Australian nationalism

Australian nationalism asserts that the Australians are a nation and promotes the national and cultural unity of Australia.

Australian nationalism has a history dating back to the late 19th century as Australia gradually developed a distinct culture and identity from that of Britain, beginning to view itself as a unique and separate entity and not simply an extension or a derivation of British culture and identity.

Nationalism in the present day often refers to the politics of right-wing political parties.
