What's the meaning of the word "official in this sentence? Thanks
They call us the "lucky country", but are we happy? Deacon University put that question to more than 22,000 of us and made a map of Australia's wellbeing. Our cities fared poorly, and the results showed that the road to happiness leads straight out of town. And the cheeriest place of all? Well, where, where else but Queensland? It's official — Hervey Bay is the happiest place in Australia, yet it's also one of the country's poorest electorates. It's got high unemployment, it's five hours north of the nearest "big smoke", Brisbane, but in satisfaction with standards of living, health, relationships and safety, it's better than anywhere else.
