The only one falling for propaganda is you, who has made claims without evidence to support, and all while I have provided sources to back up my claims.

Have a good day. Come back when you're ready to engage in a legitimate conversation on the subject.

So, again, more yapping without evidence. The truth should be easy to prove and provide via sources I shouldn't have to "take your word" for it . . . and of course, others who live in Australia also back up my and the BBC's version of events regarding the soldiers. I guess the BBC was pushing propaganda, too, when it reported on ADF soldiers preparing to enforce COVID restrictions in Sydney

Ok your correct, they were put it to ensure that people in COVID hotspot zones did not go more than 10km form their house, though it is hardly military rule, it actually happened in several Australian apparently.

Though its not as through we were under house arrest or anything,

Unfortunately, this is what I've come to expect from those who push a line of propaganda and get called out for it with actual evidence to the contrary.

The Gold Coast is a bit unusual or retro, at the moment as it is lacking in international tourists compared to normal times. The way the majority of people are local took me right back to my childhood. I do not think it is full of chain restaurants however.
I do sometimes appreciate these kind of comparisons, though, as they help to really provide a contrast between two locations. The Gold Coast in many ways sounds very desirable.

This comparison is absurd, first of all. Miami is a world class city. Gold Coast is not.
While better food is ultimately subjective, I would be shocked if that was the case, too, at least as far as what most would state. I did enjoy myself when I lived in Sydney. But I did miss certain things in Sydney that I could easily find back in the states, to include authentic Mexican food and authentic West African food. I can't imagine that the Gold Coast fares better in this regard.

I would not live on the Gold Coast myself , but I hate misinformation campaigns.

Id agree, the food on the GC is not great, even if a little underrated, even by Australians themselves. Though you are comparing one area with 10 times the population of another, of course it will be better if you know where to go.

Florida / Miami-Dade beaches were actually surprising to me in that context. I don't care about your hypersensitivity to anything you might think is critical of the US. I'm in the US, and I like it. Me liking it though isn't going to unsee what I saw.
I will say that, while I don't doubt that this is true, it was always interesting to me when I lived in Sydney and everyone seemed so fit and into fitness Maybe it was something about living in a large, urban setting. But, even in large cities in the US like NYC, the level of obesity is more noticeable.
