Yes, they may well not participate, heck, they may not even care, but the cultural divide/shock isn't something that is easily overcome.

@dannalboon actually, full assimilation is generally achieved with either the immigrants, or their children, the first generation here. Anyway, it seems that you don't understand what multicultural is. Futhermore, all the stats that Yakovich put up in his reply are correct, and you are just an idiot.
@paratrooper6 Wow! My initial comment to Yakovich's video was supposed to be mostly humorous but I made a mess of it and it came off sounding all nasty. I didn't disagree with the stats that Yakovich regardless of their accuracy. You then decided to call me an idiot. Are you just another on of those ignorant keyboard warriors who hide behind their computer screens or are you going to grow up? It is a fairly rhetorical question because I am sure I know the answer already.
hey mate try fight some of these scum out on the street...these lebanese gangs.... you say bring em in but have you encountered first hand with some of these imigrants???? your life being threatened by some imigrant...idnt this why my grandfathers and uncles fought in the war.... so that we may be free????? yet we live in fear of these imigrants everyday....that may be ignorances on all sides but definitly yours!
@Yakovich He's got a point about the lebanese gangs, there was a group of them that broke into a house and killed a couple of teens for no reason, with a machete!
Sure you encounter violence all around the world, but it's horrifying when people just off the boat are bringing into your own country.
The way I see it you can't descriminate against a whole group of people, there are good immigrants and bad immigrants just as there are good and bad Australians.
@0BatGirl0 We recently had a similar crime where a young fella broke into a house, hacked the occupants to death with a tomahawk and then tried to burn the place down. This bloke was a white Aussie teenager... So using the same logic we should be scared of all white Aussie teenagers?
Yeah, the line at the $20 flag tent was massive. I was looking at going to the Australian made tent because there was no line but I thought "fuck that, 10 bucks!" And that's what happend on Australia day. The End.
@Yakovich Mature. I have a medical condition. I agree with almost everything you said, but I don't appreciate the assumption I'm a lazy ass because I can't work right now. Not that I'm not trying to get to a place where I can.
Happy Australia Day everybody! I too see a lot of people wearing the flag which is great, but indeed some of those people believe it makes them MORE Australian to wear the flag or have a flag on their car. I am a proud Aussie but I don't feel a need to buy a cheap flag to show it. Today I saw a car full of young blokes stopped at a red light making monkey noises to an Asian teenager on his bicycle. I have my own views on Immigration but that kind of behaviour is disgusting.
Okay, so the first sticking point of this video for me is this: If there is a product that my family needs, and each item costs $20, OR the same product is $30 if Australian made, I'd rather pay the $60 for my whole family, that $90 and use that extra $30 I saved on feeding my family for another week. Some people just CAN'T afford to buy Australian made when it comes to the necessities of life.
@TeamKilday He is talking about flags, which aren't a necessity. Of course you need to provide properly for your family, and if that means you must get the cheaper alternative nobody would belittle you for that.
But when you go beyond necessities the grey area starts where it is doubtful of how much you care about Australia as a nation.
Not that I support any nonsensical nationalism, of course. I wouldn't ever put you down personally for buying overseas. But flags? Maybe I would.
@TeamKilday Yeah OK you poor broke thing but still, can't you see the irony in showing how proud you are of your country waving a Chinese made Aussie flag, hat, T-shirt, boxers or whatever? They must be pissing themselves laughing in Peking!
@Yakovich Actually, we are doing it tough. We HAVE to work to pay rent and own a car because our city doesn't have appropriate transport options like Asia or Europe (where's that, Australia?!), and when you have to pay $230000 in childcare (50%) of your taxable income, yes, I will choose the cheaper option when it comes to life's NECESSITIES.
when i meet someone who is racist and they say chinese and indians are assholes and don't belong here, i like to think these people have met asshole people who just happen to be chinese and Indian just like when iv met assholes who just happen to be Australian you can't discriminate against a whole race because of a few dickheads
I'm sad that you didn't mention teachers as providing a service for Australia not for the money but for the good of Australia.... especially when doctors get paid shitloads.
@katelouise88 There are some great teachers out there agreed but there are some really shit ones too, (the PE teacher who fucked his way though half our high school springs immediately to mind). To me, generally speaking, Teachers are adults who have never left school...
@Yakovich I'm not surprised by your comment, I'm used to basically all of society hating us and not respecting our profession just because they had a bad schooling experience, so meh. I'll just keep doing my job - NOT for the money and NOT for the pride (I get no pride because everyone hates teachers) but because I care for the education of young Australians.
@katelouise88 Really!? What are you seeking here? Respect? Sympathy? You remind me of when I was a Youth Worker. The uni students we used to get in as casual staff had romantic visions on how they were going to save these poor unfortunate retches who one day, after becoming successful would return to thank them for turning their lives around and inspiring them to become who they were. The kids usually tore them to pieces inside of two days mainly because they've never experienced the real world
