Is Australia A Better Country Than US And UK? by BizLifeE: 10:03am On Jan 15, 2017
Having lived in all 3 countries: I like to say this: Australia has the best of America and of Europe.

It is similar to Europe with:
Excellent free or near free universal health care
Excellent free or near free universal education
Gun free country
Social safety nets
Very safe
Excellent workplace conditions
4 weeks at the minimum vacation leave
A sense of civility in all things political and social,
Religion stays at church/Mosque/Temple for those that go there.

The country as a whole does have the individual and country interest at heart.
It is similar to America with:
Reduced red tape for most things
A business friendly environment
A can do attitude
A will do attitude
Land of opportunity for those willing to work hard
Large open spaces and lots of wilderness

Australia is also similar to both America and the UK (and other European countries) in
A robust and mature democracy
It is willing to punch above its weight on the international scene for what it believes is right (Anti terror, climate, freedom…)
Wealthy and influential
Multi cultural
Tolerant.

A society based on the rule of the law, law which is decided by its population.

And Australia is of course unique in its combination of all the above as well as its people who are
More resilient than the average,
Have a heightened sense of humour,
Can be sometimes brash and outspoken,
Always ready to take own up to mistakes and errors.
Always there to help.

Is Australia better? I think so, others might not… To each his own.

Don't underestimate New Zealand...just like Australia! I knew a guy who wasted 12yrs trying to make it to US, UK and Canada without success. A friend convinced him to go to Auckland or Wellington, NZ, he reluctantly did to Auckland. Today 7yrs later, he thank God for taking him to New Zealand. He now visits UK, US and Canada on vacations but vowed never to live any where else but New Zealand. Obviously this was 7yrs ago when New Zealand was giving out visas like candies like Canada did in early 2000, and US did in the 80s. The problem with us is we focus so much on US, UK and Canada, neglecting other well developed countries, with even better living standards and opportunities than these countries.
