Wasn't Mad Max Australia? Neither group likes to be confused with the other.

You missed the word style. As in "in the style of the thing"

Also we are not groups. We are countries.

Australians are largely unbothered by being mistaken for Kiwis. Not so much the other way so if in doubt ask if they're from New Zealand.

Most of Australia already is a literal Mad Max style wasteland, they didn't dress it up for the movies, it just is

Lies, we have to clear the meth heads out for filming.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the meth heads were part of the aesthetic?

You'd think so, just put the fuckers in leather and boom, background colour but they keep stealing tyres and biting the Grip

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

It's okay, they will sell the tyres back to you for $6.40 in shrap, and the partially dismantled cars also fit with the aesthetic. The grip needs to be bitten sometimes or they get lazy ..

How is that relevant? They never said anything that hinted at them thinking Mad Max was in New Zealand. They referenced the reason for the billionaires to go to these bunkers as a Mad Max style collapse, and that in this case of such a collapse they'd not choose the one place on earth that is the home of pissed off Maori.

Yeah I can read, can you? Look at the text on top. Do the math, it's not that hard.
