Well, we would be if we had worthwhile people to vote for.
Unfortunately, the only folks who turn up as candidates .... are
politicians ! Our (compulsory) choice is between different flavours
of dishonesty. :(
And dishonesty has been elevated to an elite artform in Australian
politics over the last few years. I think we must be nearly caught up,
in that regard, to some other countries represented on this list.
Or am I just an old cynic ?
