Template:Outline of knowledge coverage

Not relevant to section and not neutral:

Indigenous Australians experience higher than average rates of imprisonment and unemployment, lower levels of education, and life expectancies for males and females that are, respectively, 11 and 17 years lower than those of non-indigenous Australians.[279][313][314] Some remote Indigenous communities have been described as having "failed state"-like conditions.[315] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.107.193.252 (talk) 06:04, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done

I've removed the "failed state" sentence, because I agree that it is non-neutral and doesn't belong here. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:30, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've also removed the first sentence as requested. Possibly the information belongs elsewhere in this article, but I don't think it's appropriate here. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:37, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have an edit request for this article. This article does not contain anything about the wildlife in Australia. Here is what I want to be put in:

Most kangaroos, unlike humans, are left handed. Koalas are only awake for four hours of the day. In this article, you will be learning all about Australian wildlife. Here are some more facts that you probably didn't know: even though koalas sleep so much, they can swim very well. Wombats can dig 100 foot tunnels underground. Tasmanian Devils store fat in their tails. You will learn much more if you keep reading.

Some Australian land animals are kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, wombats, thorny dragons, Tasmanian devils, dingoes, and many more. Australian land wildlife is very interesting. There are many different types of landscapes in Australia so that means that there will be very different kinds of animals on land in Australia. Some landscapes are desert, providing homes to animals like the Thorny Dragon, some landscapes are rainforest, giving hospitalization to animals like the Tasmanian Devil. And some animals, like the Echidna, can survive in multiple kinds of biom- es.

Some animals in Australia that rely on water are frogs, mosquitoes, fish such as Australian bass, many birds, and gators. Australian water life is crucial to the organized way that Australian wildlife works. The platypus, an animal with a duck-like beak, is both a water and a land animal. Though if you go to Australia you will not see one, for they are very good at hiding

In the skies of Australia, you will find many different birds such as the forest kingfisher, the tawny frogmouth, the superb lyrebird, and the red-tailed tropicbird. However you are very much mistaken if you think birds are the only sky animals in Australia. Sugar gliders, also known as the flying squirrel, also live in Australia.

Now you know all about wildlife in Australia. If you are not sure about some things that you read, or if this did not answer all of your questions about Australia, you may find it in another source. 50.39.175.149 (talk) 19:31, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