@Yakovich Huh? I'm great at my job, I love it, I'm certainly not torn to pieces by the kids I teach, so I don't understand what you're saying? I'm not seeking respect of sympathy I just find it interesting that you didn't add teachers to the list of professions which are you believe are providing a 'service' to Australia. I thought Education was a service, not a luxury.
@katelouise88 What I was trying to say is that you appear to have an idealistic perception of what a teacher is and I suppose when you analyse it they do potentially wield great influence, good or bad. The problem is that my perception/experience isn't as positive as yours. While you ideologically questioned why teaches weren't included on the list I, on the other hand, never even considered putting them there. As for teachers are adults who've never left school... Well most of them haven't!
@Yakovich Fair enough. I don't think I have an idealistic perception of what a teacher is. I'm a teacher in an extremely low socio-economic school with extremely challenging children and it's not all rainbows and butterflies; so I certainly don't have an idealistic view but at the same time I'm proud of the positive influence that the teachers in my school have on the kinds of children and families in our school community.
@Yakovich@Yakovich Also I agree that there are some really shit teachers out there. But there are shit people in every profession. There are shit nurses and shit doctors too. What do you even mean by 'teachers are adults who have never left school?' Not only do I not understand what that means, but that's a sweeping generalisation to make about an entire profession just because there are a handful of shit ones.
Or frankly, if anyone is going to be all nationalistic, they shouldnt use paper, shouldnt read books, use firearms, shouldnt use a compass on a bush trip, shouldnt eat spaghetti, shouldnt eat ice-cream, shouldn't wear jeans .... why? because if you go back to their origins it was the Chinese who created them in the first place, not Australian or European or American
I totally wasn't expecting the swear at the end :P good video! It was shared on the anti-bogan Wordpress Facebook page btw. You'll have to google it, I can't put links in the comments, sorry.
Also, the person that made the comment about him looking like a stereotypical Aussie. That look was born out of necessity, not fashion sense. The Europeans that arrived here had to find a way of surviving in this harsh environment. And that look still survives and is practical.
The blokes you are stereotyping do contribute to Australia. They work hard 9 till 5 and pay their taxes. They live a good lifestyle and thats what contributes to the health of Australia. If you lived here you would know that the point of Australia Day is to have a great time, generally getting pissed with your mates, to get off work for a day and celebrate your lives. Most violence is in response to another's actions. Get off your high horse, ethnics aren't so pure, we are all the same.
@surfyd I love it when people say they do their bit for Australia by working 9 to 5 As if to say it was their motivation to work. Wank-wank...
Plus a generous lol to the violence is a response another's actions. Really? And what might these life and death actions be? Accidently bumping into someone in a crowed bar? Maybe looking at another blokes shiela? Fuck off... lol... When was the last time you've seen a valid blue in a pub or anywhere for that matter?
I'm a nationalist and I don't litter, steal, vandalise or get into fights with my fellow Australians on Australia day, usually not on any day for that matter. I've also donated to charity and given the choice, I always buy Australian made flags.
Maybe if you enter into youtube 'gangs of Australia', watch a few episodes of 'Gangs of Oz' or look closely at some of the footages of the London riots you might get why some people aren't big fans of immigration and multiculturalism.
"Divide an conquer" is how the old mantra goes. When you adopt an "ism" that is in it's essence based on division, you're already conquered.
Ever noticed how these gangs happen with first generation immigrants? Do you think that might have to do with a reaction to the racism they and their parents face?
Multiculturalism only fails when there are a lot of racist fucks. Go back to Europe.
@TheAussieNationalist Lol! I got news for you sunshine... Australia has always had multiculturalism. Australia's culture was created from the cultures of other countries. Australian culture IS and will continue to be a growing combination of other cultures. If you don't like multiculturalism then sorry you're living in the wrong country mate...
i agree w/ about 98% of what you said mate i think its also for those that gave their lives helping aussies and foreigners my mates in the army fought and died for australia and i fight for it too. those that whinge about its not fair should stick their face in a bed of coals and harden the fuck up and we should just be better w/ the immigrants the come in if we had none the population would in a matter of generations
immigrants come here looking for jobs to provide for there family young cunts spew over this cause they wanna see whites only over here , but i can say alot of these immigrants do more for aus than you little pricks they work hard dont litter and destroy our country and dont take things for granted most ppl behaviour i see your fore fathers would be turning in there graves to see what they have fought for . if that makes any sense
I see people spittin chips over immigrants but they seem to forget every damn one of us or an ancestors was an immigrant somewhere along the line.....well aboriginals being an exception I dunno the story there, lol.
@Yakovich Yeah, i can tell, you teaming up with the liberals ? how about we meet up? we can recreate the scene in cronulla except this time we can start in in Auburn
@OmgSeriouslyWhenDid Yeah, you love Australia ... while slaggin around on a couch scratching your arse! Goes order Chinese takeaway then say how you don't like the Chinese in Australia!
@OmgSeriouslyWhenDid And you make the Aussie motto of having a fair go seem like a joke, coz by fair go you mean for those in Australia who fit your description of Aussie: white Caucasian, you hypocritical bastard!
