The majority of the world drives in the RHS. However, they're the weirdos.

Still waiting for the explanation as to why left hand drivers need to see a psychiastrist, TM...........after all even your wiki reference (which has been posted before BTW) concedes that the LHS has a much longer history than the alternate-and predates the automobile by several millenia-not to mention that right handedness is vastly dominant across the human race (70-95%)-making the historical keeping left narrative logical

TM didn't say that. He said "whoever thought it up" etc. And since it appears no one really did, I have asked my shrink to stand down for now.

He's annoyed - he was expecting a big cheque.

Anyway...back to Australia...

Since we are all humans (maybe not the Australians: they might be aliens), we are all nutty in some way. We have been throughout our history. And maybe one of these days far in our future real outer space aliens will be observing us and say to themselves" These nasty creatures called Humans are a constant annoyance." "I think they need to be exterminated." "Then we can eat them and rape their world of all it's minerals and water!"

Those "aliens" sound remarkably like some humans, and not at all "alien".

If this really were "far in our future" then I suspect there may not be many minerals, or clean water, left, at least so long as we humans continue our "alien" ways.

Perhaps we should get all the "alien" visitors to eat vegemite? I'm sure that'd solve some sort of problem... somewhere.

If a civilization were advanced enough to build starships they would have the technology to clean our dirty oceans and then drain them, and they would have the technology to extract what ever they wanted from the Earth's core!
