Is America ahead of Australia?

That depends on one's opinion, along with much consideration about the qualities of each county. If you were to ask "Is the US economy better than the Australian economy," the answer would be a definitive "Yes," because one can look at the evidence and see that clearly US has a stronger economy. But in comparing qualitative properties of both countries: standard of living, education levels, social normalities, etc., one would have a harder time determining which is better than the other. All-in-all, it boils down to the person's views and bias; as an American, i would say, yes, the US is better than Australia.

One must contest the assertion that the US has stronger economy. It is worthwhile noting that Australia weathered the global recession of 2009-10 much better than other countries did, including the USA. This would suggest that Australia currently has a more stable economy at the moment.

Australia has affordable private medical insurance and an excellent public hospital system which, although it has its problems, is said to be better than the system in the US.

Does debt follow you to Australia from the UK?

Bankruptcy does not affect movements between UK and Australia. Nor will bankruptcy stop you getting an Australian visa. Your bankruptcy in the UK will not exist on your records in Australia.

You do need to inform the Insolvency service in England once to move to an Australian address though. This is part of your stipulations in a UK bankruptcy. Your income and expenditure will then be re-assessed. For some interesting information on this there is one expert company based in the UK called Bankruptcy from Abroad; I understand they deal with these situations. bankruptcyfromabroad.co.uk
