Back about 5 or so years ago, when we were researching possible countries to move to, Australia was crossed off our list because it seemed like it was moving in the same direction as the U.S. - little freedoms being chipped away at, and little tolerance for anything at all less than mainstream and government-approved. Makes me sick. God forbid a government trust its' people to have brains of their own. Yup.

Not with midwifery yet but with supplements and raw milk, little freedoms being taken away. Our gov tried to outlaw BHRT - big pharma can't patent BHRT because it's made from natural ingredients... boo! Very sad when governments too big and wield too much power. At least we live in a fairly inefficient socialist country. I like to say we may not be free-er, but we feel free-er! Our government seems to be moving in the direction of Australia’s.
