I think the thing is people should only complain about the things they can do something about. That is kind of what I was getting at. What is the point of complaining otherwise? For example, If I visit Australia or NZ and complain constantly that the price of goods are too high compared to elsewhere and demand a discount or that people are aloof and unfriendly, it probably would not get me anywhere. They would just say if you don't like it, then just leave.
I agree. Complaining is necessary sometimes, but if that's all you do, then you need to reevaluate your life because it obviously sucks.
There are people that will complain all day about certain companies or politics and I just wonder if these people actually have a life. It's depressing to look at, lol.
complaining about the price of groceries in another country is just the ravings of a crank , not like anyone is forced to buy , complaining about anything appears to be a big NO NO in new zealand however .
Either another exaggeration, or you don't know the country as well as you think - there are no social conventions, or unspoken rules about complaining, and we were taught to write complaint letters, at school.
Probably just a different threshold for complaint than you're used to.
I concur, Melbourne is more of a city than Sydney as it felt like L.A ,really spread out. It has some nice spots but overall i find Melbourne architecture much more appealing and it feels more pulsating

What is depressing of course, is folk's lack of protest about declining government services over recent times, with ever less help directed towards those whom would benefit to reward those whom evidently don't need it.
Government is well aware those folk, more likely to take it on the chin and stay mute, while under ever more control or forced into the margins. Speaking out, bringing attention to certain companies behaviour (banks for instance) should be loud and demanding. Alone very hard, together all change is possible.

Probably a fair conclusion. Although with ill thought out population increase through migration, while may improve vitality, will do little towards living standards, other than downwards.
