Today is Australian Citizenship Day, when we reflect on what it means to be an Australian citizen and celebrate the things that unite us.
It is a day for taking pride in our citizenship, celebrating the values that are important to us and reflecting on the rights and responsibilities of being a citizen.
Australian values are based on freedom, respect, fairness, and equality of opportunity.
Our bond as citizens has helped us create a stable, peaceful, and prosperous society.
If you can trace your connection to this land back 65,000 years or if you became an Australian citizen last week, let’s all celebrate our common citizenship and the many wonderful things about this country that we share.
