    Why Norway instead of Alaska or Saudi Arabia? We could afford universal basic income for all Aussies easily if we nationalised our raw resources. What balance are you trying to strike here? Worried we’ll run out of oligarchs or smth?

      Yeah, no oligarchs in Saudi…?
      TBH Norway is a nice place, despite the weather.
      You realise you are making the same case as Maduro? It hasn’t worked so well for them.

        Not defending Saudi arabia, just highlighting how rich their welfare system is.
        I’m sure Norway is nice, I think Australia could learn from them and all these other systems and design one for ourselves that works.
