Australia in EnglishコミュのWhat about a fair go?

What do you think about the Aussie concept of "the fair go"?
Is it still alive?

BTW, "the fair go" is hard to describe, but includes:
- support for the underdog;
- a dislike of authority;
- giving everyone an equal chance to prove themselves (often, despite past bad behaviour)
- treating people with respect;
- a desire to be free of racial, political, religious or socio-economic discrimination;
- treatng people as a good person ("a good bloke"), until proven otherwise;
- not holding a grudge; and
- respect for your enemies.

Of course, such beliefs are not singularly unique to Australia.
But it is their combination and their primacy of it in Australian culture that is unique.
In general, the last thing we would forgo is "the fair go".
