That really sucks. I do think Australian history is pretty dry and boring (no civil war or quest for independence) but I do think everyone should know the history behind their country. Even if you stay clear of the Whitlam dismissal, you should learn about the Stolen Generation and the White Australia Policy, kind of makes me ashamed of this country, but also makes me determined to stamp out the last of the racism in this country if I ever get the chance.itchcrotch said:yeah, i'm 19 and i can honestly say i have no idea what WW1 was about, accept that it was apparently started (sort of) when some guy assassinated some toher guy... as for the stolen generation, to be fair we studied it for like... a day, when kevin rudd apoligised (for not he nor anyone alive today was responsible for thus the apology meant nothing)
it can't help that the highschool i attended tied with some other highschool as worst in the ACT when they ran that test a few years ago.
