Thank you. That was a truly great interview. The respect and quiet intelligence in this exchange could be a blueprint for us all.
I'm a 3rd gen Australian with ancestry from all over Europe. No one in my family passed on any traditions, culture, or language from the "old" country. Some my cousins got Celtic tattoos based on things they read online but they're as Scottish as a Rastafarian. 95% of kids I played with while growing up (80s-90s) were white, as an adult most of my housemates had come from overseas. I don't recall ever meeting an indigenous Australian even though I traveled around Victoria/ Australia for the last 8 years. I've met people who thought I was American based on my accent, probably because of all the American content I watch. I do however subconsciously turn up the Aussie accent when I travel abroad. I don't watch rugby, AFL, Cricket, or the Tennis. I really don't know what it means to be Australian as a lot of wholesome traits that are used to described this sentiment I find are clichéd and don't really single out Australia. Australia's is a young nation and forever changing. I don't think Australia as a country (or maybe me) has been around long enough to have decent answer for "What does it mean to be an Australian?" and I think Flannel singlet wearing, thong throwing, VB drinking, Aussie-battler, who gives everything a go might be good answer back in the 70s I think now its just a cop out.
Hello
Congratulations 👏 Peter 🎊
Where's Simon Overland Cosgrrove?

That’s my uncle !
Buy one, get one free.....only in AUS....
Masonocracies (rule by Freemasons) are not 'democracies' or consistent with democracy. How about asking Cosgrove about eugenics and biological warfare, and the advice of Frank Macfarlane Burnet to the government and military that Australia should develop biological and chemical weapons and use them OFFENSIVELY against the civilian population of Indonesia and what he called the 'teeming hordes of Asia' and Burnet's opinion that "poverty and disease alone have kept our coloured neighbours to the north in check'?'

I think it should be investigated if the state now and then is legislated with the Bible written as a story. The word immunity (Latin immunitas, freedom from obligations to the state) comes from a religious revelation from the middle ages, most likely from a pope to become lawless, and which has since been rewritten into sovereign, absolute, and qualified immunity (legally, cannot be prosecuted for criminal act) to the governor, government, senator (origin, the Roman Empire), congress, cabinet, and Supreme Court for law decisions and actions. The political exploitation of the vital ecosystem has led to forest death, how it will affect people's economy, etc.
Furthermore I think the Democratic Party can be a consciously misleading party name with all parties belonging to the Republican Party, as current political democracy and socialism can only be about going more toward the middle, eg. the Democratic Party for law decisions and actions, even with the misleading word professional politician.
I also think the people should consider voting for a real democratic party with an independent state formation to investigate if the governor, governments, senator (origin, the Roman Empire), congress, cabinet, and Supreme Court overall may be guilty of a violation of democratic rights with misleading elections, economic crimes, violation of human rights with class society for adults and children, and serious environmental crime (force majeure).
You owe me $29,200,000 Cosgrove... 💥☠️💥
You can go & make a withdrawal at the "Hand with Many Fingers" Bank...
i can;t agree with Sir Peter's description on what makes an Australian
Why not add your view?
@@CleonaPattersoneFluentEnglish let's start with the title. Historically, with odd exception, G-G have all been soldiers. I can't see how dual or multiple passport holders are Australians. I'm not OK with diversity Unlike G-G before him, i never saw him wear his uniform as G-G
Just keep anyone with a title like Sir, Earl etc, far, far away from anyone under 16!!
@Baron Von Schulze it's not foreign
@@firstnamelastname59 Cosgrove is OK there. He is a respectable man.
Rule of thumb. If they've been knighted, keep them far away from your children .
