It is vanishingly rare that one person can change the nature of a nation. Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler. Leaders of mighty armies. They set out to change the world, and by golly, they did it.

Some can change a nation from a distance. The Ayatollah Khomeini, in exile in France, caused a revolution in Iran. King George III had a similar effect in reverse, annoying his American subjects so much that they revolted. Vladimir Putin’s clever tactics may yet result in the United States coming apart under the chaotic administration of his chosen candidate.

And some can change the world quietly, with no armies, no malice, no cunning schemes. Jesus sparked such a change. It began with words of love and caused untold suffering over the centuries.

There is one woman alive today who has already had an enormous effect, simply by doing her duty. And that is the reason that when she dies, my land of Australia will be a different country.

Australia, land without war

Australia has never known a battle. Skirmishes and raids, certainly, but nothing along the lines of the invasions, battles and wars of other lands.
