    Life Expectancy: Australia 81.63 years, France 80.98. Points 1 : 0
    Olympics... do we even need to look this up, let alone adjust per capita. 1 points to Aus, 1 to France for inventing it. 2: 1
    Economy:
    Unemployment Australia Unemployment half that of France 3:1
    GDP per Capita: Australia $38k US, France $32k 4:1
    Public Debt: Australia 14% of GDP, France 68% 5:1
    Industrial Growth Rate: Australia 3%, France - 2% 7:1 (shrinkage is never sexy).

    etc.

    And what do I see when I go around Sydney. Lots of places with signs in multiple languages. I can go to Auburn for Turkish food, Hay markets for Chinese, Strathfield for Korean, Cambramatta for Vietnamese. I can turn up at a doctors surgery and see signs in multiple languages, I can turn up at hospital and see translation services in multiple languages. We have French speakers and food too and they provide a lot of culture too, I love having french bread and croissants. Italian coffee and Dutch cheese.

    I'll take multicultural failure above zero-culture success of those who believe in mono-culture any day of the week.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
