Diversity Q & A

What does it mean to be Australian?

Lex

It means honour, safety, good fortune, privilege.  For me, being an Aboriginal man, I have a responsibility to look after this country, from the tiniest ant to the largest whale.  To me, being Australian means respect for each other and the land.  It doesn't matter how rich or poor, or where you are from, or the colour of your skin, we all drink from the same water.
