very few people in Australia have read the Australian constitution, much less take it seriously. there are downsides to this, of course. but the reason it's not taught in schools, fawned over in speeches, regarded as constitutive of 'the Australian people', is that it's actually a sub-section of a statute of the British parliament. how distressing this has been for Australian patriots.
