Hi kartiya jim

There is some irony in claiming to be more Australian as a result of Aboriginal blood since Australia came about because of European colonisation and development. Prior to that the continent consisted of many different Aboriginal nations.

Hi Forrest Gumpp,

I can’t say I ever saw the use of the term ‘immigrant nation’ in that light myself. I see it more as a label that was probably introduced with good intentions at the time (possibly way back in Gough Whitlam’s day). It probably was originally intended in the sense that all human beings are immigrants but has now taken on a life of its own and has now become as you say ‘misleading terminology’.

Mistaken nonentity!! Love that!
