@Tarvold; your lack of awareness of the sacrifices Australians made to shield the UK from German invasion during both WW1 and WW2 is noted. Now we're doing it all over again as Australia assists NATO to wage war against Russia.
When pusch came to shove and the Japanese commenced invading Australia the UK not only deserted Australians, they even tried to commandeer our armed forces to fight against Nazi Germany - Labor saved our bacon by teaming up with the USA when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
Your belief that the UK has been a benevolent 'coloniser' is at totally odds with reality that includes white supremacist property theft, human exploitation including slavery, cultural decimation, drug-running, political and financial corruption that now includes 75% of the World's worst tax havens and especially genocide.
Europe's colonial powers sewed the seeds of human conflict, exploitation, environmental carnage and maybe even extinction of life on Earth - that's nothing to be proud of!
