(p. 46-53)'Investigations into the construction of Australianness are not new. From the 1970s, Australianness, embodied in the bronzed Anzac, has been criticised as reflecting only a limited masculine view, ignoring women, Aborigines and Australia’s multicultural society. Arguments about the validity of the characterisation were developed in response to Russell Ward’s thesis that the typical Australian need not be the average Australian, and that a valid construction of Australianness could be based on a legend which has its roots in pre-1851 Australia.'
