At various times and in various venues I have watched on as different social interest groups have laid claim to the contemporary high moral ground of Australian victimhood.
At a dinner party I once attended, a Jewish gentleman held forth that the defining identity conflict in Australian history was anti-semitism despite it being marginal at best.
At a function for a gay author I attended some years ago I watched on in wonder as homosexuality was cast as the defining social division of the nation despite it being almost completely irrelevant as a mover of history.
