    @Catogrande that's a euphemism isn't it.

    Undoubtedly, somewhere on Planet M4L 😀

    Christ on a bike.....where do I start?

    It does amuse me that the blue haired she/he is named after a type of cat.

    "...and could use whichever bathroom and changing room suited their gender identity".

    I wonder how everyone else feels about that?

    I'm not sure who is more stupid here. Australian Immigration for trusting an important test to voice recognition software or this woman for simply not pinching her nose closed, not moving her lips and talking through the top of her head. Learn Strine if you want to be an Aussie sheila.

    I fail to see how that is a problem.

    The problem is more like defining what constitutes speaking english.
    I think I speak english but fucked if I can understand half of what many Londoners say. Their accent has now completely dropped all consonants and replaced them with guttural noises
    The letter T has died.

    What irks me most about Australians is their overuse of the word 'mate' even in hostile situations when the person is clearly not a mate ie 'you're a fucken fluffybunny mate, I'm gonna fuck you up mate'.

    Also if you have to have a sip of beer for every 'mate' bomb dropped during an interview with a league player you're gonna be pissed pretty quick.

    indeed. Mate is sooooo much worse than "bro"...

    I think if I spent another day living there I would have gone into a homocidal rage the next time someone finished a sentence with the word " but" . What the fuck is that all about?

    Somehow I think the Lolita part of the outrage came after the unsaid outrage of a fish burger being given a female name.

    Well shit Ekim just got a whole load of new customers, ones who will go there and spend shitloads, unlike the idiot complainer who probably would just order salad and tap water.

    @Crucial maybe it was a genderless burger that felt that Lolita reflected it's gender neutrality?

    Maybe, we shouldnt be assuming it is a burger, maybe it wants to be a pie?
