Don't get too drawn in by the online hype. Abbott and LNP proposed plenty, but much of it hasn't materialized into any sort of legislation and probably won't. The Labor party dominating government wasn't a good thing either. Still a long way from becoming as bad as America. Consider that health insurance premiums for a family of four average at $16,000/year with $2,000 deductible in the U.S. Mass surveillance will get you no matter where you are in the world. Australia's real problem is its deep anti-intellectual culture and generally ignorant populace. Kind of the same deal as the US. At least your people are generally a bit more skeptical.
