Australia has

* food standards for shops and franchises .. McDonalds here has better salads that in the US,

* sport and activity as a fundemental part of most lives,

* good health care for all, even for "bottom tier" unemployed, with hybrid public/private health insurance and literal walk in, fall over, free heart surgery and follow up (for those that cannot pay).

Stats wise, higher life expectancy and better cancer survival rates*

* Yes, better, but not by much .. just cheaper and across the demographics.
