What or who makes me proud to be australian

I was watching TV yesterday and i came across an interesting question what or who makes you proud to be Australian and it made me think for a while what would my answer be as i pondered this for a few hours i had barely came up with any answers. After the news of the past few days which we found out a recipient of the father of the year award had been having an affair for 10yrs with a woman and had a child with her (he was stripped of his title) and countless youths have been so disrespectful by desecrating war memorials, a liberal politician picking on a labor candidate because he is a Muslim and our prime minister because she is a self professed atheist because apparently he thinks our country should be run by Christians. In the midst of our country being in an election where the phrases moving forward and fair dinkum (for my international readers Aussie slang for be truthful) are repeatedly spoken i wondered how can we move forward if we aren't being truthful? not just on a national scale but on a personal scale too. We all speak some untruths now and again but do we stop to think what consequences these may have a promise made to your country, or a promise made to your family or friends that is only to be broken and leave countless numbers of people or even just one person disappointed only time will tell if our nation and people can do this.
So to answer my original question who makes me proud to be Australian i think our lady prime minister although she has yet to have enough time in power to do much she is showing men that a woman can run our country too (sisters are doing it for themselves).
The best thing that makes me proud to be Australian is whenever we have a national or international disaster Australians always band together to help out our own people or other countries this was displayed by our black Sunday fires when our fireman from all over the country came to help as well as the many thousands of people who donated clothes, money, food and accommodation to the effort. When tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, fires any disaster happens around the world our country is always there to help.
When war is declared our many brave men and women of our armed forces are always there to defend our country, putting their lives on line for a war that seems is not winnable but continues to go on our soldiers are still there putting there lives on the line everyday and for that alone they make me proud to be Australian!
So in conclusion i think it's our actions as the one or many rather than our words which show who or what makes us proud to live in this beautiful country.
