Outside Australian Waters
The 2004 tsunami is included as a reference, and possible Australian article. To what extent was Australia/Australians directly affected? Is there notability for a stand alone article, or material to be added to existing articles?

Current article states "Australians will be asked to observe a minute's silence at 11.59am." - was this a once off request, or an annual event. The tense of the sentence implies that it is yet forthcoming, but was this minutes silence in Jan 2005?