I love this... and this goes so well for other nations too... I lived in Australia for most of my life then went back to Philippines to pursue further education. Sadly, this false sense of nationalism has been magnified in many 3rd world countries. Here in the phils, we call it EMO-Politics. National pride based on what others have achieved is the best way to campaign here and it is almost a sure win to the presidency. Sad reality.
i noticed on a visit in april 2011 a very nationalistic situation. i couldnt sum it up until i saw this vid. when i was there i thought the old aussies were great 40+, but the younger ones were drunk, over sensitive and i was shocked at the level of drinking and heroin use. they simply dont seem to give a shit other than shouting aussie aussie aussie and drinking. as the video says, they have become over nationalistic to the point of ignorance. no rolf harris's, no clive james self mocking.
Liking this excellent vid is one thing - a bit of action is better. Get yaself a "No room for racism" car sticker, fly an Aboriginal flag if you want to tell people you want better things for Aboriginal people. They seem like small things but they add up. Silence from the people who detest this use of "national pride" as a disguise for hatred is little different, in practice, to outright support for the haters.
I'm Scottish but live in Australia and I cannot agree with this video more.
I've put in at least 1000+ hours of volunteer work since I've moved here, half these nationalistic fucks haven't even done 1000 hours of paid work in their entire lives.
It also helps me feel like I fit in more and can feel more pride in the country I live in by knowing that 'Aussie Pride' doesn't make me a trashy bogan.
Though how many of these immigrants are police, firemen, ambo's, etc, aka our heros, as alluded to at the end of the vid? Compared to how many soak up billions of our welfare?
@brittanye26 Most Chinese living in Australia work their arse off, lot more harder than others for some, unlike some dole bludgers who expect to sit on their butt and ask for government to feed them and pay for their holidays
@Mcbleh And how many are doing jobs that some Aussies are too proud to do? I can for one say there's hardly any Chinese dole bludgers living in Australia!
We have people just like this in the States. During the '08 election there was a brouhaha about Barack Obama not wearing a US flag pin on his jacket. As if it were a symbol of patriotism. I've come to suspect anyone who makes a big display either of patriotism or of piety because, almost always all it is is a display.
Excellent video mate, I myself am in the SES and i work with a great bunch of people everyday we love what we do and wouldnt have it any other way, Proud to be Australian.
i thought i was going to fucking hate this video i thought it was going to be a self hating video, but this is soo true, im so sick of violent flag wavers thinking that australia owes them, tht the world owes them, never the other way around, makes me fucking sick
whoever made this video? is so stupid they don't even know that aboriginals aren't native to Australia, get your facts right before you make erroneous videos! so that makes you full of shit!
@beano1eye Wow! I am stupid! I honestly didn't know that Aboriginals aren't Indigenous Australians. Please tell me where else in the world we would find Aboriginals communities. I even don't know what people were here BEFORE the Aboriginals. Who are the real Indigenous Australians? I'm begging you. I would really like to know.
@Yakovich maybe you could assign yourself a little task to find out where the aboriginals really came from? and you should fully research your subject, before you publish it, as it does make you look really uninformed!
@beano1eye I have briefly mentioned this in my "How Australian is Australia Day video". We all originated in Africa and the Aboriginals belong to the branch that travelled via India. They continued on into Australia about 40-60000 years ago pretty much at the same time Europe was settled. Their culture and racial distinction developed here in Australia. So Aboriginals are not native to Australia the same way every other race is not native to their country/ies, except for of course for Africans.
go on google images and type "australia day" then type "independence day" i think you'll find aussies are more proud :D + we have hot chicks, americans only have fat people
erm... and this is YOUR attempt at getting off your arse? So you're putting fellow Australians down on Australia day by calling them hypocrites? The title of this video's unclear, are you simply describing yourself here or is this intended for a wider audience?
lol I've served in the Australian regular army and special forces. Get your facts right first before you try you keyboard command crap with me cunt...
ol I've served in the Australian regular army and special forces. Get your facts right first before you try your keyboard command crap with me cunt...
@markdearl I suppose it is an attempt of sorts if it does motivate others to contribute. I do contribute in other ways but I could certainly do a lot more for our country. But on the other hand I don't run around like a drongo waving a flag or proclaiming Aussie pride while contributing absolutely nothing to this great country. Only hypocrites do that...
@jiveghost I personally believe the sexism lays in interpeting "bloke" as only referring to males. Do you also believe the term "guys" can't include females?
@Yakovich it isn't sexist to interpret bloke as meaning man - that is how the word is generally used! If you want to use gender neutral terms than do so, but don't blame me for interpreting gendered words for what they are.
I'm an aus woman & have NEVER heard an australian person refer to women as a blokes. Nor have I heard someone refer to a mixed group of men and women as blokes.
And why should women be ok with people using traditionally male terms to refer to them anyway?
@jiveghost I meant : I'm an aus woman & have NEVER heard an australian person refer to women as blokes. Nor have I heard someone refer to a mixed group of men and women as blokes.
