22 million people - and it's quite close to me. 22 million, aye right, don't be silly! On 6 September 2012 at 12:22:09 (Canberra time), the resident population of Australia is projected to be: 22,721,208 This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 31 December 2011 and assumes growth since then of: one birth every 1 minute and 47 seconds, one death every 3 minutes and 35 seconds , a net gain of one international migration every 2 minutes and 42 seconds, leading to an overall total population increase of one person every 1 minute and 32 seconds . These assumptions are consistent with figures released in Australian Demographic Statistics, December Quarter 2011 (cat. no. 3101.0). www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/Web+Pages/Population+Clock?opendocument#from-banner=LNComparatively: The estimated population of Scotland on 30 June 2011 was 5,254,800. 40,800 left Scotland to live elsewhere. 43,000 people came to live in Scotland, mostly from half starved third world nations, and the rest being English alcoholics who can't afford to buy land at home. Scotland had an unemployment rate of 27.2%. Australia's is 5.2%. Life expectancy averages in Scotland as about 70 but in the deprived 15% of the population it is 57.5 years for males and 61.9 for women. Life expectancy in Australia is 79 for men and 84 for women,. In isolated areas aboriginal life expectancy is far lower than the national average, but in urban areas aboriginal life expectancy is still significantly higher than that of a deprived urban Scot. So...

Yeah but what a life! 79 Years of clinging to the slightly moister edges of a sun baked rock in the middle of nowhere, gasping for every breath of hot searing air, can't find any shade, because it hasn't been invented yet, and even if it had, everything a half degree cooler would be alive and poisonous spiders, deadly snakes, and fucking dinosaur sized crocs. .

As opposed to life in England. Rotting from the ground up due to foot fungal infections caused by the constant damp, death hastened by the moist chill promoted rheumatism, a hacking cough and paupered through the need for raincoats and umbrellas. Malnourished thanks to a diet rich in egg, chips and brown sauce and the greatest of all horrors....fucking room temp beer!! eta:

Australia brought you...Gong.
Scotland brought you The Bay City Rollers.
England brought us smallpox, syphilis, genocide and a corrupt police culture to rule over a penal colony with indentured slave labour to make the few wealthy.
And today their biggest exports are the soccer hooligan and Eurotrash slags.

VENOMOUS. There's a huge distinction between venomous and poisonous,and people that confuse the twain vex me. Poisonous as in, if you eat the fuckers, they make you ill. Christ, just thinking about those blind Huntsman spiders makes me feel queasy. Even the French don't eat spiders, and they'll eat anything that can't crawl, hop, or fly out of a bucket. A Venom is a compound of neuro-toxic enzymes that make you nice and digestible to predators that find it difficult to chew their food. And Australia is spilling over with such creatures. The point I was making is that Australia has a very anti-human bio-political bias. I don't know the exact statistics, but around 98.527% of it's native Fauna spend much of their lives actively seeking to kill humans, using venom injecting hyperdermic needles, camoflage, stealth, and ever replenishing razor sharp teeth. And it's geo-tropical location lends itself well to isolating human settlement to a 20 mile strip of coastal temeperate zone, where they have arid baking, spidery, snakey desert on one side, and a Sea swimming with Box Jellies, Great Whites, Tiger and Bull Sharks, Ringed Octopus, and Saltwater Crocs on the other. And to add insult to life threatening injury, much of this "Goldilocks zone" is infested with roaming serial killers, so if the wildlife doesn't get you, the natives will. And there are packs of Dingos, who'll pull a man down like a three legged Springbok if they get the slightest chance.

It's driven all logical thought from his head. There there Beastie. It's not as dangerous as you think. Here's a topographical guide to the only things you need to really worry about here. (I love this map...keeps the riff raff from cluttering up the joint.)

Ah, but what about the guy I was crushing on? Paul Keating? Can't be all that bad there, Stormi! Keating has retired to a lovely house in Sydney where he collects French Empire clocks and occasionally emerges to point out how little any of them resemble him in wit, principle or competency. He had a huge say on the war and what a bollocks it was. And it can be that bad here. It's a police state with a high disposable income and good views.

Its not the paradise I envisioned. But nothing surprises me these days. I put some info about the middle east up in the front roll, they get angry at me and jump at ya like wolf spiders. I just wanted to give them something to talk about. I will never give them political info again. My mistake.
