Maybe it's time for the Australian government to start looking after the locals here.
Australian politicians and CEO's NEVER look after local Aussies. They haven't been doing it since Federation, and are not about to start now! (With the possible exception of Billy Hughes on Conscription for the British war effort in WW1. -But P.M. John Howard was on record to say he would consider it if "needed" again to support further American adventures, at the same time as he was taking away his citizens privately held firearms.)
Aussie Mateship is a cultivated Myth, brought up regularly to distract the voters from increased stifling regulation..