@jiveghost Really!? Gees... Just the other day I received a phone call from a mate asking "What are you blokes up to this weekend?" As I'm the only male in the house of 3 people I immediately interpreted them meaning the entire household and not just myself.
I honestly don't know any female that would have a problem with being included in this collective and I'm a little surprised that you do.
@Yakovich ??????? lol my point was that in wider Australian culture, outside of your little friendship group or whatever, people use 'bloke' to refer to men. Myself and other commenters interpreted it that way. You then described our interpretation as sexist (lol). the absurdity of all this seems to be lost on you. hooroo!
@Yakovich It isn't unlike the former use of 'man' when referring to all humankind. It was offensive and it was used because women were not considered equals.
Likewise, I notice that people don't generally refer to men as "sheilas" unless it is intended as an insult - because morons actually see it fit to consider feminine traits a SLUR.
@jiveghost It's all a bit silly really as only an idiot wouldn't recognise the inclusion of both sexes when referring to "mankind" and I am really getting sick of our catering to idiot factor. And the reason men don't like being called a Shiela is because it is an attack on their masculinity, the main trait of a male. Not many women I know would be happy being called masculine. It's not sexist it just an acknowledgement of the difference in sexes.
The question was never whether or not it was obvious that man referred to the human species, but whether the male of the species is the default. Obviously the written word proceeded the women's rights movement LOL.
" And the reason men don't like being called a Shiela is because it is an attack on their masculinity, the main trait of a male. Not many women I know would be happy being called masculine."
thnx for paraphrasing my argument. Bloke is a masculine term. Yet you use it to describe women because it still passes as a 'default'. Sheila can never be considered default in patriarchal society bc it is feminine.
Also 'guys' is a different word with different cultural associations and uses. The singular 'Guy' still generally refers to a male.
'You guys' is generally considered gender neutral. However saying something like 'Wendy's a nice guy' (where wendy is a female) would be unusual. You'd also cause confusion by saying "Who was that guy?" when referring to wendy, especially if wendy was standing with a man. People would generally assume you were referring to the man.
I meant "wendy is a nice guy". urgh. typo party. anyway I really liked your video apart from that. Nationalism in the country is outta control. As many need to fight it as possible.
@jiveghost I used the term blokes not bloke which is different just as it is with guys and guy.
You remind me of a lady a came across at work who was carrying a large box. I held the door open for her because she obviously had her hands full. Instead of a thanks I was the recipient of a tirade of abuse because she thought I was holding the door open because she was female. Lucky she was a woman otherwise I would have smacked her in the head! (Is that sexist?)
@Yakovich meh, I've no problem with men holding doors open for me. And I know few feminists who'd dish out a tirade of abuse for such things.
(oops, i forgot that a woman trying to have any kind of discussion about gender somehow translates to "RAVING FEMINAZI OMG WTFSLKSDW!!!!!?!!@1!! HALP!!!!")
@jiveghost You have got me there as unfortunately I did momentarily leap to a similar conclusion but I also think you may have leapt to the also hasty conclusion that I'm some sort of sexist pig. I tell you what, how about you show me your tits and we'll call it quits?
I agree to a certain extent, but it is very one sided. The idealistic rhetoric of thanking those who don't 'only work for money or glory' is great, but unfair. Selflessness (in the theoretical sense) isn't always the goal, in fact it is quite often a negative quality. Nationalistic pride doesn't have to condemn those who work hard to provide services and contribute to society in that regard, not to mention taxes. The solution for 'unhealthy nationalisation' isn't to dismiss your national pride
the problem is, is that the present generation of australians adopt "the american way" of patriotism hence why many aussies are draping themselves in the aussie flag. But what's funny is that alot of them will get a tattoo of the southern cross stars but wont include the union jack nor the commonwealth star. Which poses a bit of problem if many australians dont know anything about the australian flag or the history of australia.
Brilliant! Congratulations on a very fine poem and presentation.
Banjo Patterson would have loved hearing the cadences of his "Man From Snowy River" used to such good effect. But the sentiments apply to anyone who boasts 'I'm proud to be an Anything." The most that can be said about one's birthplace, is that one was lucky to be born a this or a that. From then on it is up to the individual to do the right thing, then, and only then might pride be sparingly invoked.
@jayok99 Australia's one of the largest countries in the world; we're nowhere near our maximum carrying capacity, everyone just wants to live in the big three cities on the east coast.
I totally agree. I'm not from Australia, so I can't say one way or another. However, I believe that those who say who say that they're proud to be Aussie should prove it, not by waving an Australian flag, but actually doing what you can to help out in any way you can. Whether it's helping your neighbour, or fighting for your country.
well you should know that its an aussie tradition to get drunk with ya mates and trash a few things at least once in your life at least we ain't knifing people in the back like some of the trash we import into this country,and booniebana why should we donate even $10million to the savage haitians,look how they live no amount of money will help them,best spent helping our aboriginals, if anyone deserves help its them get them on track first then worry about the haitian

