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.

No, my OH still has the accent he came out with over 30 years ago - other people still see him as British. He's sees himself as Australian, and he is, he has a piece of paper to prove it.

There is really nothing that would identify anyone as Australian (except for birth certificate and accent).

 

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

Do we have to have only one identity? 

I'm an Australian.  I made a concious and considered decision to become one.  I had to pass a test (which I might add, my Australian born husband and sons might not have without studying). However, I am also a fiercly proud Kiwi and will never give that up.

 

I find it pretty easy to be both concurrently (except when the Wallabies play the ABs Woman LOL).

I`m an Australian maybe , My family on my fathers side came here on the first and second fleets, Yes one was a convict , an old robin hood highway robber.  Does this make me an Australian more than 200 years on. 

 

What makes a person an Australian , Nothing not a **bleep** thing its all smoke and mirrors we are colonised from all over the planet and are brain washed to think in a way that suits those who like to control our destiny and future on this continent.

 

Now what makes us different is a totally different question and is the one that should have been asked as no European American Asian Indian or African settler is Australian , In fact not even the Aborigines are Australian they have only been here 50,000 years.

 

Belief is not reality just because you believe your something does not make it fact. 

 

The simple truth is there are no true Australians only aliens and where all just that to this land. Forced migration a hate for those who forced it upon us (poms), fighting in wars ( because no matter where you would have been during those times you would have had to anyway), being born and bred here ,  Living here your entire life giving birth working towards  better conditions for all of us. Do these things make us Australian. simple and correct answer is NO. But many would praise you and make you think you are just so they can make you strive and get even more from you all under complete and false pretences.

The closest any of us will ever get to being a real Australian is being born here and that's as close as it will ever get.

 

And in fact if you look at it what is Australia, This land mass who says so , was it Australia before we found it , NO. So in reality anyone born here after it was named Australia could be called an Australian because the name Australia is just a given name buy settlers in the first place so is just a reference to your birth place or place you dwell not what you really are.  What we really are are aliens, every single human that stands on this land is an alien including the aborigines. They did not evolve from this land and neither did we. 

 

You are Australian buy thought feeling heart and via manipulation of your thoughts nothing else makes you an Australian and if you think you are for any other reason your just showing how short sighted you are and how the system has worked wonders on you. 

We are a multicultural stuff up that will fester till it bleeds poverty and despair like most of the rest of the world and the reality is we are catching up very very quickly.

50 more years this place will be the place to migrate from not to.

Being patriotic is all good and well as long as you know its just smoke and mirrors to brain washing you.  Just take a look at the Americans if you want to see brain washed patriotic num nuts.

Not only brain washed to be patriotic but also religious brain washed num nuts as well. And none of them are anymore American than we are Australian.  

To know what we are is to go back to where you evolved from and that all comes down to one BLACK AFRICAN WOMAN.  Not an Australian Pom American French German Greek etc.  African Black And female. Thats where we all are from regardless what you have been fooled into thinking.
