The romantic image of Australians is as laid-back, relaxed, charming larrikins. But is this true? Was it ever true? Have we changed and if so why? We will look at the research to find out who we really are. There are many who believe Australia has become a nanny state, full or rules, that we are conservative, too cautious, rule follows not vanguards. To find out the truth, we need to look at the facts. As diverse as we are, we have a dominant personality that reflects how we live, the governments that rule us and the lives that we chose to lead.
