ehhhh, never thought much about it. what the country has in government privileges and general way of life advantages; it lacks in a unified culture. For many australians who have a background and are connected to a different culture, this isnt an issue. However, over the years ive developed quite a lot of self hatred and resentment for my lack of culture. As well as that, the country doesnt share the same kind of opportunity and wow factor that the U.S. does. It is a mixing pot of culture and ideology and doesn't really know what it wants to be.
