Global pandemic boosts feeling of Australia as lucky country
Despite the enormous challenges of the past year, including widespread bushfires and COVID-19, Australians are more optimistic than ever about the prospects of the nation.
NAB’s annual survey ‘Life in the lucky country’ found 94 per cent of Australians agree down under is a great place to live. This is the strongest result since the survey began five years ago and up six points on last year.
When asked if Australia would still be a great place to live in 10 years’ time, almost 7 in 10 said yes, up from only 55 per cent just 12 months ago. Fewer than 1 in 10 people believe Australia won’t be a great place to live in 2030.
