Australia day

As we approach Australia Day, it's that time again to see the usual jingoistic articles and photos of drunken blond haired cultureless teenagers draped in the Australian flag chanting oi oi oi telling us how "proud" they are to be Australian.
Well I'll tell what I'm proud of this Australia Day, I'm proud of;
universal health insurance
quality public schools
compulsory voting
having a national broadcaster
While I'm certainly NOT proud that we invaded a peaceful peoples and virtually made them extinct,
that we have (or are) fighting others colonial wars
that we have a head of state who is hereditary (and not even Australian)
that we have a "Queen's birthday" public holiday (which is not even on her birthday)
that we demonise the less fortunate (ie refugees) while espouting the Aussie fair go.
Australia is a country with alot going for it, but constitutional maturity is not our strongest virtue. Perhaps when (or if?) we become a Republic that has acknowledged our ancestor's mistakes, I'll have something to be proud of on Australia Day.
