Such a weak argument anyway!

For one, like you say, it's not even true. Even if it were true, who cares, how about we actually lead in some kind of progressive reform, instead of being a bloody backwater. Do we really want countries like the UK and USA to be our shining light of inspiration??

Politics and media over the last few decades have stunted Aussie and made us think that we cannot stand on our own too feet.
