Actually the term "wog" is used by Greeks, Italians themselves quite alot in jest. Everybody else shuns the term. Greeks and Aussies get along really well here.
The reason why so many perceive Australia as rascist actually quite irritates me considering Sydney is the most Multicultural city in the world.
Guess it says more about humanities nature than Australians.
The recent Cronulla riots were 99% rednecks responding to the Lebanese rape gangs that were nightly attacking girls. People were fed up. The riots were wrong and stupid. But nothing compared to the attacks on those poor girls.
Sydney is a boring and over expensive city and overpopulated. And if it rates as no 5 in the world then the rest of the planet must suck BIGTIME!

I loved Sydney when I was there - the harbour, Bondi, Manly, the nightlife & the women. Melbourne seemed more sedate by comparison - more old world European than Sydney's Mediterranean flavour. I would definitely live in Sydney - but it was an expensive place.
And I thought all Aussies agreed on Canberra as the most boring place on the continent. 😉
So the rankings measure a lot of factors to describe 'best place to live.' But is that the same as happiness? This survey of US cities alone tells a different tale of where the happiest workers live:
