Australians overworked, underpaid and unequal
No way this is total bull we are all happy chaps and girls in the land of plenty.
Must stop reading the Brit press they should go back to taking pictures of Kylies bum.
To outsiders Australia has always been an egalitarian paradise of decent living standards, easy work and time off at the beach.
But according to a new survey, Australians are among the most overworked people in the developed world.
