How is Australia different from the United States? I am thinking about being a foreign exchange student in Australia. I was just wondering, what do you think is the hardest part being a foreign exchange student? What are the biggest differences between the United States and Australia? Can I still watch the same TV shows there? Are there certain foods over there(like different kinds of snack foods or candy) that I can't get over here and vice verse?
In Australia, what is the difference between the Master of Commerce degrees and the MBA degrees? I noticed that they offer both of those degrees. The Master of Commerce degrees are awarded by the Faculty of Business and Economics of the respective school for the most part. The MBA is always awarded by the Business School of that school. Both degrees are unbelievably expensive. What is the main difference between these two degrees and how are they regarded? How would employers in the US distinguish between the Master of Commerce from Australia and the MBA from there? It's not an MS degree. They call them "Master of Commerce" and those degrees are in general business, not a particular field such as accounting or finance.
What will it take for India to overpower Australia in cricket? A population of over 1 billion and a lot of its citizens are hard working and talented people. But somehow beating Australia still remains a near impossible task in cricket. Australia is very good in sports, not just cricket but in olympics too -- they win lots of golds, silvers and bronze too. For India olympic medal is next to impossible. Australia also played in soccer world cup 2006 -- India can't play in soccer world cup for a very long time. So despite such large population, skill and talent why India cannot compete with Australia in sports?

Are there regions in Australia without any dangerous animals? I would like to try living in Australia some time, but my wife is so worried about poisonous spiders and snakes all the time, and that one of them might get one of our cats. But aren't there areas where our kitties could go roaming and stay "unbitten"? How's Tasmania for that? Or Adelaide? Or... I haven't a clue. Do you have any knowledge of a creepie-crawlie free region in Australia?

I've only heard of an Earthquake in Australia once but I looked into it, and it seems much more common than I thought. How do earthquakes happen in Australia when none of the Tectonic plates do not even cross or come too close to Australia?
What American first arrived in Australia after Australia was settled in 1788? Did this person intend to live in Australia? Did they perhaps jump ship? I expect this person arrived prior to 1800. In 1802 Americans were on Kangaroo Island whaling and building a boat that took them to Sydney. These are the first Americans I know of. The three officers with Cook in 1770 were not Americans as they were before the declaration of independence, 1776.

I was wondering what scholarships I could apply for to get into something like that? I definitely want to be in Australia though. Thank you for your help.
Why do the seasons in Australia start on the 1st day of the month as opposed to the 21st, everywhere else? I've always wondered why in Australia the seasons start on the 1st of every third month as opposed to most other countries I know of that start on the 21st of every third month. Eg. Summer in Australia starts on the 1st of December. However winter in the Northern hemisphere doesn't begin until the 21st of December. Shouldn't summer begin on the 21st of December as well? Are there any other countries that do this as well? And if so why? Which is the correct date?

How did humans make their first appearance in Australia? Hello everyone, I am from Uruguay. My name is Saul. I have a doubt about your origins. You people from Australia, how do the first ancestors get into that Island? The country of Australia is in the middle of a huge ocean so, centuries ago there were no people in the country, when people started to migrate to other regions they walked. So how those people cross the ocean to get into Australia?
Who else thinks the continent of Australia should be changed? It's rather misleading to consider Australia a continent of its own. If that were to be the case, what continent would New Zealand, Indonesia, and the numerous Polynesian Islands be considered a part of? Besides Indonesia, the other islands are clearly NOT part of Asia. So therefore, I propose that Australia and all these other countries be grouped into one continent: Oceania (the geographical term for these islands). Anyone care to comment?

Shouldn't Australia just buy the contract for the F111 and build them here? Instead of replacing the ageing pigs with superhornets and JSF's, Australia should just buy the rights to build the pigs here. Why buy new designs for big bucks when the F111 still has excellent long range strike capabilites. I know people will argue 'there old' but seriously- built new in Aus they would not have any of the problems they have now. Especially as the US congress will even consider selling us there F-22's, which is in the works at the moment.

Do you need to live in Australia once you are granted a temporary spouse visa? I am married to an Australian and we live in the UK. I am planning on applying for a temporary spouse visa, which then becomes a permanent visa after 2 years. What would happen if we didn't relocate to Australia having been granted the visa. Does this invalidate the visa and prevent a permanent one being issued in 2 years time. I am aware that you have to enter australia by the "specified initial entry date" on the visa, but less clear on whether you are then expected to remain there for the duration. Thanks for any advice.
Why is Australia's population estimated to reach around 35 million people within 40 years? I heard that Australia's population is projected to grow to around 35 - 40 million people within a period of 40 years or so. My question is, why will it grow to that number? Is it b/c of immigration or are people just having more kids? I am asking as I always hear that Australia is pretty much a desert and incredibly short on water. So would that be a good thing if Australia's population would basically double within this short time frame?
How do i get a job in Australia being italian? Is there discrimination? How does it work with sponsor and visa I'm 26 years old male from Italy actually living in Mexico. I am planning to go living in Australia looking for a job but I am not quite sure how easy would be to find it considering I should look for a sponsor once I will be right there, not before. How does it work with sponsorship and acceptance by Australian authorities? Is it too complicated? Should I go back to Italy in order to ask for the VISA? Can I do it from another country? Can I just do everything in Australia? I hope somebody will give me some clues. It is a little confusing for me. I also think that this procedure will penalize me once the companies need some employee as soon as possible. Should the company pay some exaggerated fee in order to sponsor foreigners? In few words, am I discriminated with respect to Australian citizens? I think the situation with Italy should be pretty close to most of the European countries so...in addition to Australian people I hope lots of European immigrants will give their opinion. Tks!
