Are you helping the one nation campaign run some marketing and decided to collect some survey data on a punting about why ppl (in this case SW) want PR??

If you've been living in Aus for this long or born here or grew up here and haven't grown to appreciate Australia for what it is then why kick up a fuss on a punting forum and not just consider expat work or going to another country mate?

And mate do you wake up and look at the news and all the other countries around the world and whats happening? Yes recently the crime rates have gone up esp in melb but Aus overall is great compared to whats going on around the world and i feel blessed to be here.

Peace out... Aussie Aussie Ausssie Oi Oi Oi!!
Actually, most crime is falling, including youth crime. The biggest rise is in retail theft, probably partly due to price gouging. A lot of recent rises in inflation are due to increased profits.

As for the OP's question, Australia is pretty awesome, especially comparing the living standards to many others in our region. I would've thought that was pretty obvious.
