C'mon Cheetah! Not the same thing. You yourself said one man doesn't constitute a nation.

Privatising your health care isn't the same thing as being toffed on the face. It's a governmental policy and you know it.
Australia has been heading towards that direction for a while. There are arguments for and against privatisation. I lean towards public ownership but heck. I'm a part of a society. No way I'm going to hit those poor suckers we vote in, in the face with anything. Better them in the thankless job than me.
Matter of fact I'm off to vote now.
I'm pretty sure Australia will have at least 95% voter turnout.
