10 Things the USA does better than Australia
August 11th, 2007
I thought I would do a follow up post to 9 things Australia does better than the USA. These are a few things I noticed after spending a semester in Australia.
10. No legal Prostitution
9. We don’t have a government sponsored internet filter yet
8. Food(Vegemite, meat pies, sausage rolls, …. yum?)
7. Television(Neighbors…)
6. School uniforms are not required in public K-12 schools
5. The jellyfish here don’t kill you
4. The police need a reason to stop and test you for drugs/alcohol
3. Alcohol is cheap(the cheapest handle of liquor or a case of beer is ~$10 here and ~$30 in Australia)
2. Gambling is not ubiquitous
1. No Water Restrictions(drought is not an excuse)

Are you saying that the USA is better at illegal prostitution in #10? And in #1, are you saying that the USA is better at water wastage?

In #10 I initially wrote “No Prostitution”, but that simply is not true. I don’t have a better way to word it.
In #1, I was not saying that the USA is better at water wastage. I was saying the USA does not have huge water shortage problems.
