I am getting sick of journalists confusing climate change with the hole in the ozone layer. The hole in the ozone layer is caused by CFC's converting O3 into O2. This allows more UV light though the atmosphear causing more sunburn and skin cancer. This issue was adressed in the 1990's by the Montrial Protocol where CFC's were banned accross the world. The hole size peaked a couple of years ago, the damage is now slowly begining to self repair.
Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases. These are gases that absorb and reimit infa-red (IR) radiation. World leaders tried to adress this situation in Kyoto and other meetings. The meetings fell through and global agreement is not yet at a point to offer a real reation or solution. These gases do not deplete ozone. They cause a warming of the troposhear (the lowest leval of the atmospher).
It is true that most Australians get these two atmospheric problems mixed up. I put it down to confused journalism. Please check your facts before stating them. |

Why do people from Australia loves horse racing? Is it a way of relaxation or a tradition? I am just curious of this.
Yeah, I recon that I am a member also of tipping site for horse racing at Championpicks: http://www.championpicks.com.au but I just signed up during the melbourne cup for me to win also since I am just a beginner. It's true that they have an excellent service and tips which helps me win every game, but was just curious why Aussies really like horse racing.Any ideas? |

Why do Australia loves horse racing? Most of them, but not all of them I assume. They have Melbourne Cup as well. Is a tradition of Aussies or just of relaxing?
And because of the cup, I happen to sign up as a member of Championpicks: http://www.championpicks.com.au . A horse racing tip site. Well, I agree that they have an excellent tips. I win most of the time, but little curious after the cup's day on why we should have a cup's day or why Aussie's are engaging horse racing. |

Maralt, I find it amazing that you are Australian or live in Australia and believe that Sydney is the capital. Canberra is the capital of Australia and it is located in the Australian Capital Territory or ACT. It became the capital because of a dispute between Sydney and Melbourne, who were both vying for that position. After Federation in 1901, a number of locations were considered as the sites for the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia. Canberra was chosen in 1908, because it lay between Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is the capital of the state of New South Wales and not Australia. |

Just thought I would try to be of some assistance. The Australian Bureau of Statistics has a very large amount of the information to answers the questions on this page. Its address is http://www.abs.gov.au/. Of particular interest for some may be the social trends on the left hand side of the home page. But most of it is a good read for trends and statistics. They also have a range of helpful links. |

In Australia, most people follow the religion of Grigindu; it is divided 72 castes and then into 7 grades. Castes vary according to where you live, and how local populations value your particular trade. The here ford cow and the Argentinian wombat are sacred animals, that all Australians respect. People who show disrespect to these animals are stoned, the stones being distributed by the police. If you give bribes to the police you get bigger stones. Some Australians are not Grigindus, but are still sometimes tolerated, and only discriminated when they worship strange or weird religions publicly, or expect to talk or eat with Grigindus. |

There is a huge disparity between Aboriginal Australians and 'white Australians'. The former have a lifespan some 20 years poorer than the latter. As with most ancient people thrust into modern life, modern Aborigines can't live traditional lives nor can they function on the whole in a modern society. The usual problems of alcohol and drug abuse (and consequential sexual abuse) follows. The huge area of Australia (most of it desert) means health care for remote (Aboriginal) communities is happenstance, so minor ailments such as eye infections etc that could be solved easier in townships has become a major concern. Attempts to assist aboriginal juveniles escape alcoholic parents and remote communities (with little schooling and work opportunities) were made mid last century and many children received good eduction and have gone on to become positive role models for Aboriginal Australians. Unfortunately there are those who thought that those children should have been left with drunken parents and have labeled that opportunity as the 'stolen generation'. Aboriginal Australians remain an open question in modern Australia: throwing money at them has't worked. Reluctant to work but content to be given welfare benefits (yet scathing of the population that supplies it) it remains an unsolved issue in modern Australia. Australia prides itself on its multicultural origins; it just can't comprehend how the original occupants don't want to assimilate. |

In response to Janae, social taboos are called 'un-Australian'. Some would be: not buying a round of beer at the pub when it is your 'shout' or turn; not knowing anything about cricket; not caring about sport generally; comparing Australia unfavourably with any other country in the world; not knowing the words to 'waltzing Matilda'. |

In response to Lauren: information on falling birth rates - you need to ask a mother (or maybe a woman who chose not to be a mother because she knew she'd have the difficult choice of sending her child out to be cared for by strangers or having to stay at home full time and unemployed) There is not much work available with hours such as 9:30 to 2:30 for women who need to deal with real life. |

In response to ashley :
The literacy rate for Australia is 100%. Literacy, however, is really a continuum from illiterate through low literacy to high literacy.
The International Adult literacy survey (1998) of OECD countries concluded that 44.8% of Australian adults had a low level of literacy . In this study, a low level of literacy represents a skill level lower than that required for successful completion of secondary education.
These people may have difficulty comparing data, understanding data which is not clearly laid out and following complex instructions. Low literacy can affect the training and employment options available to the person, their financial status and their ability to access services such as health and welfare assistance. |

For interesting facts you could have:
Australia is the world's largest exporter of- beef, live sheep, black coal, bauxite, lead, mineral sands and wool.
Australia is also the second largest exporter of- alumina, iron ore, uranium and macadamia nuts.
And its top 12 trading partners are:

2: USA- 9.7%
3: Korea- 7.7%
4: N.Z- 5.7%

The referendum held in 1999 was a complete waste of time and tax payers money as a majority of the people do want a republic. But the choices given to Australians were either to remain a monarchy or become a republic and allow politicians to vote in the head of state. The only point the referendum made was that Australians aren't stupid enough to let politicians completely rule the country. |
