Australia is a moderate country with a few nutcases.
Even while most of Australia thought an Islamic terrorist was holding these people hostage, hundreds of Australians offered to ride public transport with people wearing religious clothing so they would feel safe being themselves.
#Illridewithyou was an example of the tolerant, decent society that Australia is. We have our extremists on all sides but they are few compared to the majority who are respectful, tolerant, diverse and multicultural. Australia is the great country it is because of the good old Aussie fair go.
