That's pretty funny coming from someone surrounded on all sides by vast expanses of water.

I was born in Australia. Am I an Australian citizen?
Whether you are an Australian citizen by birth depends on the date of your birth.
People born in Australia on or after 20 August 1986 become Australian citizens by birth if at least one parent is an Australian citizen or a permanent resident at the time of the person’s birth.
A child born in Australia to parents who are not permanent residents or Australian citizens acquires Australian citizenship automatically on his or her 10th birthday provided the child is ordinarily resident in Australia. Children born in Australia to foreign diplomats do not acquire Australian citizenship.
