Well, that's about to change with the new budget it seems.

  Talk about hyperbole.

    I'm more than happy to concede your point if you can point out where my exaggeration lies.

  If Abbott isn't kicked out soon, Australia is going to become a much, much worse place. (for many reasons, not just the above) I had tears in my eyes when my parents told me of his plans to charge University and healthcare fees. I used to be proud to be Australian, I hope I can be in the future.

    The change of healthcare fees was a $7 co-payment on going to the doctor and less of a tax benefit for higher income earners. Australia still has universal health cover.

      Almost. There are in fact people in the world who do not have $7 and who once could walk into a clinic but will have to essentially beg their doctor to give them service for free. It's a tiny crack but if you want to apply the word "universal" a tiny crack is as good as a chasm.
