You know... there are many many other ways related to peoples rights too that hurts Australia and makes it rightwing vs the US.

For example, the level at which they STILL screw over their indegious peoples.  (Native American's are pretty screwed up form past treatments, but violations against them are far lower and not instutitionalized like Austarlia.)

It's so bad to the point of where they've been called out by the UN human rights council.


I'd certainly agree that our treatment of the indigenous peoples is poor.

It cuts both ways though, as we've had plenty of pm's that are athiests and agnostics and in general religion is far less of an issue here for example.

The proposed internet filter however wont pass the upper house as the greens and the liberals are both against it. So its hard to say that civil liberties are curbed by something thats proposed and not actually law and certainly wont become law.
