    Well not really. Ryan is responding not narrating. He's not claiming to be the expert. You can see clearly some agitation towards the American narrator claiming to be an expert in the long-winded video which is really unremarkable. I think I agree with Ryan. And he likes to pull a face. I think that's what's funny about this site

    The difference between them and the convicts is a bit academic, since most were only petty criminals who were stealing to get by at a time when there was no social security only poor houses and exploitation. Some were Irish radicals, some were hardened criminals but most were not. Thank goodness for the Irish and the Scots though, they livened things up! Australia was founded on a lot of idealism and notions of equality and we were among the first to give the vote to women and recognise one vote one value. In early times voting was according to considerations like property.

    Fact check Ryan 😢 the American lady stated Bob Hawke as the longest serving Prime Minister. He wasn’t. Robert Menzies was the longest serving with 4 terms then John Howard with 3 and then everyone else who have served 2-2.5 or 1 or less. The 6cm movement north of the continent is actually 7. And the 7,000 beaches is nearly 12,000. I haven’t subbed to her channel. But you definitely need to come here and check it out for yourself.

    You're right about Menzies then Howard in longevity as PM . I think you may have have confused how many elections they won as PM with how many terms they served as PM. Australian Federal Representatives are voted in 3 year terms ,though they can call for an election sooner. So with Menzies 16yrs (without counting his first term 1.5years approx) and Howard serving 11years they must have served more than 4 and 3 terms as PM .

She was wrong about the longest serving Prime Minister too. Robert Menzies (10 years longer) and John Howard (3 years longer) served much longer than Bob Hawke's 8 years. "Oh what is that? That's cool." Was Port Arthur - the site of convict settlement in Tasmania (also the site of the worst mass shooting in the world ever at the time (1996) which prompted Australia's very successful gun control laws and gun buyback).

One easily checked fact would be to see Australia's longest serving Prime Minister, which was not Bob Hawke but Robert Menzies. Bob was awesome though ... gave us a public holiday for winning the America's Cup in 1983! We were the first to do it since it began 132 years prior so we celebrated hard!

He was elected because for many years, before entering politics, he was the most popular person in Australia, known for being a man of the people as well as being very smart (a Rhodes Scholar). In fact, from the time he entered parliament, it was always assumed that he would be the next prime minister, sooner rather than later, and of course, he was.
