   Population total Australia: 27,536,874   
   Population total USA:  348,124,832   
      
   Australia has 7.910057389988198% of the US total so of course their   
   numbers will be lower.   
      
   Australia has around 400,000 African blacks, who were primarily   
   responsible for a "machete" ban recently.   
      
   The USA has 48,300,000 African blacks.  The USA has 12,075% more than   
   Australia and the ethnic group is over-represented in all crime   
   statistics.   
      
   Maybe the USA should ban blacks.
