Australia is a modern western-style social democracy.
If you examine key economic and political indicators it becomes apparent the country is quite well run. There is a reason lots of people want to come here, it's a comfortable, safe and well run place to live.
If you look at things like:
Relatively low tax rate for a modern economy
Low corruption and well-respected instututions
Quite transparent democratic systems, judiciary and government
High education levels
etc etc
It's a good place to live. If you don't like it, no one will stop you leaving. Drop me a line, I'll make time to drive you to an international airport.
