I noticed. I included her quote above your response.

I understand where she's coming from, and maybe Australian government is more amenable to listening to its people... I don't know. If they're happy, that's good.

But for here, I want our government to stay out of it. They're too far removed, and we're all just way too heterogeneous in our values.
