** And telling a very justifiably pissed-off woman "Must be that time of the month" is ''not a good idea!'' Particularly when she's got a fully-loaded AK assault rifle in her hands!

* MoralDissonance: Ellie rips Chris a new one for falling asleep on watch, which risked all of their lives, and tells him to shape up and be more responsible. Later, Ellie and Fi [[spoiler:accidentally turn off the radio, talk about boys instead of keeping watch, and both forgot to bring the lighter to set off the petrol-tanker bomb. This nearly gets them both killed, forces Robyn to break her pacifist view, and gets Corrie shot. Ironically, ''Chris'' is the one that sets off the bomb.]]

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: When Ellie scores her first desperate kills with her makeshift gas canister bomb, she notes that the scorched soldier lying before her must've been about her age, and it's quite likely she was no more willing to fight this war than Ellie is.

* AbusiveParent: Implied that Fi's mother is an emotionally abusive version of this. She sneers in disbelief when fI asks her if she can go camping in the bush for the weekend, and seems to have a hard time imagining that (although to be fair Fi is a bit of a FishOutOfWater there), and later, Fi also mentions that her mom told her she wasn't pretty enough to compete in a beauty contest that she herself had won while a high-schooler.

justifying edit and unfortunate implications need citations


* YellowPeril: The invaders, though belonging to no obvious country (in fact a coalition in the movie), appear to be Asian in origin. Probably justified, despite any UnfortunateImplications, given the proximity of Australia to East Asia and thus the likely source of any invasion. Softening this, Lee is an Asian Australian who fights along with the rest, and we see other Asian Australians in the concentration camp.

* ZergRush: A radio broadcast mentions that the Coalition invaded Australia with about half a million men-they landed via cargo planes and ships. For comparison: the Australian military numbers less than 60,000 active troops. It's not entirely clear how those fared against the invaders, but the fact that the Coalition has troops to spare for seizing the protagonists' small rural hometown hints at a CurbStompBattle against Australia. In an earlier scene they watch a single Australian Air Force fighter being chased and then destroyed by three of the enemy, likely hinting at the disparity with numbers. However, in a real war the US would intervene to help Australia due to a treaty between them.
