You're kidding, right?

'Australians' celebrate all sorts of days throughout the year which are 'foreign' in origin. And it's not as if Halloween has become an Aussie public holiday or anything.

I'm not sure what to say about the comment about the US dollar. Its impact is felt throughout the world and is a reflection of their economic power, notwithstanding the GFC!

I guess that's the way it is when you historically are one of the world's economic powerhouses.
