yes, australian's are proud of their criminal ancestors. mind you, most criminals sent to australia were guilty of petty crimes like stealing a loaf of bread to feed their starving family.
and we celebrate the colourful characters who broke out of prison against all odds, and even some who went around robbing and then killing police who were hunting them down. I guess that was fair, it's not like the police were going to arrest him, they were trying to kill him. kill or be killed.
but if you did that today, well, you're a terroristit's funny how things change.
