    A recently undertaken international index in which Australia rates very favourably (the higher the index number the better placed compared to peers). Only Singapore rates above Australia.

    Some highlights:

    * Australia's taxes as a % of GDP is lower than the US and UK.

    * Australia's government sector spend as a % of GDP is lower than the US and UK (actually we are lower than most first world countries on the list).

    This is yet another source of non-partisan empirical data indicating Australia is being managed quite well...
