The Accord 'saved us from Thatcherism'

"On the 30th anniversary of the historic IR agreement the Prices and Incomes Accord, a leading workforce academic says we should be grateful for the deal, which allowed Australia to restructure its economy without tearing apart its sense of community and creating class divisions for years to come."

even the so-called Conservatives in Oz are more 'left-wing' than new labour...and the result?:
Australia tops OECD annual best country to live in index

The irony is, everyone goes on about how Thatcher destroyed forever the UK's 'sense of community' and yet the UK appears to be 3rd from top in this sector - several places above Australia. The most telling one is life satisfaction which isn't that high, but then again UK people are always moaning about something.

Correct, Foz

The main "moaners" are the something-for-nothing brigade who comtinually bleat about they are not given enough handouts.

I agree..there is a great 'sense of community ' in the UK but quite a good one in Oz which I put down to the millions of lovely Brits like moi.

they are mostly in the grip of spirits..alcoholic ones and who could blame them after our ancestors used them for shooting practise.
David Gower is mostly correct..little culture apart from Hedda and Dame Edna. Although I notice a great absence of kulture at British sporting events as well. Not that I'd bee seen dead at any sporting event unless there was a VIP Hospitality marquee
