Whether we have convict, labourer, Irish, Chinese or Indian ancestors is only a point to take note of but should not greatly affect our current status and contribution to the country.
Everyone has a past. We can't depend solely on the glory of our ancestors to make us successful. The endurance of powerful families and scions are symbols of nepotism. Are these well earned or ill gotten wealth. In earthly human terms, material wealth that is not well managed will vanish in half a generation or less.
Australian history has shown that foundations for a strong nation hinge upon its people, how we give them opportunities for growth and a second chance to make good. Pine not for the transient things in life but walk tall knowing that only our good behaviour and achievements could truly define who and what we are.
