All Australians are polymath intellectuals and it’s not uncommon to see a primary school child or a common tradesman reading and discussing the great works of literature, both non fiction such as The Theory of Moral Sentiments and fiction such as War and Peace and discussing these with their peers. For example, just yesterday I partook in an avid yarn with a young schoolboy only six years of age about the consequential nature of the impacts brought about by Keynesian economics and it’s abrupt transition into neo-liberal economics under the Thatcher/Reagan governments.

Yeah I suppose. I don't know if the neocon label can really apply in Australia except for the general support for American foreign policy and security shit. Conservatism in Australia doesn't have the same intellectual traditions as in the US. The liberals are certainly social conservatives, and in that sense they contrast with social liberals. Labor and Liberal are just liberals with social democratic or conservative leanings at this point.
