Cate Blanchett, like most Australians, thinks she’s middle class. An expert on class explains why that matters (theconversation.com)

As an aside to this article: I have seen some people defending Blanchett's comments, arguing that she is indeed middle class in an Australian context because of our link to the UK. They argued that in the UK, Blanchett would be considered middle class as she is neither nobility/landed gentry, nor working class, and that this same definition applies in Australia. I am curious what other Australians make of this argument.
