    Quick little fact check.

    Immigrants immigrate to developed countries. Our settlers came to Australia before “Australia” existed (was named as Australia).


    Being Australian is mateship, having a fair go, watching out for your neighbours, loving our larrikins and bogans etc

It means having on ok health system (but it could be better). It means having support for some who need it but not all yet. Unfortunately at the moment it means being in a country that could become very unsafe soon if the antics of the weekend are anything to go by. As a parent it means being in a country where there is opportunity for my child but who knows how that will change.
