The one where everyone has access to hospitals,free medical,
schools,legal advice and the 38hour week?

For starters, yeah.

I hardly think Oz is a socialist country....

I've never thought of Australia as a socialist country either, but if one
has those things (above), someone has to pay for them. And if the
government is paying for them, then those are social programs right out of
the socialist playbook.

but if it is then those
"majority of Aussies find your brand of socialism repugnant"
got it all wrong when they re elected the current Govt for its 4th
term.

People just love free ****. Some object to being overtaxed to pay for it,
but those who aren't terribly productive don't seem to care much. They vote
for the guy who'll give them the most free stuff. Simple human nature.
Fortunately we, in this country, think such matters through more thoroughly
before voting for the giveaway guys.
