Reserve Bank Decision - Cut rates 0.25%!

Not bad...Goatameter is 3 for 4 since March! (though I missed the really good one)

Percentage of women in Australia with Breast Implants :- Maximum of 4% of female population 18+

Was watching "I'm a Celebrity, get me out of me", and one of the women there (reality TV star from "The Bachelor", Laurina Fleure) mentioned that she believes 70% of women in Australia have Breast Implants. Big call. She might just be saying that as she has them, but even so 7 in 10! Anyway, being a stats man, and interested in breasts, I was wondering if this is true so started to investigate. There are no statistics for Breast Augmentation surgery in Australia, so the best we can go on is an international survey by the name of the "ISAPS International Survey on Aesthetic/Cosmetic stats for 2014" Using these stats, I was able to calculate the average number of Breast Augmentations done per plastic surgeon in the top 10 countries performing the surgery (which is approximately 74 per year) As Australia has 317 Plastic surgeons, that means there are approx. 23,400 Breast Augmentations done in 2014 in Australia.

Stats are few and far between so we might have to extrapolate a bit. Firstly, prior to 2013, a family court hearing was required to start children on Puberty blockers for under 18's. Post 2013 however, as long as parents and doctors agreed, it was permitted without court approval.  If we assume a transition period for the case to work its way through the medical community, we can estimate say that the use of Puberty blockers for Gender Dsyphoria started in Australia in 2015, that provides a a starting date. In regards to how many kids get prescribed puberty blockers in Australia, only WA and QLD provide info. WA  - 20 kids between Jan 1 and Oct 31 2025 (so that would be extrapolated to 24 for the full year). WA has approx. 194,789 kids between 10 and 14 in 2026 (extrapolated from 2016/2021 census growth), ...
