Rather than criticising the Economist Intelligence Unit for ranking Brisbane behind Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney and Perth in liveability (Brisbane leaders in disbelief at our city’s low liveability ranking), we should ask how can we make our city more liveable so we can achieve a better ranking in the future? There is one obvious way Brisbane is less liveable than other major Australian cities (except Perth): our ridiculously restrictive retail trading hours. See my previous post:
