I deal with a lot of asian immigrants, and when some of them say they are New Zealanders and I laugh at them, they wonder why. When I explain it to them, they seem to finally get it. Like if I got Chinese citizenship, no one on the planet would call say I'm Chinese, because I'm a white Kiwi and I look nothing like Chinese. The lines seem to be more easily blurred when it's white guy going to another white country because to look at them you can't tell where they were born.

So two of Australia’s most recent Prime Ministers aren’t Australian?

You seem to be confusing nationality with race or some other attribute. A person with Australian Citizenship is an Australian for all legal and moral purposes.
