At least they are making good revenue from their duty free shop and airport.The new airport will be having glass runway. There is no comparison between Sydney airport and Dubai airport.

Actually in Dubai they have clearly proved to the western countries that how to really spend money on the infrastructure?

Interesting. I found Dubai one of the better airports in the world.

Australia would have the best infrastructure in the world if we imported slaves from Asia to work 7 days a week for next to nothing.

I've been to Dubai, it's not a bad place for a stopover but in my opinion to even consider living there, compared to Australia you'd have to be insane.

Apart from the baby bonus - even if the baby is born outside Australia.

Seems pretty generous to me.

Most countries have some form of GST/VAT. At 10%, Australia's GST is much lower than most of Europe.

Australia is very far away from Europe (economically and geographically).Australia has a laid back living style. Europe (EU) is world's strongest economy and Australia should be compared with its neighbours Malaysia and Indonesia.

New parents! I could use a couple of these, if only temporarily. Where do you get them

What makes me laugh is if we had no GST and no stamp duty where is the tax revenue going to come from?

At least with GST we can be selective. Income tax is still lower than NZ
