I just love listening to whatever he has to say......I would even listen to him when he would read three hours out of the telephone book.....

Australia was forcibly colonised by 1000s of Irish petty criminals shipped there by the English throughout the 19th century.

Ned Kelly (famous Aussie outlaw) claimed to be a proud irishman.

@SHANEYBOII09 The great Irish famine started in 1845- 52 before this there was 1740-41 famine

Woah!

I completely forgot that he's Aussie. I never heard him speak in interviews before, and in movies he either had an American or a British accent, and it just surprised me.

@giddygumdrops And the Irish connections are because the majority of the convicts who first colonised Aus were Irish :)

[herb678]

@giddygumdrops Haha, makes me even more proud to be Aussie in a wierd way :P

[herb678]

Bloody hell it's wierd hearing my own accent.

@SHANEYBOII09 - Where some of the initial immigrants came from. The vast majority are actually free settlers from all over the world.

[SHANEYBOII09]

during the 1600's there was a huge famine in Ireland and people wer starvin and all. so lots of people stole food from the rich. the prisons wer all full, so the english government (who ruled Ireland at that time) introduced a law for that time that any1 cought doing something illegal, were sent 2 australia because it was like a remote almost desert island. This is where alot of Australia's white populatio come from.
