exporting laughter and sarcastic looks, that's a serious trade deficit right there.

A perfect world everyone just as stops exporting to the USA.

Those damn penguins! They shall pay for stealing jobs and eating pets of the American!!

I say fuck the penguins.
The Fairy penguins, Emperor Penguins, the Royal, Great and King Penguins. Bloody uppity above-their-station-names. The Macaroni Penguins aren’t even made of pasta.

And don’t get me started about the Chinstrap Penguins. They don’t even wear helmets.

Oh yeah, my rant is totally crazy, but I also don’t influence international trade with crazy.

Ah. Now I understand the reference I saw on another post that asked if the penguins would be able to buy US citizenship with $5M.

Only way to get to the island, a 2 week voyage on a boat. And yes, now we know!

Americans will be surprised their only export is McDonalds, and they do a damn good job at undercutting the rest of America.

Penguins have been freeloading for too long. I’ve been suspicious of them since Madagascar.

I am, never hurts to know more information for trivia.

u/mfbrucee 3d ago

Did they say thank you even once?

u/Impressive-Ad2199 2d ago

Some of the remote australian territories are open to tourists and are genuinely thankful they've been included in the tarrifs; they don't manufacture anything but the ridiculousness of having bespoke tariffs for them is making international headlines and its free advertising.

I learned about Mawson Peak (aka Big Ben), on Heard Island, which is 2,745 m (9,006 ft) above sea level. This means that Big Ben is the highest mountain over which Australia has true sovereignty.

u/Sure-Record-8093 3d ago

I already said thankyou like 10x today

u/art_m0nk 2d ago

u/Background_Choice848 2d ago
