To expand on what the other comment stated.

After a mass shooting the Aus Conservative party passed laws that basically ended mass shootings decades ago. Despite the fact there are now more firearms in Aus than before the laws were passed.

Universal healthcare, far from perfect but it actually exists and has been in place for 50 years.

A level of worker protection that the USA can only dream of. You cannot be fired without good reasons and because i said so is not one of them. Mandatory sick leave (10 days) and holiday pay (20 days) for all full time workers.

A minimum wage that automatically rises every year to keep up with inflation. (it went up 8.5% this year alone)

Can't find work? As long as you are actually looking you will receive benefits, for years.

Abortion is not a political issue. It is a medical decision for the woman involved and that is it.
