Re: Australia second best quality of life in the world
You mean these bits....
Firefighters from Balmain Fire Station have urged residents to prepare for summer and reduce fire hazards around the home.
“People should clear any clutter such as piles of rubbish and weeds,
I assume then that House fires only happen happen in Summer and not in winter, when people use heaters, and that dried weeds, etc are now self combustible in NSW, and don't need a spark such as fireworks to set them alight.

Re: Australia second best quality of life in the world
It doesn't take an expert to know that the following factors did not carry much weight in this quality of life ranking:
1. Racial harmony and tolerance
2. Quality of tertiary education
3. Income/expense ratio
4. Equal employment opportunity
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.....

Some people are more equal than others.

I wasn't actually aware the survey was Australian though, thanks for pointing that out.

I see no reason for people who have no clue about handling explosive devices, being allowed to set them off around people's homes. They should be banned for all but licensed users in proper displays.

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.

Other countries get millions of migrants too ....it's not all about Oz.
If you over sell a country it can be disappointing.
