	Defence review threatens Australia's clout - Hugh White - Opinion
		In the big defence debate, one thing is settled.
		Australia should not and need not choose between building our military to defend the continent, or secure our neighbourhood, and sending forces to uphold our interests in distant places such as Iraq.
		This is consistent with the army's ambition to be Australia's primary strategic instrument, and with the Government's decisions to spend huge sums on air warfare destroyers and big amphibious ships, and less on new strike fighters.

	Australia - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		The Commonwealth of Australia is a constitutional monarchy: Queen Elizabeth II is the Queen of Australia, a role distinct and separate from her position as Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, and she is generally considered to be the head of state, although that term is found nowhere in the Constitution.
		Australia is the driest inhabited continent, and the flattest.
		Australia is often referred to by economists as the "world's farm", but despite this emphasis on the agriculture sector, in recent years the Australian government has been focusing on the tourism, education and technology markets.

	the 200ok weblog: money is choking australia's communications future
		In Australia, telecommunications of all kinds are a classic case.
		The thing is, people will learn even the most arcane of interfaces if their level of motivation is high enough.
		There is quite a lot of technology available in Australia, but it does seem to have gone from being a leader to a backwater.

	Australia - Internet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Template:PortalAustralia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is the sixth-largest country in the world, the only country to occupy an entire continent, and the largest in the region of Australasia/Oceania.
		Australia has a bicameral federal Parliament, comprising a Senate (the upper house) with 76 Senators, and a House of Representatives (the lower house) with 150 Members.
		During the "gold rush" of the late 19th century, the convicts and their descendants were rapidly overshadowed by hundreds of thousands of free settlers from many different countries: for example, in the 1850s about two per cent of the combined populations of Britain and Ireland emigrated to New South Wales and Victoria.

	Australia's future not nuclear: Beazley - Breaking News - National - Breaking News
		Australia should look to renewable resources and clean coal technology for its future energy needs, not nuclear power, Labor leader Kim Beazley says.
		He said there was no case for enriching uranium in Australia, ahead of the release of a government taskforce's report on an inquiry into a potential atomic energy industry.
		But the inquiry also finds Australia could quadruple the value of its uranium exports by enriching the substance before exporting it, according to media reports.

	Newsvine - "Uncovered meat" on Australia's political barbie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As much as multiculturalism has been extremely successful in Australia, the events at the beach on those few days exposed the fissures and racism which various groups, including the Liberal Party, are managing to exploit.
		When there is a group of people which hold praying five times a day in high regard, and the rest of the population doesn't share this belief, you can't see that the praying is part of the culture of the whole population as there are no or not enough shared beliefs, values and practices.
		Australia is in the grip of anti-Arab anti-Semitism and Islamophobic, xenophobic hysteria at the moment that is being fanned by irresponsible politicians on both sides of politics and by irresponsible media comentators.

		"The big test is to take it out of its own context and put it into an empty space … I suddenly thought that it was not cohesive enough, some things have to change," she says, her thumb boldly streaking a cap of white onto a windswept wave.
		Four years later, Matthews's love of Australia is evident and visceral although her artistic expression of the world remains a palpably English one.

		His book is of great value not only to students of Australia, or of history, but to anyone in the criminal justice field, law enforcement, or penology.
		This is a warped and nihilistic view of Australia - which is probably the happiest and most successful society in the world, and with an unbroken record of peaceful democracy and many great achievements.
		The only critical thing i have towards the book is a somewhat disjointed structure, the chapters are not quite chronological, more organized around a single character, usually a commander of facilities.

		In the meantime there is 70% support in Australia for tougher anti-terror laws after the details leaked here have received blanket coverage in the press complete with obligatory references to Menendez and when most Australians aren't aware of al Qaeda training having taken place on Australian soil or existing plans for implementation of that training.
		The opposition party in Australia has announced alternative laws for consideration which are far broader in criminalising incitement to violence than the government's and which are in turn narrower than the existing laws of some states.

		It is big and sparsely populated so it was probably a natural consequence that the crasser end of tourism latched on to "The Big ???" as a way of placing your part of Australia on the map.
		The Big Pineapple is one of the oldest and my first experience with this cultural phenonemon.
		The big something has become so popular in Australia that it has moved from the crass to a cultural art form, well almost.

	John Quiggin » Blog Archive » General Glut and Australia’s CAD
		General Glut turns his attention to Australia’s current account deficit, a topic that’s also being debated in a number of threads over at Stephen Kirchner’s blog.
		The ideal case for a current account deficit is one where we are attracting foreign debt or equity capital for new direct investments in the tradeable goods sector, which will, in due case, generate exports that will permit repayment of the capital invested without any requirement for adjustment elsewhere in the economy.
		Razor, it would be perfectly reasonable to aggregate Australia and NZ since the two economies are highly integrated, and similar in most respects.
