All the times Tucker Carlson laughed at Australia - as he reveals what is wrong with our country and says what many of us are thinking

US political commentator and journalist Tucker Carlson found plenty to laugh about while in Australia.

Carlson's distinctive giggle was sprinkled liberally throughout his speeches during a two-and-a-half-week speaking tour of major Australian capital cities.

In his Monday Melbourne appearance did not take long for Carlson to find the funny side of being in Australia with what could have been a shot at the national accent.

'I love the Australian shouting. I don't know anything that you are saying, but I know that I would agree,' he said with a giggle.

Carlson said he had fallen in love with Australia and particularly Australian cities, which he said 'worked' as opposed to the ones in the US.

He said he would like to live in Australia, but one major hurdle was the country's runaway cost of living .

'I would live here if I could afford it, which I can't,' he said laughing.

Previously in Sydney Carlson he was looking up house prices because he was considering buying property in Australia - but soon realised even someone with his bank balance could not realistically afford a home Down Under.

'It was so much more than I can afford and I have a decent job,' he told the crowd.

'How does anybody live here?'

He said when he asked the question to a Sydney local, he was told many had left the city altogether or ended up homeless .

'I said, "That sounds like a crisis,"' Carlson added.

'Why is it happening? Immigration. There's only one reason, and that's the reason.

'But nobody wants to say it like that because it sounds like an attack on immigrants. And that's how they get you to shut up. They say, "Shut up, racist."'

Carlson said he generally supported immigration, but prices would rapidly rise if there wasn't enough housing for a growing population.

'If it becomes too expensive for your children to buy a house in the country they were born in, you're erased, that's it. Your line ends and that's what's happening,' he said.

'If your children can't afford a house here, then you have one person to blame, and that's the people that run your government.'

Talking about Australian political parties during his Melbourne address, he said he couldn't understand that none of the Labor politicians were actually labourers with trades.

'There's no actual labour in the leadership of the Labor party, none of them have had a job. They're all just parasites on the taxpayer,' he said with an exaggerated chuckle.

'The laziest people in the country call themselves the Labor party.'

Carlson was also amused at what he called the 'endless hectoring' from politicians and bureaucrats and used buying cigarettes as an example.

'What the hell is on your cigarettes? I don't even want to smoke them looking at that,' he said with a smile.

'You're making me not want to smoke. Every pack had like a rotted tongue on it or something.

'I'm an adult man who pays his taxes I should be allowed to, you can't smoke a Marlborough without being lectured?'

He also thought Australia's high energy prices were laughable given Australia has vast deposits of national resources.

He said the valuable commodities were being used to produce renewables, which 'we then buy back' from China.

'Whoever thought of that hates you,' Carlson said.

Carlson ridiculed Australia for selling its natural resources 'to a far-away country to make something that doesn't work and pay extra for it'.

'That is prima facie insane. The fact that you have high energy costs is reason enough for you to get rid of the people that are running your country,' he said.

Later, he said with a smirk that China did not believe in green energy 'for one second' and were buying Australian coal to make renewable energy infrastructure and say 'the whites want windfarms, let's make some more"'.

Carlson was impressed by Australia's many advantages of space, ample resources, relative lack of poverty and an education population.

He thought Australia should be 'running the world', and, tongue in cheek, suggested that getting nuclear weapons would 'make that point clear'.

'Probably not going to do that, you don't even have handguns, you probably aren't buying nukes but you should get both,' he said with a slight chuckle to himself over the different gun rights approaches of Australia and the US.

During his appearances the political commentator also brought up the history of Australia and Welcome to Country ceremonies, which show respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

He told those in the room they 'had nothing to apologise for - at all' when it came to the 'sins' of their ancestors, referring to the white settlers.

'And yet at every turn they're making you apologise,' he said.

'I have never seen a society more under attack than the one you're living in now and for less justification.

'Every time a commercial airline lands, every time any kind of ceremony opens, they send you the message that you're on someone else's land.

He also mocked the ABC and the priorities of its reporting.

'I watched your ABC this morning in my hotel room for about 20 minutes, until I looked around for a vomit bag.

'It was one of the most grotesque... I couldn't even believe it was real.'

'I sympathise with you guys who work for these (media) companies which are truly corrupt, and you sort of know that but you don't want to think about it because you've got kids and a mortgage.

'I get it, I've been there,' he told the crowd.

'But let's just be honest, everyone else knows what it is, everyone else knows how corrupt you are, and so there's a reason they have contempt for you.'

Carlson also found the funny side in the local pride of having convict ancestors.

'And every time I ask someone why were your ancestors sent here, it's always the same answer, you know what it is?' he asked.

'Stealing a loaf of bread. I don't believe that for a second. It was like armed robbery, but they're like oh yeah stealing a loaf of bread.'
