They are conflating government with politicians.They area not the same thing.
Yet many of those same people were perfectly happy for the US government to bail out the banks and General Motors. A non interfering government in a laissez faire system would have allowed both to fail.
Aussies trust government with our health, education, and welfare,of which it makes pretty good fist. We also have a healthy contempt for most politicians.
