with idiots," to my resume. That has got to be a marketable
skill.
Hasbeen,
What about attacks and abuse on Muslims?
Where a woman has her head scarf torn off her head. Where
an Australian politician wears a hijab to parliament. Where
people are spat on and abused on public transport?
And yours is a popular form of online rhetoric that shows
yet even more evidence of the abuse Muslims face in this
country. Positive action from our political leaders is
required to safeguard the dignity, equality, and safety
of every citizen and minority group including Muslim
Australians.
And by the way very few of us use the outmoded words like
wogs, dagos, et cetera any more. So yesterday.
Most of us like to think that Australia has come a long
way these past decades. From its humble beginnings as an obscure
case of colonial land-theft, it has become a thriving, wealthy,
and modern nation thanks to all who came and contributed.
Who would have thought, in the primitive days of balloons and
paper streamers on Christmas trees, and watery Sunday roasts,
that Australia would grow so powerful and confident in the world.
What will the next 200 years bring for Australia?
More fun wars and exciting political power struggles?
All these wonderful possibilities and more are out there.
Or it's possible that we'll all die of radiation poisoning,
or that the rising seas will swallow us up.
Whatever happens to Australia the country, we can be sure of
one thing: Australia's history, rich and colourful and
filled with heroism and drama, will live on in infinity.
And for that we can thank - all those who keep the flame of
history alive for future generations. Whether their ancestry is
from Africa, Asia, India, or or elsewhere.
They are all Australians!
