Yeah, lovely lot down under.
You're obviously quite ignorant of Australian history.

Errors with your post:

1. Very few Australians have any sort of convict ancestry. Most are descended from either European free settlers during the 19th century or from immigrants during various waves of immigration during the 20th century.

2. Australia wasn't a country until 1901 so there were no "Australians" before then. It was the English that massacred the aborigines.

3. It is spelt Tasmania.

Also, you seem to forget that North America was a dumping ground for English criminals as well so I'm not quite sure what it is you are implying.

If this is where it's supposed to get good I must say I'm disappointed. I expected something a little better than that uninformed nonsense.
