And when the Scottish want Independence from the English - they too turn out in their primitive kilted attire and other 'old' cultural aspects for identity.
What do Whiteys do for identity here but wave flags with thongs and clothes with the flag on them. Pretty lame.
Stole Pavlova from the Kiwis, stole the Slough Hat design from the French.
There is only British, American and other Multi-Cultural aspects from overseas to identify with beyond the Aborigine presence. There is no true 'independent' Australian identity beyond chest beating hot air and yelling "Oi". Even the words "Fair Dinkum" is a Chinese saying here.
Until this nation pays the price to 'all' - Aborigines, British, America, etc - and truly stands 'independent', you all just have to admit that you are anything but Australian by default only.

BS we did.....the Pav is Aussie.
The "beret" is not a slouch hat.
Jesus wept ..... Kiwis stole the Chinese gooseberry & renamed it Kiwi fruit.
Now they import Chinese vegetables & repackage them as a products made in New Zealand.
Couldn't lie straight in bed.
re: Fair Dinkum being Chinese. You shouldn't tell so many porkies.
Quote:It originates in the British dialects of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire, where it meant 'work', or 'a due share of work'. So if you did your fair dinkum, it meant you did your fair share of the work. Nowadays, it means true, honest and genuine and is often used accordingly.
That shows that you're not fair dinkum because you've never done your fair share of anything.... scab.
