Answer 5

Being a kiwi who resided in Brisbane for two years, and having been back in New Zealand for 5 months, I find it laughable that you can't just look out your window and see something to smile about and be thankful for. I miss things about Australia, the good working conditions, a strong and ballsy government, good schools, good weather, and to a lesser extent, hearing lorikeets out my window and lizards climbing up my walls.

New Zealand at present, is bitterly cold and raining for two weeks solid, it's small and depressing.

Perhaps you need to come out of your own self obsessed little world and see that you are so lucky to live in Australia. Come on, you're living in one of the best countries in the world!

Answer 14

It doesn't havea President Bush

Answer 15

We have a decent health system, good employment opportunities, great weather and good friends and family.  Yes - there are plenty of bad things in Australia - but trust me - there are worse situations overseas - just take South Africa for example.  And at least our skies are blue (unlike the brown sky you see in LA).  And it isn't flooding like in NZ (at least not where I live - in Brissy!)  Just a few things to keep you going....

Answer 16

Everything !  

Just the fact that we are Australian is all we'll ever need to smile.

Answer 17

because I am so lucky to be a true blue Aussie, and all the above

Answer 18

Well its still the best country in the world to live in but I loved it a lot more in the seventies, now we are being overun with Asian, Muslim, Sudanese migrants, they are bringing so much violence to our streets, more drugs, crime, it really doesnt feel like Australia anymore but from what I gather the same thing is happening to Germany, France, England, New Zealand etc etc ,

Answer 19

The rain is filling our waterways we live in a beautiful country the people are  community minded we have good social security though the old age pension needs to be increased and the majority of people are friendly and open ethnic diversity expands our minds ...i think aussies glasses are far more than half filled dont you ?  

Answer 20

Try the fact that we are Aussies and we do live in "The Lucky Country".

Everything that we do, we do because we have freedom, things that we say - we have freedom of speech, so many things - all taken for granted.

I wouldn't want to live any where else. Have a look at some of the comments on Answers, have a read on the Internet of things happening around the world and appreciate that they are not happening here. I'm in Adelaide and it is currently raining, with storms forecast, but I don't care. I'm in Australia and thats all that counts!

And I'm smiling!

Answer 21

Belonging to the axis of avarice and the general feeling of superiority over new zealand
