Forgot, or maybe are proud?

I'm about to publish a series about convicts who made good - really, really good, as in richest in the colony.

We hear a lot of bad about convicts, so this will be the other side.

Both?

Could be right. Is something similar true of Canadians?

So people, at the suggestion of my reader Ray Budge, I've added discussion questions at the end of this report, and future reports.

So folk, how has convict transportation affected the development of Australian society and attitudes?

Are we different because of our convict background?

For example, is it our convict background which makes us sceptical of authority and quick to tear down tall poppies?

What do you think? Love to hear from you.
