Done... of course there is that small issue of our health system being somewhat underfunded as is, so yeah, not optimistic

If a sugar tax could fund it entirely, it might be worth exploring.

Indeed, you'd think that in an allegedly civilised society, free healthcare might be a priority for any govt. So much so that I suspect than any party trying for election might be overwhelmed by support, if they were to make it a priority policy if elected.
And likewise, any party stating that their top priority is to remove Neoliberalism would very likely also be overwhelmed with support...
