The bad news out of Australia is well known to Freepers.
But there are enough of us fighting back for there to be hope.
Clive Palmer's United Australia Party will run candidates in all seats in the upcoming Federal election. They swung the 2019 election towards the conservative side of politics here. This time he is campaigning on the promise to end lockdown and mandate madness and to push for a bill of rights in the constitution. Not easy to do here. but he has a shot at getting the balance of power in the Senate and then being in a strong position to get better laws through and get rid of the bad ones.
Pauline Hanson is pushing for a royal commission into what governments have done during the pandemic.
The Liberal (understand this as libertarian to make sense in America) Democrats have a great freedom manifesto and their parliamentarian David Limbrik has told me he will add teeth to the current human rights charter.
Peter Dutton of the governing conservative coalition is looking hard at the Australian Labor Party's connections to China.
Sometimes democracy works.
Perhaps its the best hope we've got.
Go for it!
