Australian ineptitude with technology is not only reflected in your cuisine.

Australia's problem is that it's too nice, too agreeable, too soft, too willing to shaft itself to please others.
Willing to ruin its economy, which you'll no doubt be pleased to know is soon to become one of the worst in the world...by signing up to the global green dream, when its carbon emissions are so small that if it disappeared under the sea tomorrow it would make almost no difference to anything.

Went around signing every nuclear non-proliferation treaty going...trying to be all things to all people.
...allowing Britain to conduct atomic bomb tests in the Outback...and not grabbing nukes for itself.
Now it has to depend on other countries for its defence as China bangs the drums of war.

Cuisine?
I can buy Mexican, Asian, food in my supermarket, and African, Mexican, Asian etc food in my district.

Bambu, tell Australia to stay close with California, we are strong, and we can work together on defense, fashion, movies, music, television, and on other things. We can also help you with clean energy ideas.

And Australia and New Zealand need to become the new loving vacation destination for the Chinese. And it is a compliment that the Chinese are all learning English. They love us. 

China Town in San Francisco, and in New York, and in Los Angeles, can be our ambassadors to China. And the Chinese love Malibu.

Salute,

Bambu, the Asians love Luaus with roasted pigs with pineapple and mangoes and with sliced apples, etc, and they love beach parties and music and dancing, they love Karaoke, and swimsuits, and they love Margaritas and Pina Coladas, etc. They love Malibu, and they are all learning English.

Salute,

Bambu, Australia has a thriving Mango Industry, the hippies in Australia can smoke pot and they can have communes and they can sell mangoes to the resorts for the Chinese tourists in Australia and in New Zealand. The fishermen can catch fish for the tourists, and the tourists can have crab and lobster and shrimp, etc. And the tourists can drink Mimosas, I recommend the Sunkist Orange Juice from California, we need to have thriving trade between California and Australia and New Zealand, etc.

Salute,

This question and result by YouGov poll is so very telling. 
Respondents were ask to pick one that they agreed with:

A. Our lives are threatened by terrorists, criminals, and illegal immigrants and our priority should be to protect ourselves.

B. It is mostly full of good people, and we must find a way to embrace each other and not allow ourselves to become isolated.

Trump voters by margin of 70 to 18 picked A.  Biden voters by margin of 76 to 11 picked B.

Trump voters live in fear; Biden voters live in hope.

Best hope ATP is for colleges to ramp up outreach programs to low-income families, which remain disproportionately PoC and indigenous.  Without that outreach, low income enrollments tend to drop when AA systems are scrapped.

In related SCOTUS news, the Court has unanimously stood up for diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. For white Christians, at least.

Well not even close.
Affirmative Action was designed as a reparation for the ugliness of discrimination.
It has warped into nothing more than a glorified DEI severely used to hold down Asian and Latino
Students.
So much so that schools are dropping SAT tests and turning their backs on Meritocracy.
Voters overwhelmingly oppose , no matter how they interpret the Constitution
Liberals oppose 60-40 while the numbers for Independents and the GOP are 70-80 per cent opposed.

Affirmative Action never got red a job despite red declaring loudly and to everyone that he is and always has been a half-wit.

At least it did not have to be buried at a crossroads with a stake driven through its heart like the independent legislature theory. Back to hell with that fuel for fascist plots.

Ban the admission of legacy students and donor offspring. Student bodies will get much smarter and more diverse.
