The Australian Identity Debate – A Different Lens

The Australian Identity Debate – A Different Lens

What is Australia’s national identity? As the country evolves from its European settlement
roots, new generations of immigrants are arriving from Asia, changing our cultural make-up.
Meanwhile, Indigenous Australians still live with a sense of pain, particularly surrounding
Australia Day and the lack of true reconciliation. These are just some of the issues making us
question who we are and what we stand for.

This episode of ‘A Different Lens’ investigates Australia’s ever-evolving national character,
how divisions are holding us back, and what we can do to work together and move forward
as one.
