I was a little surprised to see only 15.6 Australians speak English, which led me to wonder what the other 8 million of us speak. I see that the ethnologue site they used quotes the 2006 Australian census as saying the population was 15.6 million. I can't imagine where they got that, as that census reported the population as being just under 20 million. The 2011 census recorded the population at 21.7 million. I guess if they are prone to using inaccurate data from old sources, it explains some of the other oddities in that map.
