You can largely gauge a society by what it values!

Some make a big song and dance about the elimination of absolute poverty, others strive to be the next self proclaimed supapowah! Some talk about progressing towards a 'moderately prosperous society' where as others harp on about raising up the global GDP rankings!

The contrast between quiet confidence compared with insecure angst is writ large..........

A typical example would be boat:

Well for one a free trade deal between both countries actually makes sense. India lacks resources and Australia has them. And the time when Australia had industries of significance is now long gone. But knowing how Australia typically rolls I doubt they will be that looking forward to Indian immigration into their country.
