Australian Identity in the poem
Australians unwelcoming
and obnoxious attitude
Demonstrates the public
are closed-minded and
stubborn
Personifies country as
'you'
Strong and negative words -
'big ugly' and 'dumb
dirty city' , contradict what
Australians believe are
positive aspects of our
identity.
Suggests that Australians
are cut off from any change
or diversity
Uses simple language to
convey her message.
