The problem with St Pats Day in Australia is 90% of people are not Irish. Leae the celebration to those who are Irish or are from Irish heritage.

If you're talking Irish heritage, around 55-60% of Melbourne would count as Irish. I think as of last census, around 20-30% claimed Irish heritage across the nation, but heaps of people who claim 'Australian' would be of Irish heritage.

But really, its just a pissup and a bit of fun, everyone should be welcome to join in!

p.s. search function noob

Hey, on Saint Patrick's Day everyone can be a little bit Irish for the day. They even celebrate the day in South Korea.

Leae the celebration to those who are Irish or are from Irish heritage.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Let's all have a pint and a smile.

Exactly, it's the one day of the year where the rest of the world is equal to us. Let 'em enjoy it.
