AUSTRALIA is second best - almost but not quite the greatest place in which to live, according to the latest
United Nations human development index.
Norway pips us by a flared nostril. Australia scores 0.93 on a scale of 0 to 1, where 1 is the highest score possible.
At 0.94, Norway's margin over Australia is close to invisible...
The UN says the worst places in the world to live are in Africa. The bottom five are Chad, Mozambique, Burundi, Niger and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The five best places to live are Norway, Australia, the Netherlands, the US and New Zealand.
