Instead of writing about how great Australia is I decided to ask a few of my friends to tell me why they think Australia is the best country in the world to live in right now so here's theire comments (some of them were drunk though! lol) If you're living in Australia and have a comment you can add it at the bottom of this page

AUSTRALIA

Officially voted the 3rd best Country in the world overall by the United Nations (after Sweden and Norway) Australia is just a great place.Besides .. I live in Australia!

AUSTRALIA

One of the best country's on earth

* A country that has the highest standards of living
* Stable and growing economy
* Smart educated people
* Nice land, especially the beachs here
* Not a power ego war starting country

AUSTRALIA

Officially the greatest country in the world, and yes we can wear that title because we`re all the way down here so what the hell are you gonna do about it!?

AUSTRALIA

Chat room:
Australian: Ugh, another kangaroo just hopped past my window.
American: Wow! I hear that happens all the time over there.
Australian: Dipshit.

AUSTRALIA

Australia is a great country with a diverse culture. good friendly people, good at almost every sport and one of the highest standards of living. nothing like america where they dont even have a proper health system.

AUSTRALIA

The greatest country in the world. kick ass in sport, hot guys and girls, great shopping, life is laid back and basically quite peacefull. kinda like america without all the driveby shootings, cheerleaders, abercrombie and dunkin donuts. home to the hottest people in the world as we r the most multicultural nation with every race on the planet. so basically alot of people r mixed up and therefore very exotic looking.

AUSTRALIA

-- Our population is 20,595,860 appox; and increases by one person every 2 minutes and 12 seconds. (Unlike the US which breeds like rabbits: one person every 10 seconds...)
-- Our military IS the most highly trained combat force in the world.
-- Our medical research is the best in the world. Most of the major breakthroughs in the last few years came from Australia. Especially cancer research. Other nations ask our scientists for help...
-- Our public healthcare system doesn't just rival that of the US, it KICKS ITS ARSE! Every citizen of Australia is entitled to FREE basic public healthcare and emergency hospital treatment (if necessary).
-- Gun related deaths in the US each year: over 10,000. Gun related deaths in Australia each year: less than 70. (33 deaths per 1 million people in the US; 3.5 deaths per 1 million people in Australia.

AUSTRALIA

Australia spends thier money on important things like; education, health and employment where as america spends most of thier money on the military.

AUSTRALIA

One of the most beutiful countries in the world with low crime rate and very few racists.

We are one of the best countries at sport (try beat us at Cricket or Rugby)

We have some of he best doctors in the world and are one of the most medically advanced countries.

AUSTRALIA

The best country in the world no matter what is said. Yes, our ancestors were convicts, yes we love our beer, and yes we may be conceited about how bloody good we are at sport, but you can't say any other patriotic mofo out there doesnt think that their country is the best. No we do have the best military in the world, the SAS, best trained and most successful fighting force known to man. We may not have the numbers but we can kick ass. We are not woman hitters, you may think we are sexest but the females over here got their rights before most other countries and like the aussie males. Doesn't every country have its criminals? its shamers? its racists? People say we have no culture, every single culture there is adds bits of it into our massive mix. If we didnt accept other cultures there would always be racial violence and demonstrations but we have barely any of that at all, if any. You don't see no KKK down here. And no, the US is not the hottest country, sorry, no offence and all but you have the largest obesity rate and to put it nicely, you's look funny. And plz don't say our accent is bad, becoz every foreign person i know, loves our accent the way we talk, and people are always commenting on our looks. And any slang we make up to annoy other races etc is purely friendly and jokingly, we don't mean it for sure but if people are as offended so easily that they cant detect sarcasm then they should come out here for a week.And sorry, but basketball baseball and gridiron arent sports.
Be our friend, not our enemy, coz we are too far down on the map to care.

G'day mate, i don't care what race you come from sit down here with me and lets have a beer.

P.S The poms drink fosters not us, Australia drinks from a glass bottle =D

AUSTRALIA

A big island off the coast of New Zealand. Legend has it that kangaroos were the first to inhabit this island, before Captain Cook discovered it. Cook drove the kangaroos away, and it is said in ancient texts that they are planning their return and will soon reclaim this land for their own. It is recommended to walk around with full body armour at all times, as the riots of the underground leaders, of the kangaroo militia are getting even more un-predictable and dangerous.

AUSTRALIA

australia is probably one of the better countys in the world. it has awesome cool scenery and accepts people as citisans easier than most other counties.

the government pays people to go to school and to be unemployed. and most of the better people who live here are multi cultural and not rasist.

so in my opinion i think australia is a pretty alright place to live :)

aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi.
