Nearly everything in Australia is trying to kill you.
Kinky Friedman described being in Australia during his time in the Peace Corps:
"Later, before trekking across the Outback, I studied the list of things a white man would require to make the trip safely and then reviewed the items an Aboriginal would require to make the same trip. The white man needed the following thing: sturdy hiking boots, large canteen with emergency supplies of water, first-aid kit, two-way radio, flashlight, tinned foods of every variety under the sun (that’s why they needed to be tinned), broad-brimmed hat with hole punched in one side of the brim for the two-way radio or walkie-talkie, gun and knife for protection in case you meet an idiot like yourself, maps of the area (though it hasn’t really changed since Banjo Patterson wrote “Waltzing Matilda” in 1896), and emergency phone and fax numbers so that you can contact the nearest koala bear with a pager (though, of course, they’re not really bears), and antisnake and antispider venom, though if you’re bitten by the redback spider it’s curtains on opening night. The female redback eats her mate, incidentally, during mating. ... If you’re bitten by the taipan snake, I’m afraid there won’t be time to upgrade your software. The taipan denatures the blood, breaking it down totally and instantaneously. The taipan, they say in Australia, can kill a horse in half a second. That concludes the list of items a white man needs to survive in the Outback. The Aboriginal’s list of necessities is much shorter, of course. In fact, it consists of only one item: a stick."

They're easier to track that way. But that doesn't affect your conclusion.

Jokes on her, there's a segment of the population who's into being ordered not to do that.
Coney, see recent writings and twitterings from Sailer about Oz: There are a lot of obviously white people claiming to be Aborigine, in the Dolezal method. Nobody says anything. It's weird.

Ah, the good ole "It's not real communism" message:
The saddest thing about modern childhood is that kids never learn to cope with their own neighborhood. Of what possible use could they be if asked to serve anyone else, or in any adversity?
Even as a minor, I never had to have permission, much less a parent's involvement, to travel the county. The constant insistence by media that we are all pedophiles eager to rape everyone, that we are all incompetent to do anything but call 911, that we should look at our feet because we Americans aren't worth a shit has been taken to heart, swallowed whole by people taught that they should do what they want and get others to take the blame and responsibility... if they just vote the right way, I guess.

No, but it's a sensational point. I'm certain the lefties spending our money to give them the phones have no sinister intent with their tracking... For the moment. It could all be about making sure they're getting to the food, transport and housing being provided for these people.
The nasty surveillance comes later.

Send them into the Outback (not the restaurant) with only a stick. That'll solve the problem.

You never see them in the Outback with a stick, but they sometimes turn up and Texas Roadhouse, stoned.

Marmite is proof you should get your yeastly nutrients in bread and beer, as God intended.
BTW, a friend was an exchange student in England in the late '70s. One of the most treasured items in care packages from home was peanut butter. The Brits he shared it with did not understand the allure.

I bought a 250g jar of Marmite on my last trip to Australia, and brought it back to America. The trick is to apply a very small amount to toast, and put cream cheese on top. I actually came to like the taste by the time the jar ran out.

Try snacks with small quantities of Marmite on, for months or years, before progressing to actually spreading the stuff on bread. Twiglets are your gateway drug here, basically.
For the fate of America, as well: “We can have a documentary-ethics panel about it later.”
But we probably won't.