@dannalboon Australian culture? Really? What exactly is Aussie culture? Having a snag on the barbie? Having a cold beer? How is immigration preventing you from partaking in the aforementioned activities? Yes, they may well not participate, heck, they may not even care, but the cultural divide/shock isn't something that is easily overcome. Australia's identity and culture - which you would think stems from the Aboriginals - has been supressed and unappreciated since Whites set foot here.

Not that I support any nonsensical nationalism, of course. I wouldn't ever put you down personally for buying overseas. But flags? Maybe I would.

@Yakovich Actually, we are doing it tough. We HAVE to work to pay rent and own a car because our city doesn't have appropriate transport options like Asia or Europe (where's that, Australia?!), and when you have to pay $230000 in childcare (50%) of your taxable income, yes, I will choose the cheaper option when it comes to life's NECESSITIES.

@Yakovich I'm not surprised by your comment, I'm used to basically all of society hating us and not respecting our profession just because they had a bad schooling experience, so meh.

@katelouise88 Really!? What are you seeking here? Respect? Sympathy? You remind me of when I was a Youth Worker. The uni students we used to get in as casual staff had romantic visions on how they were going to save these poor unfortunate retches who one day, after becoming successful would return to thank them for turning their lives around and inspiring them to become who they were. The kids usually tore them to pieces inside of two days mainly because they've never experienced the real world
Yakovich 3 days ago
@Yakovich Huh? I'm great at my job, I love it, I'm certainly not torn to pieces by the kids I teach, so I don't understand what you're saying? I'm not seeking respect of sympathy I just find it interesting that you didn't add teachers to the list of professions which are you believe are providing a 'service' to Australia. I thought Education was a service, not a luxury.
katelouise88 3 days ago
@katelouise88 What I was trying to say is that you appear to have an idealistic perception of what a teacher is and I suppose when you analyse it they do potentially wield great influence, good or bad. The problem is that my perception/experience isn't as positive as yours. While you ideologically questioned why teaches weren't included on the list I, on the other hand, never even considered putting them there. As for teachers are adults who've never left school... Well most of them haven't!
Yakovich 3 days ago
@Yakovich Fair enough. I don't think I have an idealistic perception of what a teacher is. I'm a teacher in an extremely low socio-economic school with extremely challenging children and it's not all rainbows and butterflies; so I certainly don't have an idealistic view but at the same time I'm proud of the positive influence that the teachers in my school have on the kinds of children and families in our school community.

