Your assertion that only the "elite" are looked after in Australia is absolute bulltish.
Who are these "elite"? There are lots of very ordinary citizens that lead comfortable lives as a result of the hard work they have put in over a lifetime.
The reality is that anyone who wants to get off their backside and have a go has the opportunity in Australia to be very successfull. The only impediments to this are the plethora of green and red tape that is administered by a bloated, jobsworthy bunch of lazy boxticking bureaucrats.
