How you do it is register at haaretz and you can read ten articles a month. It's better than nothing and it's free.. I'd be interested to hear yr thoughts after you've read it.
Btw, of course there's major differences between Israel and Australia. Ones big and not prime real estate while the others in a crap area that everyone wants to argue about the ownership of. We've argued before about most if not all of what you listed as differences so well have to keep on agreeing to disagree. The thing is there's going to be a time in the future when reconciliation will be high on the agenda and theyd do far worse than looking at how it works here.
