Lockheed Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) I thought Indonesia (Bali) would be on the high list but I suppose it's an unofficial state of Australia and as the second column shows, they get injured but don't die.

taotoo Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 What are the raw numbers meant to represent? Only 24 Australians died in the US last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wym Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I suspect the "mainly elderly visiting retirees passing away" accounts for a lot of the Ockers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wym Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hasn't hit google yet. Seems they get their numbers from the embassies, so this would not include those Ockers that took care of their issues without consular assistance.

KittenKong Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Useless statistics. Unless they give the numbers as a percentage of total visits to each country the comparison is absolutely meaningless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metisdead Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It is generally accepted, but not written into law, that quoting the first two or three sentences of an article and giving a link to the source is considered “fair use” and not a violation of copyright. As the OP has failed to provide a link to the source, this is now closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
