Hmmm, learned something new today, thanks! I suppose I ought to be glad not to have grown up in the subtropics then, but I'll keep that in mind if I ever end up in those regions.
No worries

Most of the time they are just little brown or green ones, but occasionally you will get a really big soft green one. Very gentle and harmless. Handy too as there are huge spiders that are terrifying so they will eat them.
Ok back to the topic. I'm actually very curious to watch this guy as he's so close to home.
The boycott harmony day video has probably been spurned on by a movement called Reclaim Australia.
It's basically an anti Islam, anti halal organisation that gets a lot of coverage in the media. The group leaders claim they are just every day mums and dads, but their rallies attract heaps of small ultra right wing groups that have ties to neo nazis and stuff.
The town he's from has had a few rallies to fight sharia law fro spreading to rockhampton (you can't make this ridiculous shit up)

Right wing political party, I think they only run on a state level, not federally at this stage. They are popular in little towns like Rockhampton who are rednecks and terrified of the impending sharia law caused from buying Halal meat.
They have tie ins with groups like the United Patriot Front who's members advocate the reading of mein kampf in schools, and having pictures of Hitler in classrooms.

Whatever he is reading from sounds pretty much like it's straight from one of these far right groups websites or Facebook groups.
I'm really very curious to find out more of his political leanings. If he is involved with these ultra right groups that like Hitler, he's going to be in for a rude shock if he discovers that his kind would be executed or thrown in gaol for being autistic lol
