There are some damn fine people in Australia, no doubt about it. Indeed, some of the best in the world (we still have one the world's best education systems, I think that has a lot to do with it).
But as a whole the place isn't as worldly wise as it often tries to make out sometimes. The East Timor thing really frustrates me. I reckon everyone in Australia should come over to do one year here as a volunteer at some stage.
That way we could at least be making some attempt at repaying the moral debt our nation owes these people.
