Australian here. We pay taxes, therefore the majority of healthcare is paid for by the govt. Visits to my GP cost $85, and I get about half back by rebate - they're 100% covered if you can find a doctor that bulk-bills medicare (unfortuntely rare these days). Prescription medicines cost ~$15 a script. A few years back I had stomach surgery, was in hospital for a few days, the whole experience cost me $30 out of pocket for post-surgery meds.

He tried to kill several people with his firearms, but the cramped design of the dozer meant he couldn't aim effectively. As another commenter said, none of what you posted is true. Hemayer was an angry asshole.

JFC, have you been under a rock the last decade? The majority of American population? Maybe. The oligarchs and ruling class? Pft, Trump looks up to Putin as a 'strong man'. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/28/politics/trump-putin-ukraine-russia-smart/index.html

It can be, but context is important.

Murdoch is an American citizen. Australians like me feel embarrased of his origins, but he's not our problem anymore.

No, you are. Checkmate.

If Labor wanted the support of left-wing voters, maybe they should stop pushing centrist, even right-wing, policies. Consequences, etc.
