Australia Day is about mateship, PM says.
This article talks about the Prime Minister's view on how Australia Day is all about celebrating the nation's unique qualities. One example of a unique quality of Australia is: much courage was shown when Queensland was hit by a flood. The country was bound together so they were able to help out the area of Queensland, during the crisis. Ms Gillard (the Prime Minister) migrated from the United Kingdom in 1966, she goes on to talk about how her parents had serious debates about whether to become citizens of Australia or not. Aborigines dominated Australia's land and culture for thousands of years. Then the Europeans started migrating to Australia. This caused many problems whether it was disputes over land or the difference in the languages that were being spoken. After many years there are still Aboriginal cultures in Australia. The Aborigines and the Europeans have learned how to join together when a crisis comes. (pg. 645-646)
