AUSTRALIAN VALUES This is an Australian values question — In the real test, every values question must be correct.
In Australia, what should decide how much a person achieves in life?
- The community where they grew up as a child
- Their own hard work and their own talents ✓
- The family that they happened to be born into
- The amount of money that they already own
Why this is the answer
Success here is meant to come from effort and ability, not from birth or connections.
This question is from: Equality of opportunity and a ‘fair go’
