I hope I speak for lots of people .........Please show use these old stories again, remind us of our stories and our lifestyle back when this show started. Remind us of who we are and the heart and guts of Australians, before we completely lost and taken over by influences from other countries. We are special and have a unique way of dealing with things. You’ve got the platform to be able to help us remember who we are. Please consider my request. Thank you.
