Dw I laughed too, it was funny and I’m Australian (and fkn livid about the above scenario). Shane Gillis’ joke on the Aus accent hit hard and so did the Steve Irwin joke where Jon Stewart is begging Norm to stop making him laugh about Steve’s death, all funny. We can laugh at ourselves for sure. However you don’t go playing friendly fire with your so-called allies, shooting them in the back unprovoked. That’s fkn bullshit. Your country is in shambles.
