AUSTRALIAN VALUES This is an Australian values question — In the real test, every values question must be correct.
A friend who is new to Australia asks you why the country is such a peaceful and stable place to live. What should you tell them?
- Our democratic institutions and shared values have built this stable society ✓
- Australia's distance from other countries is what has kept the peace here
- Strict limits on public gatherings are what keep our society peaceful
- Australia's mineral wealth is the reason the country stays calm and stable
Why this is the answer
Peace and stability in Australia come from the way the country is governed and from the values Australians share, not from geography, wealth or restrictions on people.
