Ping Pong Poms It’s the controversial story about the love/hate relationship between Aussies and Poms. Last year 56,000 Poms came to Australia to live, and more than 30,000 went home – desperate to leave ‘boring’ Australia behind. They complained the sun is too hot and the beach is too sandy. But the fact some become Australian citizens before they left, in case they changed their minds, sparked much debate.
