Australia, once at the forefront of democracy, has descended into a brutal dictatorship. Federally, the government has shut its borders to people arriving or leaving, on pain of 5 years’ imprisonment and a $65,000 fine to those caught trying. The Australian passport is worthless as even citizens cannot return. People over 50 years of age are considered dispensable. Vaccination was denied to Australians for many months, then they were offered an inferior one with potential deadly side effects while reserving the proven Pfizer vaccine for politicians and certain favoured groups. Over 50 year old citizens are being blamed for Australia’s problems. The Prime Minister told people trapped in the country but whose partners, children and jobs are overseas that they would rather be in Australia than with their families and jobs. He claims that he is doing G-d’s work. Even worse is the leadership of the state of Victoria, effectively run by a psychopathic Chief Medical Officer. He seems to enjoy keeping the populace off guard by imposing random and unannounced lock downs, which are brutally enforced by a police force which is absent when crime happens but descends in huge numbers in riot gear when people defy the strict measures. Police intimidate journalists who do not write favourable reports. The government has a daily fear campaign, announcing some new variant of the Covid 19 virus that spreads at lightening speed and kills huge numbers of people, when in reality it has trouble finding any cases. It relies on scaring people into getting Covid 19 tests to get a tiny number of positive results, well within the error rate for false positives. When he was called out for his lies, he decided to punish the people by extending the brutal lockdown. The economic devastation is catastrophic. Even worse, the population is suffering depression and anxiety at a high level. School children, frequently shut out of schools, have psychological scars. The government has also succeeded in pitting the rural population against the metropolitan population. All of these are straight out of the European communist playbook. There is no end in sight to this nightmare.
