Without exception, everyone is called upon today to construct
his/her patriotic identity as a response to the supreme imperative
of our shared whiteness: 'act as if the land were initially without
owners'. For white Australia, this imperative is more primordial
than the usual formulation of the call to patriotism: 'be prepared
to sacrifice yourself for your country', since patriotic sacrifice
presupposes that one already has a country to which one is devoted.
The imperative of whiteness touches the depth of our ontology since
it is from this that the white collective springs as the creator of
the white Australian nation-state. White Australians perpetually
enter the world in so far as we faithfully obey the imperative to
act as if the land were initially without owners and it is through
this imperative that we cover over the question, 'where do you come
from?', posed to us by the defiant resistance of Indigenous
sovereign being. White Australia is therefore unavoidably
implicated in the perpetuation of the nation that must act 'as if
...' or what we call the 'hypothetical nation'.
