@dlowan,
Oh, don't sell yourselves short, Miss Wabbit.
This article from Skeptics Mag Hotline says that: "Australia is the largest bastion of creationism in the world outside America, so we need to pay close attention to what happens there."
A very interesting comment from the article:
"Creationism has entered Australia by stealth as a business. Once established in 1980, the lobbying of State governments was so successful that Queensland allowed the teaching of creationism as science to school children."
There is a disclaimer at the end of the article about allegations of financial fraud on the part of Oz creationists. Still and all, i think you can justifiably be proud of your nation's showing in the area of religious luancy.
