Today
We are a commonwealth still, and our bond with england has gotten stronger. We have many connections with other countries and are a multicultural country. Australia is a new country but has grown quickly into a safe and strong country. We have food from every where in the world and tourist find Australia a great place to get away. Our main language is English, but we immigrants from everywhere that there are a lot of different languages -
Perspectives of Today Tony Abbott
Tony Abbott- What we did for England will also and truly be phenomenal. They respect us as much as we respect them, after destroying the Turks our country has been changed since. After doing what we needed to do to earn England’s trust, I think that this trust will last for a while. Today is different from everyday, but the year will be the same as the year we fought for England side by side. -
Perspectives of Today Me
Ciara- Ever since we have joined the Commonwealth it has been different for Australia. We have overcome most obstacles together and most things have originated from England. Today, tomorrow and always we will have a strong bond with England. World War One, England and their allied needed help from us, and we accepted. Many men died in the war, so many lives wasted for no reason, I believed that there was no reason for this, but without the war, Australia and England wouldn’t have a strong bond. -
Perspectives of Today The Queen
The Queen- Australia and England have an amazing connection between each other and it reminds me of the time when Mary was Queen, World War One made a huge difference for our relationship. In the future I know we will overcome our differences and become even closer. Australia has changed a lot here in England and we have changed many things there too, without Australia by our side, I don’t know what we would have become today. No one will know what will happen to us in the future, I can’t wait!
