    The current government seems to be quite determined to pretend our British heritage isn't a large and important part of us. I don't understand it.

      As an Australian, I don't think our 'heritage' is of much consequence. Current constituency and overall stability matter more, to me.

      If you mean 'our British heritage' as in, the percentage of the Australian population with British backgrounds, then that counts towards 'current constituency' in my definition.

      This is unfair to the aboriginals, however, and that's a circle I believe is impossible to square.
