AN expert on branding says Australia is viewed as the dumb blonde of the world because we're a country which is attractive, but shallow and unintelligent.
Simon Anhalt, who has advised more than 40 national governments on national identity and reputation, has told The Age newspaper that our past tourism campaigns, such as Lara Bingle's Where the Bloody Hell Are You? series and Paul Hogan's "shrimp on the barbie", have led to a view of Australia as a country which is decorative, but not very useful.

But he says we're ranked best in the world for natural beauty and as a place to visit, if money isn't a problem.

Seems fair, and according to the poll many Orstrayians agree.

How should Australia go about fixing this?
Do we need to?

Fuck it. The world may perceive Australia that way, but to be honest I couldn't really care. You can brand any country with one-liners and generalisations.

You could be honest and have your marketing campaign let Americans know that your women will spread for anyone with a Yank accent

It's also the least stable and first to go south when a recession occurs. There's about a billion things that are a better basis for an economy.
