    Thanks for the detailed comment and links. I knew about the general neoliberal consensus of the 80s and 90s and the increasing stigmatizing of welfare, but not the connection with mutual obligations between the US, UK, and Australia.

    Also explains part of the motivation behind the Abbott/Hockey 2014 budget with its aggressive attacks on welfare, particularly welfare for the young.
