    Default Ask a question about Australia

    do you actually make anything in Oz? In terms of military equipment (guns, vehicles, etc..) or even in terms of anything (household appliances, cars, computers, anything). I'm sure there isn't a single thing in my ouse with "made in australia" on it.

    There's this stuff that takes out your body-hair sold in the Finnish "TV-shop" called "Nad's" or something along those lines...

    The commercial says that the Nad's- cream is 100 % Australian made and all, doubt that it's the case anyway.

    So, I'd say "Nad's- the 1st body hair removal cream straight from Australia!"

    I heard the new GTO is made in OZ. And they have some pretty sweet Holden autos. I know they make (re-make) a version of the asstastic Cadillac Catera into a good car that is better in terms of performance than the BMW M5.

    In terms of military gear, I have no idea.

    They make the Bushmaster wheeled APC, the Perentie SF modification on the Land Rovers (6X6) called LRPV (Long Range Patrol Vehicle)...

    Why bother making **** when we can get you c*nts to do it all for us.

    We let the UK make the SA-80 so we could laugh at them.

    Nice rifle fellas.

    OZ has the V-8 supercars(Holdens and Fords) series, thats pretty interesting to watch. I think those cars are all supercharged? (correct me if im wrong) Makes some pretty good entertainment when drinking beer.
    Also there a Hyundia (spelling?) pony-truck that was also made for Australia.
    P.s. Vegimite does suck.

    I can tell you something that Australia does create, some of the best Infantry and Special Forces soldiers in the world.

    Just because you dont see much of our stuff over there doesnt mean we dont make anything. Take a trip over here and I guarantee you'll find plenty of Australian made items on the store shelves. Half the stuff probably just isnt exported.
