Here is your chance to stand up and be counted

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: What attributes identify YOU as being Australian

There is really nothing that would identify anyone as Australian (except for birth certificate and accent). We are an amalgam of many cultures who latch on to idea that we are unique based on the stereotypes that no one actually lives up to(at least not in contemporary Australia)

Do you think only people with Australian birth certificates can identify themselves as Australians?

Don't be impatient.  They've gone off to ask Rupert (or maybe Tone, or perhaps Chrissy)

Honesty and mateship are what I identify as being Australian.

TGSE I take meticulous care in what I write, very often people jump to their interpretation of what has been written and neglect reading he actual words.

People assume the meaning, some on purpose and some out of neglect.

Oile, everyone has an agenda, if one didn't they would wander aimlessly in a daze of confusion looking for all the dropped "g"s and dropped "h"s and attempting to type cryptic one liners 🙂
