Our politics don't represent us as a nation, if you are from somewhere else come spend some time in our coastal cities and you will be accepted as one of us.
Only the indigenous are Australian by heritage, the rest of us are immigrants too even if some people would object to that classification through their ignorance.
Being an immigrant doesn't make you less of an Australian, we are a country of immigrants and I hope one day our politics reflect that.
I object to being called an immigrant. I don't have any known relatives outside of Australia and I consider myself only Australian.
Everybody in the world ancestors came from somewhere else at some point in time (even the indigenous Australians). Does 10 generations of ancestors living in one country make you less of a citizen than 200?
