If he is an Aussie character, then, fair bloody dinkum, he would use "sheila', no worries.
Beaut looking sheilas, bonza sheilas and other 'kinds' of sheilas. Most are a bit of orright. On the beaches they have sheilas called 'white pointers' which is fairenuf.
Me, I'm just a bushie so what them there cityites call a beaut sheila I ain't sure, them fella's down there are all a sanga short of a barbie.

Tov,

It's a proud past. Your ancestors were basically sent "Down under" to rot, and instead you built up a nation out of nothing.

Just brushing up your history here, the nation was built out of ruthless exploitation, outright robbery and genocides. For those with at least one tiny bit of ability of imagination it is advised to try and picture the chain of events that led to the extinction of multiple population groups. On the other thread many are talking about the insensitivity in building a couple of 9/11 lookalike towers, how about this one, brushing a whole list of massacres under the rug as if they don't matter?

One of my favorite comedic movies of all time is "Stripes", at one point, Bill Murry's character is delivering an inspirational (though a bit tongue in cheek) speech to his fellow recruits:

"You're different! your ancestors got kicked out of every decent country in the world...you're a mutt!" (paraphrase).

I find similarities between Australia's history and that of my home in the USA.

Yes, indeed there are.
