While visiting family in Queensland, Mr Maffin humorously recounted his visit to Westfield Chermside, describing the largest shopping centre in the state as “unnecessarily large”.

“We were at Chermside in Brisbane, this place is unnecessarily large,” he said.

“It is so big I put my phone on lost mode just to find myself.

“Apple Maps gave up halfway through, and a little error message popped up and suggested that I make peace with my new life.

“I asked someone where the bathrooms were, they said, go past the fourth H&M, turn left at the elephant sanctuary, and if you’ve hit the working coal mine, you’ve gone too far.”

Mr Maffin went onto praise the sushi offerings in the shopping centre, describing them as “edible origami”.

“Their mall sushi is beautiful, it looks like edible origami, it’s gorgeous,” he said.

“You people eat your Sushi, right? Or is it just like table decor here?”

Mr Maffin also commented on Australian driving standards, claiming “Australians are the best worst drivers” he has ever seen.

“Australians are the best, worst drivers I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said.

“There are a lot of terrible drivers here, but they are really good at it.

“They are incredibly skilled at knowing exactly how much room they have to pass you dangerously, with the precision of a neurosurgeon.

“Honestly, it’s impressive.”
