Australia is notoriously running in a funny way,

in the way that how easy policies / standards can be manipulated by commercial interests, rather than common interests. This is why after one hundred years, although it has been a really lucky country, it has not produced any thought-leading / breakthrough / world leading products or business.

No point suggesting this or that. The breed of the country - descendents of a bunch of convicts determines it cannot reform in a revolutionary way.

The drive to reform comes from true desire to make a difference for the common goodness. This desire can only be generated among the people who have lived generation by generation (maybe a few hundred years) very comfortable lives and start waking up to the unfairness in the society. For Australia to reach that stage, wait at least one more hundred years. Majority people are still happy about the Yi Mu San Fen Di, after leaving uncomfortable lives in English, Italy, Asia etc. Comforts and insecurity are still deeply rooted in their psych, that they do not have the courage to make any fundamental changes.
