When I came here at the end of Thatcherite era, Australia was much more prosperous than the UK. The standard of living was noticeably higher for the general population.

After ten years of Howardism many recent migrants are now complaining that Australia is behind the UK in general standards of living and prosperity?

That sort of supports the assumption that the top end of town get a bigger slice of the national cake under right wing governments?
