"The worst ranked country considering all policy indicators was Singapore, which is spending $US733 ($A750) in public money per household, followed by South Korea and Japan."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territor... Those countries rank as #3, #23, and #38 in terms of population density while Australia is #235 out of 241 territories. Australia seems to have the least population density of any developed country and there aren't many developed countries (as opposed to territories such as Puerto Rico and developing countries like Bangladesh) which have a greater population density than Japan. I don't think that comparing Australia with those three countries makes sense. Unless of course you would to consider the option of doing something like Singapore for the Melbourne and Sydney CBD and something a bit different for the rest of the country. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
