Contents Introduction "Monocultural" vs. assimilation Who are we? References ----------------- Abstract : Is Pauline Hanson's Australian "monocultural" identity just assimilation renamed, or is it a genuine attempt to initiate a discussion around the subject of Australia's distinctive cultural identity, and the associated crisis which arose, in part, as a result of the Bondi Beach Islamic jihad massacre of 14 December 2025? In the new millennium, this identity has become as vacuous and divisive as the political leadership. The present article attempts to clearly define an Australian identity which, in part, must be adhered to by all residents in order to ensure social cohesion and a continuation of those aspects of our Western society which are considered worth preserving and protecting. It is shown that Australia can be both the multicultural society which has existed since the British invasion of 1788, and operate under a Hanson-like ...

Commentary The major problem with the Sydney Morning Herald 29 April 2026 list of the "Top 50 Australian films of all time" is that it is not that at all, and "time" apparently starts at 1971!  https://www.smh.com.au/interactive/2026/top-50-australian-movies-picks/index.html   Were there no Australian films prior to this worthy of the Top 50 listing?
