Australians should consume less and build more. The Australian nation has got all the resources, why on Earth is an average Australian salivating for the American cool tech and so on, when the stuff is being designed to be cool to "Americans", but yet built with Australian resources in China, in the first place? Well anyway, as far as the "Australians emulate Americans" thing goes, I hope Australia has a DIY scene akin to the US Maker faires soon enough and so on .. (Disclaimer: I am Australian. Haven't lived there in years, but I do enjoy a yarn.)
