Australia....the World's Happiest Country.
Thursday, May 24, 2012 by Jafo | Discussion: Everything Else
So said the news item yesterday......
Maybe it's because we're so easily amused....
Surely can't be because Gina is Numero Uno Rich-Bitch on the planet.....
It would take the average Australian 465 THOUSAND YEARS to match her PERSONAL income for this one year. NINETEEN BILLION and counting.
Come on, people....now you really know the reason for the Carbon Tax.
She ain't gonna give it up willingly....even wanted to hold off on giving it to her OWN kids until 2065.....

At $2 million an hour, good old Gina must be the happiest Australian.
It's a good thing they downgraded the mining tax ... all those unhappy billionaires would lower the Aussie happy rating.

She sounds like the kind of person I've met many times before, a complete and utter idiot.

You guy certainly have some of the most interesting swimming, walking, an hopping critters around. They're endless amusement in themselves.

then again we do have some of the most stupid politicians in existence, eg the last six governments( they all seem to think that taxing everybody to death is going to improve the prosperity of the country, when all it does is to KILL the country)

My country, Canada, is similar to Australia in that respect. Opposite to that of the U.S., any of our governments here in Canada think the answer to everything is to raise taxes. There seems to be some strange corelation. The higher the taxes, the happier the population.

In the US of A they have all reasons to raise tax, so far at $40K per person per year spending. The problem there is no money to pay them (coming from someone who shares a house with missing shingles with its owner because can pay rent) Maybe Gina would pay? FB going to mess up the economy if we don't get help from somewhere.
I would really like to avoid taxes entirely - maybe move to Australia? Does Gina like dogs?

Put away your Aussie propaganda. China, North Korea, and Cuba are the happiest countries.

I actually don't get that Norway is #3. Norwegians complain a lot.......but then again, maybe we are happiest when we have something to complain about. That's why we love paying really high taxes!

Having been to your fine country, it doesn't surprise me you guys are so happy. Beautiful weather, thousands of miles of empty beaches and coastline, tropical rainforest, delicious seafood.
On the Australian political front, I can't resist posting this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFELLK8htKM
All those British political satires are going to need to step up their game. They've just been outdone by reality.
