I'm proud to be an Aussie

I’m no fan of Australian politicians from either party. However, it’s a tough job to stop the flow of illegal immigrants, so whatever system works is fine by me.

So, Mr Brown, although I acknowledge and applaud your military service record, perhaps you should stick to self-promotion through your constant stream of letters to the press, and, for the benefit of those like myself who appreciated growing up in Australia, try not to knock the wonderful country you grew up in. 

Who knows, with a bit of luck you might learn how to quietly wallow in the shame you feel at being an Aussie.
