My nomination goes to an American lawyer who is much better known in Australia than in his home country, and has recently moved here with his family:(Former) USMC lawyer Michael "Dan" MoriThen-Major Mori - who will always be "Major Mori" to many Australians - was appointed to represent Australia's only Guantanamo Bay inmate, David Hicks. He was one of five military lawyers who had the courage to stand up to the Bush administration and challenge the legality of the entire military commission system, earning the group the 2005 American Civil Liberties Union's Roger N. Baldwin Medal of Liberty Award.The Australian government came under heavy criticism for doing the least to ensure fairness for its citizen in Guantanamo of any nation. Other allied nations, such as the British, were able to have their Guantanamo inmates released, and the United States afforded its citizens rights that were denied to David Hicks. The Howard government in Australia simply refused to do anything to ensure even the most basic rights were afforded to David Hicks. Major Mori went well beyond a minimal "representation of his client" to raise the profile of his treatment in the Australian media, attending Australia many times to speak at protest rallies, to NGOs, conduct speaking tours, etc., at great personal cost, and reputedly to the detriment of his USMC career.Major Mori was very popular with Australian citizens - if not its government - and in 2007 was awarded an honorary membership in the Australian Bar Association for his defence of David Hicks. He also received a civil justice award from the Australian Lawyers Alliance as "recognition by the legal profession of unsung heroes who, despite personal risk or sacrifice, have fought to preserve individual rights, human dignity or safety".Major Mori recently retired from the Marine Corps and has relocated to Australia to practise law in Melbourne. The citizens of Australia salute you, Dan, and we're thrilled that in addition to being an "honorary Aussie", you're now an "Aussie by residence".Source: Michael Mori

The definition of "UnAustralian" depends on the audience and on the specific accuser. Pauline Hanson's "UnAustralian" would differ from Gerry Harvey's would differ from David Hicks' would differ from Julia Gillard's would differ from the early settlers', ad infinitum.Its contemporary use suggests a derisive term that would accuse the receiving other of somehow not having the same values as the rest of the country, whatever that means, and is therefore somehow morally or ethically at fault.It's ultimately divisive and presumptuous and should have no place in contemporary society save for parody, comedy, or fanning a media flame when it's a slow news day.

Science is secondary. It does not ennoble its students, and in fact often it does the exact opposite. The follows is a quote from Norms & Nobility by David Hicks.
