Senoufou,

Apart from the usual rednecks who live in every country, Australia is openly welcoming and friendly to all people, and it is written in all the policies.

My best recommendation to get an unbiased look at Oz is to check out our (government-funded) broadcaster, ABC.com.au/News

As a government funded broadcaster you might think that it is biased towards the government, but our ABC is fearless in presenting unbiased facts. She is affectionately known as Aunty ABC.

An American friend once said that he never knew the half of what was happening in the U.S. until he came here and saw the news in our media.


gillymor, we ARE biased against kayaks, so nice try.
