Just because someone wasn't born in Australia, doesn't mean they're not Aussie. If they chose to say that they're Aussie, they're Aussie. My dad lived in Australia for 30 yrs before he became an Australian citizen but after 5 years of living in Aus, he considered himself as Aussie as can be!

Agreed. Nationality is not determined by place of birth but by citizenship. She is Australian. End of.

"I heard her speak in an interview and her accent did not sound Australian."
What an ignorant comment, you probably think we all sound like the crocodile hunter. She sounds exactly like the average middle class, educated Australian. The so-called 'Australian accent' as portaryed in most movies belongs to those in the country, outback or working class subburbs. I have the same accent as her, as do most of my friends. My parents are also British but I am still an Aussie. -

An aussie friend of mine once claimed that the Aussie media would claim you as Australian if you took a crap in a transit lounge en route from Singapore to LA.
He was right on the money, they will, but only if you have a modicum of success. On the other hand, too much success and they will pound you into the dirt. -

I just watched her mansfield park interview on the dvd, & i didn't think she sounded completely australian either, she sounded like an australian who had lost her accent due to too much time spent in england.
btw, i'm australian. -
