| 2s | ah patriotism in Australia now there's a |
|---|---|
| 5s | topic that says nuances fine |
| 8s | wine you see in Australia our approach |
| 11s | to patriotism is a bit like our approach |
| 13s | to life laidback understated and with a |
| 18s | healthy dose of |
| 20s | self-deprecation it's a stark contrast |
| 22s | to the more overt expressions of |
| 24s | national pride you might find in |
| 26s | countries like |
| 28s | America in Australia flying a flag |
| 31s | outside your home isn't as common as it |
| 33s | is in some parts of the world say |
| 36s | America over there it's not unusual to |
| 39s | see the stars and stripes proudly |
| 41s | displayed on every other porch here |
| 45s | flying the Aussie flag in your front |
| 46s | yard is often seen as a bit on the |
| 50s | nose but why is that it's not that we're |
| 53s | not proud of our country far from it |
| 56s | it's more about how we express that |
| 59s | Pride Australians tend to express |
| 62s | patriotism in subtler ways it might be |
| 65s | through our love for sports cheering on |
| 68s | the Aussie team during the cricket or |
| 70s | the |
| 71s | Olympics or it might be in our fondness |
| 73s | for local products giving a nod to |
| 76s | Aussie made |
| 78s | Goods we show love for our country |
| 80s | through actions like Community volunteer |
| 83s | work or helping out a mate rather than |
| 86s | through overt |
| 88s | symbols there's also a cultural aspect |
| 91s | of this Australia with its history as a |
| 94s | British colony and its diverse |
| 97s | population has a complex relationship |
| 99s | with |
| 100s | nationalism for some over displays of |
| 103s | patriotism like flying a flag can feel a |
| 106s | bit exclusionary a bit too reminiscent |
| 109s | of a past where not everyone was |
| 111s | included in The Narrative of Aussie |
| 114s | pride in recent years there's been more |
| 117s | awareness and conversation around what |
| 119s | it means to to be Australian especially |
| 122s | considering our indigenous history and |
| 124s | Multicultural |
| 126s | present it's interesting to note that on |
| 129s | certain days like Australia Day or Anzac |
| 132s | day you'll see a surge of national |
| 134s | symbols Flags included but even then |
| 138s | there's often a reflective almost somber |
| 141s | tone to these |
| 143s | commemorations it's less about chest |
| 145s | thumping pride and more about gratitude |
| 148s | and |
| 149s | Remembrance |
| 151s | and then there's the classic Aussie |
| 153s | aversion to anything that seems overly |
| 156s | showy or boastful in Australia there's a |
| 160s | cultural norm called The Tall poppy |
| 163s | syndrome it's this idea that you |
| 165s | shouldn't make too much of a fuss about |
| 167s | your achievements or your love for your |
| 169s | country being too loud or too flashy |
| 173s | about your patriotism can come across as |
| 175s | a bit un |
| 176s | Australian it's like we're all in this |
| 178s | together and no one should act like |
| 180s | they're better than anyone else even in |
| 183s | their love for the |
| 185s | country this isn't to say the |
| 187s | Australians aren't patriotic we are in |
| 190s | our own way our patriotism is in our |
| 193s | appreciation for the Aussie lifestyle |
| 196s | beaches the bush the laidback |
| 199s | attitude it's in our love for oie humor |
| 202s | our resilience in the face of adversity |
| 206s | and our willingness to give everyone a |
| 208s | fair go it's just we don't feel the need |
| 211s | to shout it from the rooftops or in this |
| 214s | case flag |
| 216s | Poes so in Australia while we might not |
| 220s | fly the flag as prominently or as often |
| 222s | as our American friends our patriotism |
| 225s | runs deep it's just more understated |
| 229s | more about a quiet confidence in who we |
| 231s | are and what we stand for it's a love |
| 234s | for Australia that's as vast and varied |
| 236s | as the land |
| 238s | itself |
