Australia Without Its Core Jacinta Allan’s Australia Day citizenship address was polished, upbeat, and quietly damning. Another ceremony, another round of applause, another affirmation that mass migration is not merely policy but doctrine. What was missing was any recognition that a nation is more than an intake system, and that continuity matters as much as consent. Australia was built on an Anglo-Christian civil inheritance that shaped its legal order, institutions, language, and social norms.
