With "Australia Day," just around the corner
I thought it might be interesting to see what
people think about what it means to be Australian.
I've surfed the web - and there are some interesting
articles on the subject. Some funny, some serious.
One gave two versions - both done humourously -
I've listed the link below:

http://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/what-it-means-to-be-australian

It begins with:

"Being Australian is about driving in a German car to an
Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home,
getting an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to
sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a
Japanese TV."

Then, on a more serious note we have the following:

What does it mean to you?

Don't worry Foxy, White Nationalists don't recognise Australia day, there's no need for the Anti White side to panic every year as January 26 closes in. It means nothing to us beyond the arrival of the first White slaves from the U.K, so grab your Muslim neighbours and Chinese work colleagues and diversity each other to your heart's content.

Well to begin with, I don't drink.
I also don't watch any sports,
I don't have a television,
I don't celebrate Xmas,
I don't accept government handouts (including Medicare),
I don't like being ordered around by laws and regulations,
I don't believe it right to have one regime enforced over a whole continent,
and I don't believe that everyone is equal.

No chance I'll ever be a true Australian.

Gee Yuyitsu, you must be both wealthy and healthy if you don't accept Medicare!
I am assuming that if you need to go to hospital that you go to a private one?

Foxy, my personal opinion is that you are Australian if you were born in Australia, or if you are offered, and choose to take, full Australian citizenship after migrating here.

I don't like it much when people choose to live in Australia, but don't choose citizenship, and remain a permanent resident.
That is very un-Australian.

To be an Australian means someone who is committed to this country.

OMG not another one of these WE-ARE-ALL-AUSTRALIANS-EVEN-THE-JIHADIS threads :)

'morning Yuyutsu,

If you take out the bit about government handouts you have the profile of a good Moslem! There is a place for you in about the 7th century, otherwise you will have to settle for being an anarchist in this century.

I don't believe a word of it of course but I suspect your next post will tell us all about the dark humour we all missed?
