The irony is I consider Australia to be a socialist country already, unfortunately it only applies to the middle poor and poorer poor doing as most do the heavy lifting, they pay most of the taxes and contribute more in terms of government income and infrastructure support than the rich who pay much less tax through loop holes, and seem to benefit more from others sweat and efforts, the irony is you don't see the rich complain about socialism when they benefit from it, ie taking advantage of the ave pleb slave labour, but bitch and moan when asked to pitch in for their fair share of tax, the hypocrisy is that the biggest economic bludgers are the super wealthy, the poor are subsidising their lifestyle of yachts and caviar
