404 Titan, you sound like a very negative chappie; a refugee from the 89 thing perhaps?
I find those with such a negative slant on everything from Australia to newspapers to financial advisers are usually in that group.
I've lived in five different countries, three in Asia, and visited forty on holidays over many years, and even with what may be termed an unfavourable taxation regime, Australia is still
the best country, bar none.
