Abstract
Australia is a nation of 23.1 million people (ABS, 2013a) occupying the whole of an island continent at the west end of the Pacific Ocean in the Southern Hemisphere. It is a British settler-state based on the forcible appropriation of the land of the indigenous inhabitants, akin in that respect to Canada (the nation it resembles most closely) and the United States. Like the North American countries it is a federation based on the unification of originally separated colonial enclaves.
