When you disrespect Australian law, they will tell your firmly. Declare everything when you enter Australia.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you've worked in Australia, you can't get away with bad behaviour like showing up late. We take our work ethic very seriously.
Australians are very provincial in many ways. If they feel that you've used them as a stepping stone to bigger things, they resent it.
When you're asked/told to come to Canberra by your Prime Minister, in the country I grow up in, you obey that.
Sometimes when Australians go overseas, it's as though the 'Aussie' is refined out of them. I don't know why. It's never happened to me, because I'm really proud of it. I'm not embarrassed about where I'm from or who I am any more. I know who I am. I don't fit in everywhere, but I know where I do fit in.
Tolerance has to be shown by those who come to this country for a new way of life. If you are not prepared to become Australian and give this country your undivided loyalty, obey our laws, respect our culture and way of life, then I suggest you go back where you came from.
I'm definitely Australian and wouldn't have it any other way. I've been formed as an athlete in Australia.
Australia is about as far away as you can get. I like that.
Australians don't have a preconceived notion of what things have to be... we can go on a fantastic journey.
Even if you go to Australia today, it's very much like visiting a state you haven't been to.
As Australians, we see the law as inherently bad. We have a real inherent distaste for authority in our makeup.
