but its a good thing, for us to really take a interest you must:either be a threat to us, have been a threat,we fought a war in your country, or have horrible problems.

Yeh because in my great grandparents time, Australia was just starting out as a newly formed country, so there's alot of hard work involved to get a country up and running, I think that's why people don't realise just how much the old generations in the past 100 years have worked in Australia. I don't know, in America, your civilsation was already established, so youse jus thad to maintain it, we had to build ours up.
I reckon if people from overseas knew how much hard work Australians have had to do since the turn of the century, they'd see my point more clearly.
