Shared on Facebook with the caption “Doing absolutely no favours to their international reputation, Americans have swarmed social media posts of Taylor Swift’s Melbourne concerts confused by a very obvious detail. Can you spot it?”
It’s an article from the Murdoch right-wing paper “The Australian”, so I won’t link the original source.

Aerial photo of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, surrounded to its North and East by tree-filled parks, to the West by a warm-up pitch, and to the South by a train line with two pedestrian overpasses over it. Underneath this photo is the article title “The MCG show detail that has American Swifties baffled” and byline “by Sam McPhee”.
Yeah sure, it’s nice, but not every country can afford a mass ride-in-a-kangaroo-pouch transit system.
Government has started subsidising our Rooways ever since the alert on Dropbears was reduced (their population has been decimated by bushfires and land clearing).
I’m shocked other countries don’t do it, it’s a cheap and effective method of transport, and the fuckers are everywhere!
When I visited Australia, my only complaint was that at the beach, someone told us not to step on blue snails because they’ll kill you. Like, come on. I’m not somebody who steps on snails of any color on purpose. How am I supposed to avoid the murder snails?
The US absolutely can afford it, reduce military spending by 10% That is about 80 billion usd, with 80 billion usd they sure as hell can afford to build some public transport
Sorry but you have clearly never imported and raised giant kangaroos for mass transit. $80 billion is nothing to them. Nothing.
Rich people transporting with the poors?
Will never work.
The cost of cars is something like 4.8 trillion annually in the us. Could build everyone transit in a decade if anyone cared.
