In Australia, we cling on to whatever culture we have. We're such a multicultural country.
And I liked pluralist Australia. I got a taste for pluralist Australia. I like, I like Australians and I can't believe that they're going to go to hell because they tell a good dirty joke, you know.

Australia has an increasingly multicultural society.
