Why did Australia never try to become independent from the British

Lower testosterone and lower population

>>2220261
Because we appreciated what our founders had done to create the foundations for this great country and when our interests grew apart we departed as friends.

You are Americans in denial

No that's Canadians, but tell me more about my own country

Nobody would've helped them if they'd tried. US revolutionary war would've been slapped down like the Boers if it hadn't been for the French.

Because the British did literally nothing wrong and we were happy to chill within the confines of what was set for us. In time, with hard work and patience, we gradually grew and formed our own national identity and earned our independence naturally with no bloodshed.

The settlers NA were a bunch of impatient hyperactive upstarts who wanted to 'muh' everything they could think of and wanted it NOW NOW NOW, like a spoiled child. All it got them was war, a broken alliance and some of the worst legislation ever to pollute democracy, a lot of which survives, and continues to degrade your nation today.

No taxation without representation brah.

All we wanted was representatives in parliament and the same rights as any other British citizens.

Lack of previous autonomy
Different time period
Lack of heavily urbanized population
Lack of university culture around time of rights of man, etc


American revolution is an incredible meeting of so many different things that this should be obvious op

wouldn't expect any less from an australian.

Because not everybody is autistically fixated on a revolutionary war as a foundation myth like USicans. Australia achieved de facto independence from Britain in 1901 without bloodshed, while still retaining the cultural brotherhood of the Commonwealth. It was only with the failure of the Singapore Strategy that Australia pivoted towards the US for defence.

We did at one point. It was called the Eureka Stockade and was essentially a major fuckup by the aussies, who decided to sit around their camp drinking beer and shit talking while the poms surrounded them and fucked them up with a pre-emptive strike. Basically the brits learnt their lesson with the yanks, so the aussies didn't stand much of a chance

Britain decided to let them wipe out the natives, unlike with America.

Australia during federation had some 2m people spread over an area the size of mainland USA. Most of those people were first or second generation british. We had no foreign support like the USA from France and the brits barely taxed us. It was just some coal refueling ports. Whenever there has been an incentive for us to leave the british simply redacted our requirements like with the commonwealth act and the australia act.

Don't see why we didn't just give America its own parliament, just ban poor people and catholics from voting and it would have been fine.

>Had the Americans, instead of flying to arms, submitted the same supposed grievance [as the taxed though unrepresented Palatine counties in England had], in a peaceable and dutiful manner, to the Legislature, I can perceive no reason why their request should be refused. Had they, like the County and City of Chester, represented, that "for lack of Knights and Burgesses to represent them in the High Court of Parliament, they had been oftentimes TOUCHED and GRIEVED with Acts and Statutes made within the said Court, derogatory to their most ancient jurisdictions, liberties and privileges, and prejudicial to their quietness, rest and peace;" this Country [of Britain] would, I am persuaded, have no objection to their being represented in her Parliament...

no we're really not. the fact that Australia was once considered a worker's paradise is a good starting point

So this was the Australian equivalent of the French Revolution, the English Civil War, and the American War of Independence.

The colonies were under monarch rule. Australia was just a place Brits placed their prisoners.

Different times, different situation,

>>2220261
