Where to go though?

In the end, for the 63% of the nation whom are home owners, we also have

- very good and accessible healthcare + education (at least junior and secondary)

- it’s generally safe. Of course we have crime, some violent, however compared parts of USA and Europe, def safer.

However, beyond that and previously mentioned draconian censorship, we also have

- very high income tax on top of GST, CGT, stamp duty, etc

- very high energy prices (when we have an abundance of coal - don’t get me started).

- extreme property or rent prices, great for the landlord class, but it’s not really a win for the nation (I own a home, but I’m not for the extraction of wealth - it’s not productive)

- very tough business conditions. Small business environment not as good as somewhere like USA.

What else?

Where would you go if not Australia?
