You know, it turns out that most of us are Aussies, and most don’t want the American way, nor the British way. Just the Aussie way. I grant that there are some who do want the American way. (Guns, racism, hatred, etc.) We Aussies should rail against those people.

You make a fair argument but in this day and age, many Aussies are living a life thta is as far removed as we were from the initials contacts with the indigines.

Australians in general do seem to think they’re automatically loved, without having to put much effort into it.
They don’t seem to notice things like the UN human rights castigations, which carry heavy weight.
