A lot of those actually:
Taipan
King Brown snake
White shark
Tiger shark
Funnel web spider
Irukandji
Box jelly fish
Kasuary(if it's monster claws manage to get a hold of your throat)

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

You forgot the blue ringed octopus (beautiful, but f***ing dangerous:

And (to an extent) the redback spider (probably only deadly if you're very young or very old):

When I spent a year in Australia, the only one I saw from these lists was a redback on the ceiling above my bed when I woke up one day. It died!

Yup - nothing's safe from a pissed aussie in a Toyota Hylux, not even a alicrocogator.

What?

I almost said that. Fosters, Australian for "cheap swill".

A police corruption judicial inquiry that necessitates the jailing of three former ministers and a police commissioner would normally ''kill you stone dead'' but in Queensland, Australia the populace are still scared to ask a police officer directions for fear that they may tell you where to go.....

And to some extent, ill mannered Dingos.

If only you non-Aussies could hear our `beloved Prime Minister's voice....You'd be looking for any of those above mentioned deadly creatures to finish you off as quick as possible to spare you the pain....Sounds like she's reading a colourful storybook to a bunch of toddlers!
