That's unbelievable, fascism takes over a formally free country in just a few months.

It has been about a 30 year process. The country started going bad during the 1980's, as the labor (city) party took over from the Country party in a big way. The country party was led by pretty Conservative large landowners, pretty much. They were mostly live and let live.

But the big city operatives have always been pretty active "tell you what to do" kind of politicians.

Once they got liberal immigration going strong, the cities population grew very fast. The country people just do not have enough votes.

Yup, and the covid 'emergency powers' the leaders bestowed upon themselves sealed the deal.

It was incredibly eerie watching the Aussie police forcibly arrest a citizen for the 'crime' of not wearing a worthless face covering.

True. I remember after defecting from the commies in mid 80's I wanted to apply for Australian asylum at the embassy in Vienna.
Was refused, the reason: I was white and my English wasn't good enough. :-)
