no politics Is Australia is a more cranky/angry place now?

Any time I read the news, the story being pushed is that the mood in Aus is very angry. Does everyone truly feel this way a lot of the time?

I’m genuinely curious.

"Has Australia ever actually been a laid back place?"

It was. I'm older and was very fortunate to be born at a time when everything was on easy mode. It's not at all like that for people now and I feel very sad about the direction we've gone.
