I’m just a simple country girl.
No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contributions of half of its citizens.
We inhabit a language rather than a country.
One doesn’t live in a country, one lives in a language.

Aboriginal people have much to celebrate in this country’s British heritage.
Now, I know that there are some Aboriginal people who aren’t happy with Australia Day. For them it remains Invasion Day. I think a better view is the view of Noel Pearson, who has said that Aboriginal people have much to celebrate in this country’s British Heritage.
