How would you define Australian nationalidentity?

Question

are there any austrailan films which confirm and/or challenge certain ideas about Australian national identity?

And... how would you define australian national identity?

Answer 1

For me (an Australian) I would define the national identity as multicultual.

We started with the true Australians, the Aborigines, then the English sent their convicts. Around the 1950s many Italians, Greeks, Chinese and a sprinkling of other Europeans settled here. In more recent years we have seen a great number of Asian migrants emigrating to Australia.

This mix has introduced introducted a multicultural society through things like food, cultural and religion.

I think our life style is a cross between the English and American way of life but we are quite layed back in our approach to life.
