What I don't understand is there is so much argument for US conservatives that the Government should stay out of our lives.....but government should also have complete Autonomy over bodies?


It depends. 

Conservatism doesn't advocate for a lawless society.  Conservatives also accept that laws by their very nature impinge on our lives.  Conservatives also accept its necessary for someone to make those laws and to also enforce them.  Conservatives accept that that is the job of government.  As a result government can't stay out of our lives in a lawful society.

The question them moves to how much should government laws impinge on our lives?

Laws exist as to who can have an abortion, when and who can perform it.  These laws try to balance the rights, health, safety and futures of mother, foetus/baby and practitioners with the ethical and moral expectations of the broader society. Nothing wrong with that.

If that’s how laws worked the conservatives in US would not advocate for people to have the weapons they do. 

It’s all about money and power over groups. Nothing more nothing less.

Why else would anyone go into politics? LOL.

The problem with politics is that the media has polarized public opinion by giving a platform to those on the extremes to set the narrative.  Rarely are issues as black and white as is presented.  Everyone lies and causes outrage from the opposition.  Great for the media.

Have you seen Peter Dutton's investment portfolio? A former thick and useless cop.

Are you talking about his real estate?.  Not uncommon in the ranks of the police force actually.  My understanding is that he started young, and flipped multiple PPOR properties so avoided CGT.  In fact an old high school buddy is a Fed cop and owns 3 rentals plus his own PPOR.  Not an intellectual but not stupid either. 

For me the standouts are to Shorten and Plibersek.  Plibersek moved straight out of Uni to a staffers role for a Minister and has never had a job outside politics all her life.  Shorten worked for the union and then Labor party.  Never really outside of politics.  Check their investment portfolio's out.  Not bad for a child of immigrants who doesn't know where "this term aspiration" comes from....
