Top 10 Australia
I was having some thoughts about the future of Australia, post-resource riches. I love this country and want it to prosper, but it will be needing a new direction.
So I figure it would be a worthy ambition for Australia to be Top 10 in everything. But definitely not #1. Just be the most well-rounded example of a modern democracy.
So we could strive to be:
Top 10 Tourist Destination
Top 10 Lowest Crime Rate
Top 10 GDP
Top 10 Academic Results
Top 10 National Airline (ok, we’d have to nationalise Qantas…)
and so on. Eventually, just by being seen as the best all-round country, people will want to base their start-up here, people will want to buy our products, people would want to come and visit.
People will choose to have their business conferences here, their destination wedding here, smoke drugs here.
Like a cross between Las Vegas and Scandinavia.
