DESCENT INTO HELL

Australia used to be known as “the lucky country” for its free, easy going lifestyle and opportunity for those who worked hard, as many European migrants who ran away from the hell that the Nazi and communist occupations brought. Now that hell has descended on Australia, as Victoria has been seized by a brutal dictator, using the excuse of Covid19 to suspend parliament, lock everyone in their homes, only allowing people to go out briefly to get food and little exercise while forced to wear masks, and unleashing police brutally. As large groups of heavily armed police roam the streets, pulling people out of cars and viciously beating them senseless while letting African gangs have a free hand in invading homes and beating people senseless. Police even brutally arrest pregnant women in front of their children for posting unfavourable comments about the government on Facebook. Even foreign nationals are prevented from seeking assistance at their consulates and embassies, and are prevented from leaving the country. The Federal government has sent troops to assist the police in its campaign of fear and intimidation. For those who migrated from Europe, this is extremely traumatic. (Australia has a negligible number of active Covid19 cases; 35 new cases this day).
