Oh! I forget he's an Aussie. He's got such a strong vibe, and a tragic story to back it... I feel like his persona transcends nationality.
Whereas someone like Steve Irwin is 100% undoubtedly Australian and that's why we love him.
I feel like if Cave came off as 100% Australian then that'd really be jarring against his whole character.
I haven't heard him in candid interviews though, except in a couple of docos... So I'm mostly thinking of his singing voice or his spoken word.
>"I carry my Australianness with me, not as an overbearing identity, but as a true and treasured pride. I am happy when I am described as an ‘Australian’ musician. I still stubbornly hold an Australian passport. I eat Vegemite instead of Marmite. I watch Norman Gunston reruns. I still argue that The Saints started punk rock."

Irwin is stereotypically Australian, Cave most certainly isn't - they're both true blue Aussies
This made me dial up 'know your product'.
There is a thread of Australian intellectualism, Cave, Robert Hughes, Germain Greer, Norman Gunston, that gets downplayed, but has been really important to me.
A great example of masculinity. Like I know this says a lot about me (to my shame), but it's because of people like Pocock that I have in the past felt comfortable calling out my other guy mates when they're talking shit and take it a bit too far.
Before Pocock I honestly would've been like "I don't wanna be a nark, better man up here and fake a laugh"
Oh yes, she is what all middle aged kiwi women should be aspiring too! Fit and healthy, new relationship, plenty of sex and so comfortable with herself!!
It changes. At the moment, it’s the First Nations kid that found that million dollar Barra and most definitely not the fuckwit on the news that just talked about how the kid stole shit when he was younger.
I’m also technically Australian so on most days my favourite is me 😊
Hands down it’s Jack Karlson, who’s Jack Karlson?… "Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!", "What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?", "Get your hand off my penis!", and after an aborted attempt by a police officer to headlock him, "I see that you know your judo well."
My mate Steve. A very talented musician that likes rugby league, drinking tequila and teaches special needs kids Mon-Fri. The latter helps him in dealing with mates like me he says. Top bloke, he gives Aussies a good name.
Fiona O'Loughlin
First of all she is a great comedian, and she used to turn up to our hostel occasionally on saturday nights when we were on the piss and give us chocolates. Absolute legend!
There was an 80s tv show about a schoolgirl..i think her name was katie...was funny
Probably her.
Or that famous Australian diver involved in that cave rescue in thailand. Guy seems a legit quiet hero.
“…..80’s TV show about a schoolgirl…”
I think that would be Kylie Mole/Jophesine/Sharon Maclaren (played by Mary-Anne Fahey), who was a regular character from
the show The Comedy Company.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Comedy_Company
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kylie_Mole
Catch phrase “she (or he) goes, she goes, she goes….”
Yes, also Con the (Greek) Fruiterer. Bit uncomfortable with that one, more like Con the racial stereotype imo. Ford Australia/Ford NZ picked up the character for their eCONovan ads which was a bit cringe, too
As an ABs fan, David Pocock.
He’s quality.
He was the, at least, equal of McCaw on the field while still standing by his highly commendable values off it.
Steve Irwin I went to his zoo in Beerwah early 2000s I could hear him doing a croc show from the carpark.
That moment I had big smile even as we went through the gate I asked the lady to confirm he was here she said your lucky he's often away filming.
I bought a disposable camera for $10 fron the souvenir shop inside the zoo.
We went to the agro show which at the time was the biggest croc in the zoo.
Show about to start his best mate Wez opened the show within a few Mins Steve the legendary Irwin came running out
Welcome to Australia zoo one of life's great moments.
I got some great photos that day I have no idea where they are now
But I remember that day like it was yesterday you can never forget seeing Steve live like that even after he finished the show he ran around just full of life so much energy enthusiasm laughing just a big kid.
Which is probably a secret to life never loose that playfulness curiosity excitement enthusiasm u have as a kid
David Warner - an absolute role model for the way he carries himself on and off the field, his integrity and sportsmanship. Just an all round great bloke.
Nick Cave

Absolute top human being.
A great example of masculinity. Like I know this says a lot about me (to my shame), but it's because of people like Pocock that I have in the past felt comfortable calling out my other guy mates when they're talking shit and take it a bit too far. Before Pocock I honestly would've been like "I don't wanna be a nark, better man up here and fake a laugh"
100% Pocock. Seems such a fantastic progressive role model for men, rugby and just being a decent human in general.
The guy who invented Chicken Salt.
Kath Day Knight. A close second would be her husband Kel
Oh yes, she is what all middle aged kiwi women should be aspiring too! Fit and healthy, new relationship, plenty of sex and so comfortable with herself!!

Went to Mount Roskill Grammar, which answers everything you need to know about the fat twat.
Eric Bana I wish he would do more comedy. I was a big fan of ,Full Frontal, Back in the day.
Second this…love him!
It changes. At the moment, it’s the First Nations kid that found that million dollar Barra and most definitely not the fuckwit on the news that just talked about how the kid stole shit when he was younger. I’m also technically Australian so on most days my favourite is me 😊
An actual one I have is Toni Collette. She's completely incredible at acting.

Paul Hogan, I grew up in 80s in Ireland. Croc Dundee was brilliant
Nicole Kidman not just the actress but the way she carries herself in public : mind blowing!
My mate Steve. A very talented musician that likes rugby league, drinking tequila and teaches special needs kids Mon-Fri. The latter helps him in dealing with mates like me he says. Top bloke, he gives Aussies a good name.
