Yes, It Really is as You’ve Been Informed about How Bad It Now is in Australia.

This is for all of you who have recently been wondering, “What the hell is going on down there?”, in the nation within the map above. The rumours you may have heard, along with many news reports, have recently portrayed the situation here as being dire and dark, without hope, describing a nation goose-stepping into totalitarianism. Those rumours, those reports, are basically correct.(snip)

I will attempt to give a rather brief summary in point form of the situation as it currently is within this ‘MyTake’, because to do otherwise, to attempt to go into detail, would entail writing a book.

1. Freedom of speech is dead. It’s gone, it simply doesn’t exist anymore. For evidence of this fact, I present the following true story -

The link is to a video that is owned by ABC News, a source that is a state-run (yes, you saw that correctly – state run) channel that is so left-wing that it makes others like the BBC, CNN, and MSNBC seem as though they’re run by reasonable, conservative libertarians. If you’re the type of person who values truth and honesty, and you don’t accept the official narrative about the virus and openly say so on social media, you can expect “visitors” to your house who will place nice, shiny jewellery on your wrists.

2. An endless sequence of ‘lockdowns’, one after another, that serve no discernable purpose.(snip)

3. A state government in Victoria that is authoritarian, irresponsible, incompetent and arrogant beyond belief.(snip)

4. ‘Freedom Day’.(snip)

5. Pepper spray, batons and rubber bullets.(snip)

6. A mainstream media that is positively Goebbelesque in its presentation of the news. Peaceful demonstrators are openly demonised, and referred to as being “right-wing anti-vaxxers”, even though there is precisely zero evidence for either charge.

Do they have some kind of dangerous disease going on down there?

Ebola? Marburg? Bubonic plague?

Because if it is just Covid with its 99+% survival rate, the out of control governments there need to be replaced completely, and immediately.

Give up your guns and the right to defend yourself? Then get on your knees, you have lips at both ends.

Never live in a country that was once a penal colony.

I'm angered by this report because the same caliber of people are operating OUR nation.

Our salvation will be because we are armed.

But only if we have the will to kill.

Standing at my doorstep and yelling, "You better not come any farther .... I'm warning you, I really mean it this time ....", will get me arrested or embarrassingly killed.

[madison10]

I guess not!

[DJ MacWoW]

Sounds like they are embracing their roots.

Where's Quigley when you need him?! Oh wait, they took his gun.

Gavin Newsome is taking notes.

Those smelly fat-ass fascist cops are a disgrace to their profession. They are common thugs and bullies. They would have gladly worked for Hitler or Stalin.

Did Yoda write that title? There has to be an easier way to say that.

Sounds like the ChiComs are softening them up.

At what point do you come to the same conclusion that our Founding Fathers faced in 1776?

I am wondering what the tripping point is here.

I don’t know what is going on in the USA, but things must be so bad they have to deflect issues and exaggerate about Australia. As I read the papers and what the media says , it looks like things are much worse in the USA. There are so many things wrong with this article, that I really don’t have time to write about all of them.

However, just addressing the first point, it is misleading to say that ABC News is run by the state. In fact it is funded mainly by the government, but it is like PBS in the USA. I have written before how terrible ABC is in Australia. It is actually run by the Green Party and not by the government. In fact it hates the current Federal conservative party in power. It is the same as CNN and MSNBC in the USA. They do not allow any conservative commentators. There is conservative media, as I have written before, Sky News, which as some very conservative commentators that start at 5:30 pm each day and, such at Peta Credlin (former chief of staff for Tony Abbott), Andrew Bolt (fantastic), Alan Jones, Rita Panahi, Paul Murray (friend of Trump), Sharri Markson (wrote the book “What Really Happened in Wuhan) covers China much better than any USA media, Rowan Dean (Spectator Australia), Chris Kenny, James Morrow.

6. A mainstream media that is positively Goebbelesque in its presentation of the news. Peaceful demonstrators are openly demonised, and referred to as being “right-wing anti-vaxxers”, even though there is precisely zero evidence

The mainstream media IS THE NUMBER ONE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE worldwide.

[Aussiebabe]

Yes, you are right, in many ways it is much worse in the USA. You actually have a fascist Federal Government. There are many things wrong in Australia, but the USA has just as many problems or many more. So we should work together as conservatives to correct those issues, not attack other countries. As I have written many times in the past few weeks, “people who live in glass countries shouldn't throw stones”.

[Aussiebabe]

Is that what is wrong with Georgia? By the way, did you know that before Australia became the UK’s penal colony, it was into America where they sent the prisoners? The UK only started sending prisoners to Australia because of the American Revolution. Once they could not send prisoners to America, they started to send them to Australia in 1788. So we have a lot in common and Australians can also thank the Americans for establishing Australia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convicts_in_Australia

Bingo!

Must be a lot of democrats in control down there.

Have you watched PBS lately? Getting very woke.
