The one fault in the Australian character - everybody wants to be a carbon copy of each other. If you want to be accepted, you have to be an
identifiable stereotype. The mold was not broken. The politicians play this up, pretending to be commoner than the common man. Bob Hawke is a good
example or the ex-chicken farmer in John Howard's government who held portfolios in transport, police and defence. Can't recall his name - might have
been John Anderson. But how does a chicken farmer qualify to be able to make decisions in law enforcement defence and transport? He watches cockerels
fighting, he defended his chickens against foxes and transported his birds to the slaughter house.
All Aussies have to be extrovert. There is no room for introverts. This is one of the reasons that booze is such a godly brew.
But for all the swaggering and no dramas and too easys, they will fall in line to be vaxxed to high hell as there is only one body with many arms.
They may have a reputation for being rugged but they are not rugged individuals. I hope that this situation will be the wake up call to break away
from the collective. The same collective response that had so many young men leave their dads' farms and hurry off to the Turkish front in WW1 only to
be mown down like wallabies.
Of course this does not apply to the great Aussie revolutionaries here on ATS.
