I would also like to know where an Australian would consider emigrating to?
Perhaps the grass is greener on the other side because there's more manure there!

.
Having said that if I was to emigrate I would choose Australia. Unfortunately Australia doesn't have a use for aging Nuclear Engineers.
Reason for this decision would be the fact that your have a law enforcement agency that seems to work.
My reasons for saying that are as follows.
1.How many people die in car accidents annually?
2.How many people are murdered annually?
3.How many women are raped annually?
4.How many people are robbed with intent to do grievous bodily harm annually?
5.How many people are hijacked for their cars annually?
6.The Australian dollar is sound and stable in comparison to other currencies.
Sure Australia has petty crime like everywhere else, but in my opinion you guys really have it good in Australia. Sure there are problems with dingbats who cant control their peurile impulses to shine their lasers at inappropriate targets but with a concerted effort and petitioning you can get around this problem. Even if you have to register and it costs a bit of money.
Remember, when the food is finished you cant eat the money!
