Why is Queensland the best state to live in?

Answer 1

It cannot be said that Queensland is the best state in which to live. Each of the states of Australia has its own unique beauty and features. Queensland could be said to have one of the best climates. It is not subject to the raging bushfires that have hit Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia and South Australia. However, its northern areas are threatened annually by cyclones, whilst its west is subject to either devastating floods or prolonged drought. Queensland certainly has its problems. Queensland's public health system is severely compromised, with poorly equipped hospitals and very low staff morale. Statistics indicate that Queensland's education levels (except for in private schools) falls below the performance of other states (Northern Teritory notwithstanding). Currently, employment is reaching new levels as mining towns struggle with falling world markets in 2009.
