And expensive, capped, government controlled internet. Which the government wants to add an extensive government firewall to. And logging/surveillance of which websites people visit.

But who want's freedom when you can have sausages? ;)

Geographic reasons for the capped and expensive internet. Long undersea cable to the US. Historically we have paid for traffic both to and from the US.

Government controlled? How? At least we can still play poker online or bet on the US elections. What restrictions do you mean?

> Which the government wants to add an extensive government firewall to.

Yep this would suck but it's not operating yet and can still be stopped.

> And logging/surveillance of which websites people visit.

Um no. You'd be thinking of the NSA there mate.

I'd welcome a legitimate comparison of the virtues of the Australian as opposed to the US system of democracy.
