So Uncle Joe wants Australia to have a welfare system more like those in Asia
This is what the Opposition Shadow Treasurer Joe Hockey's less government intervention and more individual self-sufficiency looks like in China, India, Japan, Burma, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia - abandoned babies, the elderly, young, sick and disabled just trying to survive.
The stuff nightmares are made of the average Aussie. But not for the man who wants to be Australia's next prime minister, Tony Abbott or Uncle Joe.

I took the effort to google the Singapore welfare system since it is certainly not a welfare free system and Singapore has one of the worlds highest per capita GDP. This link http://www.economist.com/node/15524092 suggests that, while its health system may be excellent it takes a very stingy approach to supportof the unemployed and elderly with the emphasis being on getting people back to work rather than financial support.
