Niether, I had a choice of two pledges;


From this time forward
I pledge my loyalty to Australia and its people,
whose democratic beliefs I share,
whose rights and liberties I respect, and
whose laws I will uphold and obey.
From this time forward, under God,
I pledge my loyalty to Australia and its people,
whose democratic beliefs I share,
whose rights and liberties I respect, and
whose laws I will uphold and obey.
Care to guess which one I chose? ;)

Congrats! Will you carry an Aussie passport now?

Gob, I can’t speech about the others, but Australia scored big when they got you, congratulations to you and Australia.
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

Many thanks again folks! :)

You were right Jim, I wanted to be as honest as possible, so I did not swear "under God", as that would be incredibly hypocritical of me.

Guin, I will be traveling on both Aus and Brit passports, I'll use which ever one gets me in the shortest queues at customs! :D
