jen85 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Sad but doesn't sound like he is 100% Australian, he may have been born here but sounds as though he has middle eastern connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Sad but doesn't sound like he is 100% Australian, he may have been born here but sounds as though he has middle eastern connections. Not sure what that means. Would you call David Hicks an Aussie? Australian being a nationality and not a race I'd say he was if born here especially. Just not of the Anglo Saxon variety.
