Great state of affairs

QUEENSLANDERS are more pessimistic about the future of housing affordability and living costs over the next decade than any other lifestyle factor, a report shows.

A National Australia Bank survey of more than 2000 Australians reveals 92 per cent of respondents think the state is a great place to live in 2018, joining Tasmania as the most positive state in the country.

The report titled Life in the Lucky Country – what makes Australia great? found the people and the lifestyle was what made Queensland so appealing, but it is the least positive of all states about public transport and travel time.
