Only tied for 7th! :hyper: All us poor folk must have dragged the average down! ;)
 
Australia at number 4 - not too shabby. It's an interesting concept, but I noticed in the article that Australia gained 15 places this year due partly to investment, security and migration. In my opinion, the changes made in these areas have made things worse for developing countries (free trade policy with the US, tough immigration laws and detention of illegal immigrants, restrictions on travel and so on). But, maybe I'm just reading this the wrong way!
