Oh yeah, notoriously racist and hostile to immigrants, gay people, trans people, Jewish people...

there was a study a few years back where they followed cohorts of immigrants in around 20 western countries
and did follow-up interviews at various points I think 5 year and 10 year from memory, asking them things like how well they felt accepted and assimilated into their new countries.
Australia was rated the highest for positive experiences at each point, out of all the countries. Despite the fact that we have our fair share of crazy racist fuckwits, it's actually quite an accepting and easy place to live and fit in. They might makes some joke about you to your face, but those same people will invite you over for a barbie, and in other countries they never do.
