...have returned to their homeland (6% of British immigrants, 2% of the others), and the nation's economists reckon that immigrant labor has played a major part in boosting the generation of electricity by 81% in seven years, the production of black coal by 36%. To take the strain off the country's housing industry, which in the past three years has built enough homes to house 900,000 people, thousands of prefab houses have been imported.

Australian Novelist Niland, who has been a swagman himself, tells the reader a lot about his homeland in a story as fresh as a billy of tea brewing over a thistle campfire. But for some tastes, he may have spooned in a bit too much sugar...
