Diaspora
Firstly thank you for notifying me on my talk page that the article on the Australian diaspora was under discussion.

I went back and reviewed my edits at the time of the article creation. I recall that I was also somewhat skeptical of the term (and I am a "white middle-class Australian" ;-) ). I wrote the article in response to some edits I was doing at the time of the article on Demographics of Australia.  Trawling back through the edit history of that article, the paragraph mentioning Australian diaspora was added in June 2004 by an editor who edited only briefly.  He did in fact also add the phenomenon to the article on diaspora.

I have checked the top google hits for "Australian diaspora" and your speculation that a "substantial proportion of these google hits would come from a) Australian Aboriginal diasporas and b) people escaping actual diasporas migrating to Australia" is not realised for those at the top of the list. While wikipedia does not depend on google hits to assert notability, the fact that the topic does come up with a significant number of hits is a guide to notability while not being a conclusive argument.

I have no difficulty with the article being moved to say Australian expatriate community or some other name including Emmigration from Australia. I think that the article on Demographics of Australia is sufficiently large that a merger into that article is not useful. But other than opposing deletion, I am not really fussy about a debate on the topic. --Matilda talk 22:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I note on your user page you have a ref to check for Imagining Australia by Macgregor Duncan, Andrew Leigh, David Madden, Peter Tynan - this url might help --Matilda talk 00:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Stewart article
Let me know when you've grabbed it so I can remove it. Orderinchaos 04:17, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries - have pulled it off now (basically keeping s40 and Div 2 of the Copyright Act happy). Orderinchaos 03:48, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

International rankings of Aus (FSI)
But it does imply that least failed = most sustainable, and, to avoid confusion, I think it's important to note that lower rankings on the FSI are actually desirable. If you can find a better way of clarifying that, then go ahead. Maybe just "sustainable" in green text; green representing top score on the main FSI website (red = lowest score). And, I'm not trying to hype Australia as some great utopia of top index rankings :/ Hence the addition of indexes where Australia ranks rather dismally, like the Environmental Performance Index. We're also performing poorly in a bunch of other indexes, like the Gender Gap Index and the Life Satisfaction Index... GarrieFerron 04:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
