Plagiarism refers to copying written text. They just straight up stole the pavlova.

And what's up with all the single quotes? Your keyboard broken or something?

Look at our size and population tard...

we still built the kikass britten, arguably the best motorcycle ever made... only a idiot disagrees with me on this. such as yourself perhaps not that i am implying.

Australia's population is not that much different from NZ when compared to most others, and it doesn't take 20 million people to come up with an invention, just 1.

You can argue that its the best motorcycle ever made all you want, I had never heard of it until reading these forums, and there were only 10-11 ever made, could hardly be called a production bike.

Velox

I couldn't find anything about them, I think I saw an old bike on TradeMe with that name?

I live in NZ and like it here, I don't see what your problem with Australia is, half the people from NZ I know want to move there.

So, make a thread like this, expect to get shut down.

The Velox was one of those bi-cycle type machines that had the motor that dropped down on the front wheel and a roller powered the front wheel. A sort of up market version of the old Power Pack where the motor dropped down on the rear wheel.

1979 Bionic ear - The cochlear implant was invented by Professor Graeme Clark of the University of Melbourne.

I can vouch for these things - f*ckin amazing.

And the 'Great Dame' put gladiolii in the Australian gardens. No exactly an invention more of a statement.

Hats with corks dangling off 'em.....good for flies they reckon.
in 20 years there'll be more of them living here than Kiwis living there, they reckon.....Global warming & a very dry country according to something I heard on Nat. Rad(IO).
That'll be O.K though, 'cause they would've of been another region of N.Z since ages ago eh

Refrigerator - Using the principal of vapour compression, James Harrison produced the world's first practical refrigerator. He was commissioned by a brewery to build a machine that cooled beer.

what was that?

Bionic ear (cochlear implant) - electrodes in the inner ear recieve impulses from external speech processor and (in my case) restore hearing from nothing to not-very-far-from-perfect (on one side, anyway. Need another $50k to get the other side done).

While there are CIs made in USA and Europe, the Australian one is considered the best.
