Surely you must be joking. Since when did Australians become so incapable of meeting their own needs that it became the governments responsibility to provide for their "intellectual, spiritual and cultural engagement". What has happened to these people and their families that they are unable to provide their own books, communications technology and other pass times? Should the government also supply these things for me and my family too? Is no-one responsible for themselves and their families any more in your opinion?
You obviously will not be satisfied until the government (taxpayers) control, pay for and regulate absolutely every aspect of our lives.
