In a pub in Sydney, young professionals Helen Phelps and Zen Alex discuss some of the issues at play in the upcoming referendum on whether Britain should remain in the European Union.
Ms Phelps said she believed Britain would be stronger if it remained part of Europe.
"It's really important to be part of Europe," she said.
"I think working on a global platform which we are, we're all in a global economy. I just think Britain is so much stronger with these alliances."

"I just don't think its the right way - without being too cheesy - to achieve world peace and prosperity, by closing your borders and telling everyone to do that," Mr Alex said.
However, among the British expats in Australia voting to leave is Mark Neeham, who has previously worked for the British conservative party, the Tories, and the Liberal Party in Australia.
He said the "gradual movement of power and sovereignty from the UK to Brussels" was behind his vote.
"There's a crisis in Europe," he said.
"There's high unemployment. There's high debt. The United Kingdom cannot control who comes in and out of its own borders."
Professor Simon Tormey, head of the school of social and political sciences at the University of Sydney, said the vote could go down to the wire.
"It's so close that the polls are very much in doubt about where this is going to go," he said.
"Will those of Australian-British heritage who vote in this country make a difference? It certainly will."
He said the level of engagement amongst eligible voters in Australia varied.
"Some people when they leave, they kind of wipe their hands and say, 'Well thank God for that, I'm starting again, starting afresh', and Europe seems a long way away from that perspective," Professor Tormey said.
"But other people, as we know, maintain close contact with home and they think a lot about what life is like back in the UK."
British holiday-makers, who flocked to Sydney's Bondi beach despite the chilly winter air, had views on the topic.
Sam Currathers, from London, registered for a proxy vote, and was sending his Mum to vote for him.
"I voted for Brexit, and I'm voting because I don't think there's anything that Britain can't do outside the EU that it can do inside the EU," he said.
Alex from Hull said he voted to stay in the EU because "surely everyone's stronger together", while Reece Bathorp, 28, from Leicester said he had little interest in the vote.
"I've never really voted in my life... I just stay out of it," he said.
"I've just been concentrating on getting over here, and working. I might not even go back. I quite like it here."
