The infamous Australian 'war-cry' seems singularly appropriate now that there are three Aussies in Baddelim. We received Jonathan’s citizenship papers yesterday and to mark this important occasion, dressed him in his Australia shirt (kindly given to us by our church at Northmead before we left).
We told Jonathan that he was now Australian, but he seemed strangely unmoved by the turn of events, defaulting to his usual strategy in all situations: looking cute.
Now he won’t be sent to Christmas Island or any other random Pacific island when we return home. Nor will he be unfairly blamed for throwing other children overboard. Or locked up in a detention centre. He’s a legitimate Australian.
Welcome to Oz, kiddo. Youse is a true blue, dinky di, ridgy didge Aussie. Oi! Oi! Oi! JMB

Well, if you have to have a default strategy, looking cute certainly seems to work.
Congratulations on your approved citizenship.
Of course, there's now less chance of being illegally detained as an illegal immigrant with the change in the federal government.
Oh! The eyelashes! The eyelashes!!!
