Do Australians consider Queenslanders different from other Australians?

Queenslanders are considered more red neck and racist, although not all of them, it's just a stereotype. Just look at the election results, there's a higher amount of votes for Pauline Hanson's party, who's also from QLD. source

Steam proves Australians are ripped off?

I wish we had unlimited downloads here in Australia. Then I would actually be able to use Steam properly. source

Why Are The White Australians Complaining About The Indians?

I think it's something about the number of Indian immigrants. Whever you have a large community appear suddenly you get this effect. It's the same with eastern europeans around my ends. There are a lot of them, they hang around in crowded accomodation, they are loud and messy and they hang around in the streets. Someone seriously needs to tell them to build a community centre. source

Is a world government desirable?

If it is federal rather than centralized then it would be OK. Only issues which would be centralized would be those that needed conflict resolution such as sharing of water resources across subunit boundaries, pollution etc. Other issues would be regionalized unless otherwise preferred by all involved. source

What should the government do about obesity?

The only thing the government should do is give the tools to the citizens. Give them easy access to information and tools on how to loose fat efficiently, the rest is the person's choice. source
