I don't care if Australians all originally came from convicts. They are not in any way responsible for what their long past relatives did. They've built a beautiful country based on freedom and rugged individualism.

That speaks for itself.

I came across in prison ship, bound down in iron chains
I cleared the land, endured the lash
And waited for the rains
I'm a settler
I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run
A convict, then a free man
I became Australian
