Australia is no doubt a very good country, better than many. I does deserve to be in the top 20s. But, number 2? Well, I doubt.....

Re: Australia second best quality of life in the world
Trouble is many Australians actually believe this stuff,
Australia is a bit of a bubble, they are isolated in many ways , they look at thier country not just through rose coloured glasses but as if they are on LSD.
Australia is overrated , this doen't mean it's a third world country , however it can be a disapointment to many.

If you over sell a country it can be disappointing.
