still arguing today. After all these years of
living in Australia, the identity of the country
is still something that cannot be agreed upon.
Though many seem to have their own idea of what an
Australian is, there is no clear cut view of this

feel as if they should aspire to be citizens of
the world instead. Its the phrase on everyones
