Remember, Australia was the Queen’s penal colony.

Sounds like they still are…

I look at this headline and think of how it would apply to 1939 if only Nazis had helicopters.

And cell phones so that they can locate just about anyone.

If the Nazis had today's technology, almost no Jews would have escaped the Holocaust.

Just a hint, Australians; If those helicopters hover low enough, you can take them down without firearms. Try to do it before the ground troops get there though.

The Red Chinese are smarter than you — they will join those in charge (not the downtrodden).

China bypasses Australia to let it self-destruct. You make it too complicated.

Looks like they already have.

Even if they had not turned in their guns, the outcome would have been like it is in the US and the vote theft.
No difference.

The US is even more insane if they have a lockdown considering they have open borders(which Australia does not have).

“Around 300 Australian Defence Force (ADF) soldiers were deployed...”

That’s lunch for a platoon of Marines. What about dessert?

It is quite shocking.

No one ever realized how easy it could be.

Governments so big, so powerful turning on their own citizens.

No, those in power have gone stark raving mad. Government is NOT the friend of the people. That’s why the Founding Fathers gave us the 2nd Amendment. They gave us the means to protect ourselves against them. Some of these early American politicians were actually well meaning people who had our welfare in mind. Of course, all that has changed,
