    Abstract
    IS AUSTRALIA really the 'lucky country'? Not according to most Australians, who will tell you about the rising cost of living, the strain the new carbon tax will put on their household budgets, and the need to 'Stop the Boats'. Not according to industry, who frequently complain to the media that such-�and-�such a new law will drive them into bankruptcy if the government doesn't heed their demands. And certainly not according to our politicians, who instead focus their energy on short-�term political manoeuvring calculated to gain a few Newspoll points against their opposition.IS AUSTRALIA really the 'lucky country'?
