Well isn't he just describing white Australia, as it has always been, I don't think god is going to make any difference, s/he hasn't thus far. Australia didn't get to be the fattest nation on earth from the strength of its spirit, it got that way, by clinging to the suburbs on its shoreline, overeating out of an unwillingness to confront Australia's interior, an existential boredom and a geographically enhanced despair.
