'Why You Are Australian is an examination of our country thirty years ago and today: all the glory of its sun and water - and all the darkness of tall poppies and Cronulla. How does our land look from way over there, and from right up close?
'A treatise about what it means to be Australian right now. Honest, moving, provocative, uplifting - an exile′s story, a mother′s story, an Australian′s story.
