Definition of heritage?

[edit]

in what sense is Kekovich a Croatian-Australian? is having a Croatian surname sufficient? 31% of people born in Australia have at least one parent who was born overseas. should they all be classified as such? -Glad he isn't of croatian heritage hp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.189.118.1 (talk) 07:02, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]


[edit]

The link citing the Ian Thorpe reference is broken. Is there any other sources that confirm what the article was saying, or is this article backed up? -- Permafrost 08:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to whoever fixed it. -- Permafrost 08:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2007 Speech

[edit]

I am quoting the speech, but I need some help filling in colloquialisms I can't quite make out. Help would be appreciated. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 13:49, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have finished the quote, so it's all fixed. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 17:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Mate, are you from Australia? ;) What makes me suspect not is that you spelt colour as color. Phar Lap was what he was talking about for your first "cannot discern". I believe the story behind that is that Phar Lap died young of abnormal circumstances with his intestines, leading people to believe he was poisoned. Funny, since he wasn't even Australian, he was a kiwi. Also "The ashes from a good lamb barbie are a lot better than the ones from a cannot discern anyway." is filled by "The ashes from a good lamb barbie are better than some pommy's burnt stump anyway", since The Ashes were first created by burning the bails (perhaps stumps) after a cricket match between England and Australia, with Australia declaring the Ashes signified the end of English cricket...or something along those lines. The line, "cannot discern, with the Australia Day Party" is "Next to the Hills Hoist, with the Australia Day Party". One of those things just about makes up every Aussie backyard. Finally, the -- beans, I believe are mung beans, but I'm not entirely sure on that. It sounds right. And mitgants is spelled "migrants" I hope all that helps. -- Permafrost 08:07, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mung Beans are confirmed. [1] Thanks for transcribing it all, by the way. -- Permafrost 08:15, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize. No, I am not from Australia, and "colour" totally slipped my mind. I'll try to remember that next time. --Kitch (Talk : Contrib) 17:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
