Yes. I think it means,"any attitude or set of values that is different from mine". :p

I know her father was abit over the top, but isn't she the 1 that we spent a fortune on then she cracked it and reckened we could shove this country....

Someone like greg Norman or Mundine said the same they would never be let to forget it..

She doesn't get my support...Plus she doesn't grunt enough, like the rest seem to now days..

Cheers Ean

Yes Ean, it is Un-Australian. In Australia everybody loves an underdog. Build them up.

In Australia, the proper time to say negative things about a sportsperson is when they are winning or top dog. This is when you should engage "Tall Poppy Syndrome". Slash them down to size.

I hope this helps with your sports viewing etiquette.

It was reported on the wireless the other day Jelana and her entourage played up on their flight into aussie and were met be fed Police,some were returned on the next outbound flight.
