  1. As an Australian let me spell these stats out to any Ted Cruz supporters who might be trolling. Australia has 25.7 million people compared to Texas with just under 29million. So we have a similar sized population. I went to college in America and have been to Texas several times. Australia and Texas are fairly similar in geography - as in mainly flat, with similar weather. We are both reasonably spread out with a few major population centers. Most importantly the available medical technologies are essentially identical. Texas has 69,760 dead from COVID while Australia has 1,577. Based on population Texans are almost 40x more likely to have died from COVID. So please Teddy (and any of his supporters), don't tell us anything about handling COVID. And we also consider it criminal to let children freeze to death.

  3. As an Australian let me spell these stats out to any Ted Cruz supporters who might be trolling. Before we get to the stats, let me say ALL of the times I visited Texas the people I met there were fantastic. So please pass it on that we DO NOT consider TC as representative of all Texans. Australia has 25.7 million people compared to Texas with just under 29million. So we have a similar sized population. I went to college in America and have been to Texas several times.

  4. As an Australian I'd normally take that as a bit insulting but right now I am reminded of something I read in the Chicago Tribune when I was at college in America in the late 80s. The writer was comparing the founding of Australia to the founding of America. He said (words to the effect) that America was founded by the Pilgrims, religious fundamentalists out to make more rules on top of the rules they already had. Australia was founded by party animals. That's not entirely true, but I always found it an interesting comparison. On the COVID issue here are some facts. Australia has 25.7 million people compared to Texas with just under 29million. So we have a similar sized population. I went to college in America and have been to Texas several times. Australia and Texas are fairly similar in geography - as in mainly flat, with similar weather. We are both reasonably spread out with a few major population centers.

  5.  @shannansmith2188  I'm Australian but went to college in America and have been to Texas a few times. Had good experiences always so I know he DOES NOT represent all of you. 👍

  6.  @user-ik4mf2lu1h  Ted Cruz logic - dead frozen kids don't get hungry. In Oz if one of our power companies had let a child freeze to death and the local politician had flown his family out like that he would have been forced to resign. Look just what happened to one of ours. He won the defamation court case against the media and then LOST his job because nobody knows who paid his legal bill. He's now in serious deep shite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om2viufzPmw
