‘Australia is not your dumping ground’: Queensland man shames 'third-world' man for throwing garbage in bush in viral video

An Australian man confronted a man dumping loads of rubbish from his car into a bush, shaming him into picking it back up again.

Joshua Partridge filmed himself approaching the man and telling him: “Australia is not your f**king dumping ground, pick your s**t up!”

He shared the video on social media with the caption: “Import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world, illegal dumping in the bushland surrounding my home and I’ll call you out every time.”

The video shows the man, wearing a red shirt and driving a silver sedan, appearing to say “sorry” after being called out. He then returned to his car boot and put the rubbish back inside. The dump looked like pieces of ripped-up furniture.

“All back in the car, now. All of it,” Partridge said as the man followed.

“Good, now take it to the f***ing dump, otherwise you’re going to the coppers you f***ing idiot,” he added once the rubbish was put back again.

The clip went viral on social media.

Australian actor Lincoln Lewis commented, “Good on you mate! Absolutely f***ing disgusting seeing this happening all too often.”

Wildlife rescuer Josh Neille also commented: “Great work legend."

“Thanks for standing up for our country brother,” said another.

In October last year, members of the Indian community were seen throwing trash into a waterway following a festival celebration in Melbourne. An Australian woman posted footage urging them to clean up and respect the land.
