To be fair, I've read articles in news papers critiquing Australian monies sent abroad to Britain and much hearsay, but a quick search on the net for figures comes up with nothing. So, either no Australian money actually funds Britain,
or the specifics are not being made available to the public. I hope you're right though, in any case.
Excuse me? "The ones who created you"???? LOL!!!!
I can tell you who created Australia... and it sure as hell wasn't the British (like yourself) who stayed safely at home, sitting on their arses, only reading of the explorations, conquests, colonisations and pioneering ventures of the British Empire!
And as far as your claims of "you don't know the British" go... up until a few generations ago my family
was British. To claim that I don't know the British is to claim that I don't know myself.
Australia's relationship with Britain has always been close enough that we've
never lost sight or knowledge of the mother country. Even today, our largest immigrant group is the British. (In the suburb that I live in over 50% of the population was born in the UK.)
I think that incident was the final nail in the coffin really. A
very sad day for Australians. The final betrayal.
And even then, Australia has been slow to distance herself from the motherland....
