IRP Blog Post # 12

In this section, I cam across the subject of citizenship. The author explains that "until 1949 there was no such thing as Australian citizenship" (Bryson 157). I think this shows how far behind Australia is from the rest of the world. America was able to get away from the authority of Britain in teh 1700's, yet, for Australia they have been up until recently, still under the wing of Britain. Australians still pledged allegiance to Britain, and went to war in her name. Bryson talked about the Immigration Museum he visited.

This picture is of the museum Bryson visited.









This picture is of an Australia Citizenship certificate.
