Probably my most consistent complaint with Australia over the years. Everyone just BEGS to be wrapped in cotton wool. Everything is banned. It's progressively become the most boring country in the entire world, especially in major centres.

Over regulated and tightly controlled, meanwhile the general population seem to beg for more rules. Odd for a nation where an outlaw is our folk hero.

Australia likes to see itself as the irreverent larrikin but really we seem to be a nation of wowsers.
