This may be controversal but...

Wine of the Week:
Climbing Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 - Climbing Wines are from Orange and they have always had a reputation of being a good wine and relatively cheap for around $20. The other noticeable thing about the Climbing range are the labels that adorn each of their wines. The Cab Sav needs a swish or two in the glass to give it some air...after that, very easy drinking and great option for a mid-week (or in this case, beginning of the week) drop.

I have thought about this for a little while and I had to borrow the title from a line from my mate Skull for this one. Skull keeps for the mighty AKA 'A Reserves' and as is the case for approximately ninety percent of what they say, keepers always seem to have the best lines.
Quite frankly, I have been disturbed by the way many in this country have adopted the phrase "un-Australian". It is not so much the actual phrase itself but the fact that it is being used without a lot of thought of what it means. 
More often than not, the phrase "un-Australian" has been used to justify a particular point of view or condone particular behaviour such as:

• "oh, you can't build a muslim school in Camden because it is un-Australian"
• "you can't stop Rugby League players from having an alcoholic based bonding session because that would be un-Australian"
• "it's un-Australian not to know Don Bradman's batting average"

See, the issue that I have is that this - what is the definition of the phrase "un-Australian"? We struggle as a nation to define what it means to be Australian but we seem to be quite happy to use the phrase "un-Australian" willy-nilly!
Maybe it's just me but it really grates me that when people are looking to push a particular agenda, they are very quick to label any opposition against their stance as being "un-Australian". 
Which begs the question...what does the phrase "un-Australian" mean? Well, I had a discussion about this with my mate Roy over the weekend and he came up with a definition. He suggested that "un-Australian" was where one is not given a fair go - irrespective of who you are, where you come from, that sort of thing. Not a bad option I thought (then again, Roy is a font of wisdom). 
So I put it to you all....what does the phrase "un-Australian" mean?
