I never take for granted how great Australia is and how well I have been treated here, so thank you for this chance at making a good life.
I am glad the world opened their eyes to female Japanese stars. I think people for so long paid attention to Mexico, Canada, Australia and England and never Japan.
If a company in Australia has to pay tax and the other one doesn’t, of course it’s a disadvantage.
Even before the discovery of copper South Australia had turned the corner.
Black Saturday reminded many Australians of what they know only too well: that of all the advanced economies, Australia is perhaps the one most vulnerable to climate change.
People often expect that I should know a lot of things because I’m black. I don’t really explain it to people, but it’s like, I’m from Australia, my Mum’s Aussie, and I grew up with five other Aussie brothers and sisters.
Since retirement, I have been given the opportunity to spend time with my family. I have three children, aged 16, 14 and one. That is what is really important to me. I have also done a little commentating in Australia and am part of the MRF academy in Chennai.
At the age of 16, I left Australia to go to Bolton.
It was tough coaching Australia. They were so set in their ways because they have been the right ways – but the culture needed changing because the discipline was shoddy.
I put a bushfire out. It was one of the most incredible things, terrifying. We get them a lot in Australia.
I don’t look to celebrities for style anymore because I’ve learned the chain of command. They are being dressed by a stylist who’s getting inspiration from a 16-year-old kid running the streets of Melbourne, Australia. Once I learned that chain of command, I just started taking it to the streets.
I am happy to playing against teams like South Africa and Australia early on in my career. It is going to make me stronger as a cricketer.
I auditioned for ‘Avatar’ in Australia. It was a ‘blind’ audition. I didn’t know what the movie was about and whom it was for.
My husband does say it is Australia’s job and my family’s job to keep me grounded. They do a very good job!
How comedic are squirrels? We don’t have squirrels in Australia. The first time I saw a squirrel was at a meeting at Disney.
We had to leave Australia to become international stars.
I would love to take a role like Greg Chappell did for Australia. I think I have a good eye for talent and this is something that we have never taken on board in the Caribbean.
With my experience with Metallica, I’ve already surfed Portugal, Morocco, and all over Australia with Kirk.
When I race in Australia or Korea or Japan, I know it will be a big change for me because Ferrari fans are worldwide. It’s very nice if you win, but it’s not so good if you lose. All this is part of being a Ferrari driver.
My grandfather was like Australia’s Tom Jones.
America has given me everything Australia couldn’t. I grew up on a dairy farm. Now I live in Isleworth, a gated community in Orlando with Tiger Woods down the street.
