I keep hearing how it’s a “traditional celebration”
It may be but not in Oz.
Never existed here 45 years ago, it’s an import.
Unless we’ve had a rise of religious types in our midst…?

Yep, we used to celebrate Guy Fawkes day
back all those years ago and blow up letter boxes with Penny Bungers tied together and launch Skyrockets from Coke bottles. Then we would have a huge bonfire down at the local park or creek in our case and have a late evening game of cricket with the fire as our lights.Bomb making 101, that was fun Oz style and we all grew up normal...😳

Plenty of people get influenced, there called suckers and places like YouTube provide a steady income by allowing them to ply their BS.i know a kid who makes 300k a year, drives a Tesla, new home and gives financial advice on how to invest, he is a uni dropout with no qualifications who signs people up to his courses then provides BS info you can get for nothing on websites and he isn't the only one.

But do you actually know anyone who has been “influenced”? 

Several relations, looking for quick fixes in life. Margin loans are for experienced investors who know what they are doing, not inexperienced wannabes who get sucked into thinking they are getting the inside scoop on how to make easy money.
Buy off the plan with your superannuation and then watch your money lose value and get stuck with a lemon property because it was over valued to begin with.
But they told me they got the good oil on YouTube and a podcast from an expert...that's after wanting me to help them with  bailout loans

Come to the Territory, every 1 July we get to blow shiite up 🤣
It’s like downtown Beirut 😎
Except the injuries are usually on the minor side…

It has become pretty expensive in NT nowadays has it not?

Ahh the memories, Guy Fawkes Night. Walk down to the Milk Bar, buy enough fireworks to make Moomba look lame for about $10 and let em rip. Letter boxes, Tonka Trucks, mates back pockets were all fair game. Still got all my digits, eyesight and hearing so I couldn't have been too dangerous. They were the days.

I'm not a fan of small kids going around to random houses knocking on doors begging for lollies.
You just don't know who or what is behind the door and what danger exists with what they are given.

Fond memories! A mate of mine dropped a bunger into an empty jerrycan. Ended up with no eyelashes and a very interesting hairdo.
