Congratulations Aussies, we have a Trumpette!
Australia was never monocultural and can never be monocultural. Before and during English colonisation there was a pre-existing culture on this continent which will continue into the future and will not be erased. As for European-descended colonisers, from the beginning the colony was split between Protestants and Catholics, English and Irish, ruling class and their enforcers and convicts and so on. And that’s just for starters. There has never been a monoculture. There is a monocle view which makes it simple not to think.
What are your favourite (or reviled) Pauline truisms (or falsisms)?
Besides which unless we do some pretty awful stuff it’s probably impossible to achieve. It’s unbelievably diverse for our population.
The kind of monoculture I’d like to see is one that priotises wages over asset growth. I suppose that would be awful for asset owners, but I’m sure they’ll be OK.
