(The answer, by the way, would appear to lie with the fact that this was the number of prescriptions issued, not the number of Australians.)

Still, the publication comes from the same stable as the Daily Telegraph, which over Christmas performed some deep demographic analysis in order to advise women that the best places to meet men are in suburbs with prisons.
