Populations: Australia ~ 22 mill NZ 4 mill. Resources: Australia -considerable mineral wealth and vast areas in sheep and beef. NZ some coal and a little gas; export receipts mostly from agriculture. Stable democratically elected governments in both countries. Independent judiciaries jealously guarded. Little corruption. Literate and generally well educated populace. Settled originally from UK and Europe but now diverse ethnicities. So you can see I'm noting the similarities between us and the Venezuela Cuba scenario. Having the hand of Mother England overseeing our every move as a British colony for 60 or so years set both countries on a course that has led to a free society where everyone is treated the same under the rule of law - even politicians. So how did both countries do it? I don't know. But given what you have, how could things go so horribly wrong? If we tried a stunt on Australia like Cuba has done to Venezuela we'd be turned in dog food. So deep down when did the rot really set in? Is Education (or lack thereof) the cause? Is that why few complain?Ross11https://www.blogger.com/profile/00042514465092675618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-63104222621597305362014-04-22T00:28:34.478+02:002014-04-22T00:28:34.478+02:00Nunca mejor dicho.
