How can it be that there is so little confidence in Australia at the moment, when most Western countries would be more than happy to be in our economic shoes? Does it have anything to do with the way media is busy constructing politics and society as a sort of tv reality show, full of strife and with misery to come? The preoccupation with gloom and doom seems particularly unreal to one who has seen Australia survive many truly difficult times in the past century and who has just returned from Europe, where there really are considerable economic problems to worry about.
