I think we do have our own culture otherwise we would still be a clone of Britain. We used to be but because of migration we are drifting further away from that which is a beautiful thing.
I mean this in the most nicest way possible. Just because you feel emptiness it doesn’t mean everybody else does. I’m an optimist and I’m gonna find the good in as much as I can.
I am constantly aware that I work in a bubble of very smart, talented and fairly-paid people. That the people I work with aren’t a slice of “average” Australia. But within that bubble of IT workers, we absolutely have that global cultural influence CEO was speaking about.
Then there’s the kids. They go to school in a mix of kids from all over. Its a great equaliser. They don’t know where their mates ‘are from’, almost everyone was born here. I get it from their names.
It’s easy to look at the news and think our influences are all US/UK. But I think as each generation goes by, they’ll be less central to what makes an Australian.
What emerges from that mix? I’m keen to see it. What we already have is clearly recognised by the British themselves as something distinctly separate from their culture.

You need to find your Ikigai (life purpose).
