Abstract

Hardly a month or two go by without some "informed" commentator admonishing Australians that they are in danger of being "left behind." It is as though the country's inhabitants are being scripted as actors in a religious, dispensationalist, prophetic drama of sorts. Seemingly, we constantly are being analysed and compared to one or another nation - whether South-east Asian, Scandinavian, or some other group on the globe.
