> Poms always- and I mean always- look down on Australians.

Your broad-brush assertion is simply wrong (unless you have some

It's also a bit rich to use a derogatory term ("poms") when whinging
about disrespectful attitudes of others ...

Nah ... must be exaggeration by some Pommie poster!
:P

Non-sequitur much? (Not to mention the implicit "looking down" on
the British ...)

Still, enjoy your summer over there - we had several inches of snow

stuff like that ...
