Is Mise,

Now that you have settled down and have and hopefully, dragged out everything you can think of to throw up, you might reflect on the fact that the French 'influence' you got so excited about was on the English language, not on Australia. So, I repeat, Australia owes France sweet FA, and we will survive with without them, as have the English despite warring with them over the ages. There is animosity even today.

ttbn,
Of course, how remiss of me, the English language has nowt to do with Australia.

I comprehend, (from ‘comprehender’ Old French).

Poor, miffed France, eh?

1940. France capitulated to Germany
WW2. Vichy France collaborated with Germany
1958. DeGaulle established a nuclear force, and to hell with "allies"
1966. De Gaulle took France from Nato operational command
1979. Spat on Australia, NZ, Pacific Islands and did nuclear tests
1985. Bombed Rainbow Warrior in NZ.

Is Mise,

What are ya? Mr. Foxy - nonstop yapping and determined to have last say? It's all yours.

Nah,

Is Mise's just ruffling a few feathers.
(smile).

Well done ttbn

And I add that Vichy French troops were killing Australian troops in the Syria-Lebanon Campaign in WW2 http://www.awm.gov.au/collection/E84669
