In a country inhabited by both the oldest documented living culture and a population that collectively speaks more than 200 languages – the growing and vocal undertones of racism are alarming.

Australia’s national anthem includes the line we’ve boundless plains to share. Is that correct, or are we really ‘full’?

The graphics are compelling and provide a clear answer.

We have been conservative in our translation of the statistics, using a “population:habitable area” ratio rather than a “population:land mass” ratio. The University of Wollongong conservatively estimates that the habitable area of our vast continent (Australia) is only 10%, even so we are we are only 1.7% ‘full’.

This idea was inspired by GOOD magazine – a collaboration of individuals, businesses, and nonprofits making a magazine, videos, and events ‘for people who give a damn’. Each week GOOD, in collaboration with a design studio, produces a Transparency – an infographic that represents important issues and research in an accessible visual format.
