I was in Australia 6 months ago on a 3 week motorcycle trip around Queensland. The people I met were all unhappy with the new laws. As far as anti American, I was never treated so well by the people I met there. Sure never picked up on any anti American vibe. I found just the opposite.
It's the media and most people, I guess you must have met some decent people
American gun laws are bad enough, but this sure makes me glad I don't live in Australia.
What I find frustrating is that I was almost born in the US, but instead my dad decided not to with the record contract in California. But it may have been for the best, as I could have turned out to be a Liberal if my family moved there.