The blokes you are stereotyping do contribute to Australia. They work hard 9 till 5 and pay their taxes. They live a good lifestyle and thats what contributes to the health of Australia. If you lived here you would know that the point of Australia Day is to have a great time, generally getting pissed with your mates, to get off work for a day and celebrate your lives. Most violence is in response to another's actions. Get off your high horse, ethnics aren't so pure, we are all the same.

beano1eye 11 months ago
@beano1eye I have briefly mentioned this in my "How Australian is Australia Day video". We all originated in Africa and the Aboriginals belong to the branch that travelled via India. They continued on into Australia about 40-60000 years ago pretty much at the same time Europe was settled. Their culture and racial distinction developed here in Australia. So Aboriginals are not native to Australia the same way every other race is not native to their country/ies, except for of course for Africans.

Yakovich 11 months ago
@Yakovich it isn't sexist to interpret bloke as meaning man - that is how the word is generally used! If you want to use gender neutral terms than do so, but don't blame me for interpreting gendered words for what they are.
I'm an aus woman & have NEVER heard an australian person refer to women as a blokes. Nor have I heard someone refer to a mixed group of men and women as blokes.
And why should women be ok with people using traditionally male terms to refer to them anyway?

@jiveghost Really!? Gees... Just the other day I received a phone call from a mate asking "What are you blokes up to this weekend?" As I'm the only male in the house of 3 people I immediately interpreted them meaning the entire household and not just myself.
I honestly don't know any female that would have a problem with being included in this collective and I'm a little surprised that you do.

@Yakovich ??????? lol my point was that in wider Australian culture, outside of your little friendship group or whatever, people use 'bloke' to refer to men.

Yakovich 11 months ago
@Yakovich It isn't unlike the former use of 'man' when referring to all humankind. It was offensive and it was used because women were not considered equals.
Likewise, I notice that people don't generally refer to men as "sheilas" unless it is intended as an insult - because morons actually see it fit to consider feminine traits a SLUR.
jiveghost 11 months ago
@jiveghost It's all a bit silly really as only an idiot wouldn't recognise the inclusion of both sexes when referring to "mankind" and I am really getting sick of our catering to idiot factor. And the reason men don't like being called a Shiela is because it is an attack on their masculinity, the main trait of a male. Not many women I know would be happy being called masculine. It's not sexist it just an acknowledgement of the difference in sexes.
Yakovich 11 months ago
@Yakovich
i think you totally missed my point:
The question was never whether or not it was obvious that man referred to the human species, but whether the male of the species is the default. Obviously the written word proceeded the women's rights movement LOL.

@Yakovich
" And the reason men don't like being called a Shiela is because it is an attack on their masculinity, the main trait of a male. Not many women I know would be happy being called masculine."
thnx for paraphrasing my argument. Bloke is a masculine term. Yet you use it to describe women because it still passes as a 'default'. Sheila can never be considered default in patriarchal society bc it is feminine.
jiveghost 11 months ago
@Yakovich
Also 'guys' is a different word with different cultural associations and uses. The singular 'Guy' still generally refers to a male.
'You guys' is generally considered gender neutral. However saying something like 'Wendy's a nice guy' (where wendy is a female) would be unusual. You'd also cause confusion by saying "Who was that guy?" when referring to wendy, especially if wendy was standing with a man. People would generally assume you were referring to the man.

I agree to a certain extent, but it is very one sided. The idealistic rhetoric of thanking those who don't 'only work for money or glory' is great, but unfair. Selflessness (in the theoretical sense) isn't always the goal, in fact it is quite often a negative quality. Nationalistic pride doesn't have to condemn those who work hard to provide services and contribute to society in that regard, not to mention taxes. The solution for 'unhealthy nationalisation' isn't to dismiss your national pride

the problem is, is that the present generation of australians adopt "the american way" of patriotism hence why many aussies are draping themselves in the aussie flag. But what's funny is that alot of them will get a tattoo of the southern cross stars but wont include the union jack nor the commonwealth star. Which poses a bit of problem if many australians dont know anything about the australian flag or the history of australia.

Brilliant! Congratulations on a very fine poem and presentation.
Banjo Patterson would have loved hearing the cadences of his "Man From Snowy River" used to such good effect. But the sentiments apply to anyone who boasts 'I'm proud to be an Anything." The most that can be said about one's birthplace, is that one was lucky to be born a this or a that. From then on it is up to the individual to do the right thing, then, and only then might pride be sparingly invoked.
