Australia, the LUCKY country.
Australia, is called 'the LUCKY country'.
We all know, that people from many nations in this world,
desire and want to come here, to Australia,
to live here.
Australia, especially.
Because Australia is a wealthy country, and '
a fat country'.
They do NOT express any want, to go, and to live, and to become citizens of places like Afghanistan, or Turkey, or Cambodia, or Somalia, or Sudan, et al.
No.
They want to come to Australia.
Because Australia still, is identified, as 'the LUCKY country'.
Because Australia [more correctly, imo]
WAS, 'the LUCKY country'.
.
QUESTION;If indeed Australia
was 'the LUCKY country', what was it, that in fact, once made Australia 'the LUCKY country' ?
PROPOSITION;IMO, it was the PAST societal values, and the PAST moral compass, of 'the bog-standard' Australian,
which once made Australia, preeminently, 'the LUCKY country'.
And 'back then',
we were not perfect.
Far from perfect !
We still had criminals and criminality, within Australian society.
But 'back then', almost all Australians knew, personally,
what was right and what was wrong.
What was acceptable behaviour, and what was NOT acceptable behaviour.
I would say, that Australians and Australia, then, had a functioning moral compass.
But not today.
Not in 2021.
In 2021 [and for some decades] Australians and Australia, have abandoned the [their old] 'moral compass',
and have chosen, collectively, to pursue 'a new course'.
I would argue, that we [our nation, today] are in the mire.
No ?

Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Psalms 9:16
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Isaiah 48:17
Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
"If individuals make poor personal choices,
they ought to expect poor personal outcomes."

Luke 12:56
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
An evil time.
