I found this pretty interesting.

Of particular interest was the visual representation of education over time. I wonder what that means.

Thoughts?

EDIT: And the religion figures to an even greater degree.

More than half of the population is now educated to a year 12 level or above.
Meaning that more students will be off to university to pursue a Bachelor degree. No surprise the worth of a Bachelor degree is slowly decreasing.

At the same time as we've gotten better educated, we've become much less religious.
I thought this one was very interesting.
