Talk:Australia

States

I've replaced the word 'state' in the first paragraph with 'nation', as the Commonwealth of Australia is actually a federation of states, and 'tis better not to overload the term.

Also made the distinction between Oceania and Asia slightly clearer, and added the Australian Antarctic Territories to the roster of places.

does "Australian Antarctic Territories" qualify as fully owned by Australia-- Wikipedia says only 4 countries recognize the claim, and that it's in abeyance. Richard Jensen 08:11, 5 September 2007 (CDT)

'Australian Aborigines' versus 'Aborigines'

'Aborigines' is a generic term for native peoples, which deserves a separate article.

So, in the beginning sentence I left the term 'aborigines' in the text, but provided a link to an 'Australian Aborigines' article.
