I'd agree with the first two Alex, but debate the other three. I've found most Aussies I've met are no worse than anywhere else in the world on those scores.
I tend to agree with Alex, on all scores.

No, we're no worse on those other scores, but we're also no better. Hence we're as fat as just about any other nation which has a weight 'problem'.

It would be foolish to deny personal discipline plays a part in many cases of obesity. Not all, but many. And those other 'scores' are linked to each other.

At 100kg and 5'11", I'm about 15kg over what I should be, and I have only myself to blame for it. No excuses...no pointing the finger elsewhere. I ate the wrong food too often, enjoyed myself a little too much on the booze front, and did bugger all exercise even though I could have found the time.

That's all changing... 85kg here I come!!!
