Are you taking the ****? Do you realise just how much land that is highly habitable Australia has? Victoria is the smallest mainland state and is completely habitable and it alone is larger than the entire UK.
Also no weather diversity? Come on man. A frozen tundra is about all Australia doesn't have.
If it's so highly habitable why is the population only 23 million? Seriously.
Australia is nothing but a massive frying hot pan of land, the only good parts are the outer portions with the beaches and cities. Elsewhere Austrailia is full of deserts with some the worlds most dangerous animals.
Weather diversity? No, the country is warm and hot mostly with no or little snow.

Some of Australia is quite wet, Melbourne has a higher annual rainfall than Manchester.
There is one thing I think we can all agree on though.
It was actually Sydney and not Melbourne (so my apologies), my point being that not all of Australia has the same weather.
Sydney, Australia and Porto, Portugal both have over 50% more annual rainfall than Manchester. Milan, Bordeaux, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Rio de Janeiro, New York, Boston, Miami, New Orleans also have much more rain than Manchester.

Yes, by amount, although amount is not the only measure of wetness. Number of days of precipitation (above 0.1 and 1.0 mm), duration of precipitation, cloudiness, temperature, evaporation rate, greenery etc all play a role. Sydney and Melbourne still have fairly temperate, humid climates, and are pretty green overall. England of course is a moist green place though, I don't think anybody would deny that.

That didn't stop the British Department of Culture, Media and Sport from using such claims in it's UK tourist drive a few years ago - LOL
Well yeah it's sort of misleading to only go by amount, Sydney has more sunshine, fewer days of rain than Manchester, and more days when you can comfortably go out in light clothing. When it does rain in Sydney it does tend to be heavier though.
I will say though that for touring even in November I didn't think England was all that bad. Rain was usually drizzly, there were quite a few sunny days, and no it wasn't all that cold. I mean there are worse places, like places with arctic winters or some desert climates with scorching summers. Monsoon rains in the tropics do make travelling nigh on impossible at times.
