Australia scores highest on Uneven Economic Development along Group Lines, rather low on Rise of Factionalized Elites (apparently factionalised elites are a bad thing), and zero (which for some reason scores a 1) on a bunch of indicators, including Progressive Deterioration of Public Services which will come as news to the thirty people who were waiting in the queue behind me at the Post Office on Saturday.
