Confused
I've often heard Australia and NZ referred to as egalitarian societies. That is to say, that everyone is equal, has the same chances in life etc (obviously only in comparison to other countries).
It seems to me that this is nothing but a myth. After all, the Maoris were denied the right to an education until the 1970s by the white Europeans (i.e. English :icon_evil: ). Even today they earn less, are more likely to be unemployed etc.
If what I've read is correct then the UK is probably more egalitarian than NZ!
