So basically we've never had it so good economically, but both sides of politics pretend we've never had it so tough to try and win votes. That and we're just a pack of whingers.

If the US government responded to the Occupy Wall Street movement by implementing a large policy program that Australia already has - Occupy Wall Street would declare victory and go to the pub!

I like that part. But it'll ruin the economy!

Australia is the best place to live, although we can`t afford to be lazy or complacent, we have a duty of care to improve and maintain this place.
