Hi Foxy,

Yes, Morrison may prove to be far more conciliatory than the alternative Dutton, who clearly demonstrates a high degree of confrontationalism with his politics. A government led by Dutton would be very confronting on all matters, aboriginals included.

We say we dodged a bullet with the government response to covid-19. If things had been different, with Dutton and his mob holding sway, that bullet would have hit us right between the eyes, like in Trumps America. I would expect nothing less from the ratbag conservative brigade.

Individual,

What exactly is an "Anglo-Australian?"

"Anglos"- are such a mixed bag - so which part of
the mix are you referring to exactly?

Foxy,

Scott Morrison might just go down in the history books as the prime minister who had to surrender Australia into the hands of the CCP.

If he really wants to show himself as a man of action I reckon he should step in and override Victoria's decision to sign up to the China's Belt and Road Initiative on the grounds that such an arrangement is not in the national interest because it puts at risk Australia's status as an inner circle ally of the US.

Mike Pompeo has already sent a warning shot to Australia that a BRI between Victoria and China would make Australia a security risk for the US with the result that the US would not be prepared to defend Australia against Chinese aggression.

Or do you think I'm overreacting and we should all join hands in a big circle with the CCP and sing Kumbaya?

Foxy,

This is off the web:

English Australians, also known as Australians of English descent or Anglo-Australians, are Australians whose ancestry originates wholly or partly in England.

I use the term to define the entire polity rather than a particular race. I could have used British Australian. Anglo-Australian is a good term to define our primary institutions etc. that we identify with as a nation. And given that we are still a British Dominion I reckon I'm pretty spot on Daiyu.

Can you suggest something else more appropriate?

Mr O,

According to the last census of 2016 - Australians
now come from 200 countries and represent more than
over 100 religions and more than 300 ethnic ancestries.

The census highlights Australia's rich cultural
identity. This wide variety of background along with the
many cultures of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
peoples has helped to create a uniquely Australian identity.

Also the proportion of migrants born in Asia has increased.
From 24% in 2001, to 33% in 2011 to 40% in 2016 and growing.
This reveals closer ties to Asia.

Foxy,

If you read my comment again you will see that I am not about defining race. I am interested in defining the institution of Australia and the best term I can think of is Anglo-Australia which basically identifies Australia as a British Dominion.

Can you offer another term for this?

Bigwen Bigwen.
